After seeing Amy G's review, I reached out to Kathy as I had strong concerns because the main reason we were going was because of the pool and arcade games. Kathy was very kind (like Amy said), explained that they had never had concerns like this before in regard to the pool / games but, admitted again that 5 weren't working but, they were going to try to get somebody in to fix those games and make sure the pool was close to the mid 80s in temperature. At arrival, we found out the games hadn't been fixed (Kathy did have a family issue but, I really don't think the games were ever going to be fixed). Also, as we started playing we learned just because a game turns on doesn't mean it works. Note most of these games are 30+ years old with quirks (meaning they by and large do not work well). The skee-ball game didn't keep score half the time, the b-ball game sometimes worked, the air hockey game didn't have a lot of air pressure, 1 of the HydroThunder games went on the blink half the time, etc.
These games did not work at all: Sports Shooting, Target Force, 1 Sega Super GT, Arcade Legends, Boxing game, Big Buck and Deer Hunting USA. The Deal or No Deal was really just a waste of space as the only purpose was to win tickets which, wasn't going to happen in a residential setting.
There is no direct access from the house to the pool so, when it is 35 degrees outside, it is "chilly" making that transition back / forth. The actual pool was not as bad as Amy suggested and we were allowed to close a few windows to help make it comfortable but, at no time were we able to stay in the pool for more than an hour which was disappointing. Kathy said it was set to 84 degrees but, that doesn't mean it ever got to 84 degrees. I think Kathy is an attorney or in the legal field because, you have to be careful on her answers! I feel bad that they spent a lot of money apparently to fix the pool mechanical system but, it still doesn't work. The karaoke machine wasn't hooked up, Kathy offered to come over to fix it but, at this price point, things should be checked out in between guests.
Also, it should be noted the hosts are "on property" in a mobile home and sometimes in the non-rented part of the house. This was a bit different to me (and we did hear them from time to time).
The bedrooms, bathrooms and TVs were all great. If like the 2/14 review you want a relaxing time, give it a try. Don't go for the swimming in the Winter or the games!
