This was a large room with jacuzzi in the room and a patio overlooking the lake. We loved it! Only criticism would be the ceiling fan needed a good cleaning. The outdoor pool and hot tub were very fun. The kids tolerated the pool better than I thought but eventually found themselves too cold and joined in the hot tub. Possibly a warmer pool if they could. Would definitely stay again. Beds were comfortable and ambiance was great!!
