Nice private setting, pretty well equipped kitchen. Pics showed a gas grill but they only had a charcoal grill, wish we knew that in advance to have charcoal and lighter fluid. The place was clean including the bathrooms. Biggest complaint was the pool table was not in a condtion that was worth even practicing on, needs new cloth and to have the rails tightened. We would stay there again.
