Great house for our ten person group. The top floor has one king size bed and bathroom, the ground floor has 2 king size beds and a bathroom and the basement level has 2 king size beds, a dorm type room with 4 bunk beds and 1 bathroom. The basement bathroom is within the room with the 4 bunked beds and one of the king sized beds is in a room where you have to walk through the bunk bedroom. So the basement is a little convoluted, there is also a big living room with a pool table and a small kitchenette, large sofa and a tv. The hot tub is on a deck off the basement level. The basement had a musty odor but the family that stayed down there didn’t seem bothered by that. Washer and dryer is also in the basement. The house suited our groups needs well.
