There is no pool in the backyard. I thought the communal pool was referring to the pool on her backyard that you share with her, and the private pool was the one in the backyard. However, the pool in the back is broken. Otherwise, the place was quaint, clean and cozy. The hot tub was nice and warmed up for when we got there and smelled of chlorine, so we know it was cleaned. At first, it feels a little cramped when you go and try to put your suitcase or clothes anywhere (there is a nice bar with hangers, but that isn’t big enough for two people). She was always very caring and quick to respond to any questions or concerns. The place was thoroughly clean and smelled nice. Extremely easy and laid back check-in process. Lastly, the location was nice and private with beautiful fireflies and plenty of space for our dog to run around and explore.
