"We unfortunately weren't able to use the hot tub as it was raining or very windy and just wasn't pleasant to be outside. We missed seeing the sunset as well due to weather. Sad. But the place was charming, clean and easy to find! We would love to go back when we can use the outside. The fireplace instructions were a little confusing as it stated we needed to use the remote control only, however, it turned out the remote control was the little black box connected to the fireplace (we think??). That's what we used as we didn't see an actual "remote control". Hope that was the "remote control" you were speaking of. Also, the bedroom ceiling fan/light remote control on the wall as you walk into the bedroom was broken and we had a dickens of a time using the ceiling fan without the light on. I don't know how he did it, but my husband figured a way somehow.But all in all, I would give the space 5 stars as it was restful, relaxing and we slept so well on that comfortable bed and soft linens. Thanks so much!!!"
