The barn was great and had everything we needed. Perfectly located but the lane on both sides is very narrow. We are used to narrow roads and luckily for us we didnt meet a tractor!! The hot tub was disappointing as you had to put it together and build the fire. However during mid summer it may have been a fun addition for a relaxing evening.
