Excellent homely house with lots of extras. Our grandkids had a great time and especially liked the hot tub. Only minor issues was we had to defrost the freezer as it had so much ice we couldn't use the top drawer. This could have been caused by freezer not being shut properly at some time. This is no major criticism as the house was perfect for our needs.
