We enjoyed our stay at this unit very much! The driveway is easy to navigate. The kitchen/pantry area has lots of cookware, dishes, pot holders, Tupperware, etc… for dining in. My kids really enjoyed the foosball table, video games, and hot tub. We also enjoyed the ease of the gas fireplaces and the fun of the wood burning pit in the front.
