Room was very cold at night , mini split could not accommodate the cold weather . Need to install flaps on roof vents , when the wind blew at night it was at least 35’ inside. No hot water on sink in living area . But all and all I really enjoyed the area . This is good for the summer .
Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2025
