What recent reviews say

Guests describe a family-sized house with appealing features like a hot tub and proximity to waterfalls, though recent reviews flag serious maintenance lapses: broken fridge, dusty interiors, and stained bedding. The owner is noted as friendly, but upkeep appears inconsistent.
