Many good things about this house, and a few significant negatives as well. Positives: Plenty of room to spread out for our crew, very nice accommodations, comfortable beds, large kitchen with lots of cups, plates & bowls, and utensils. AC and heating were good once we figured it all out. The hot tub and sauna were both in excellent condition and all were pleased. Game room area was excellent. Everyone took pictures with the living room bear, which was a huge hit. The Camelback area was lovely and all appreciated the shopping situation.Negatives: In the kitchen, there were no small glasses, such as for wine or juice. We ended up using plastic throwaway cups. No extra towels or blankets in the kitchen, bathrooms or bedrooms. No bathmats or non-skid shower mats.Our biggest beef by far was that the pool was closed and under construction. The ad indicated (somewhere) that the pool was available when opened. One would assume that maybe there were some hours or days that it was unavailable. However, The pool was totally under construction and was nowhere near completion. It looks like it will be magnificent once it's finished, but that appears months away. A pool has always been a major factor in our decision, so this was a big deal. The host graciously arranged for us to use a neighboring indoor pool for one day of our stay, but the pool was old and tired, and not well taken care of. The ad should have stated this situation directly.
