nice place. The open bathroom upstairs was a little different. Glad we had a second one downstairs with privacy. The back door ring camera was a little unnerving to us since it was close to the hot tub. We blocked it with hot tub cover laying on tree. Overall, a very nice place with a nice seclusion and descent hot tub. Would stay again
