Multiple reviews say the hot tub wasn’t working during their stay, including cases where it was broken, unusable, or had control issues. In a separate set of reviews, guests describe using the hot tub for relaxing evenings. Even when hot tubs are mentioned positively, other comments point to maintenance and usability problems that can affect the stay.

caveat 4 reviews mention this

Wi-Fi and TV can be spotty

Internet and satellite service are inconsistent for some guests.

Several guests report weak or unreliable Wi-Fi, including one stay where it was out for days and another where the connection issues affected comfort. Reviews also mention satellite or cable problems where the satellite service wouldn’t work as expected, even though streaming through Roku was available. A few guests report only intermittent issues, suggesting reliability may depend on the specific cabin or timing.

Pricing feels high to some

Some reviewers think the pricing isn’t worth the issues they encountered.

At least two reviews directly connect perceived value problems to the price.

These comments generally align with reports of unresolved maintenance or other stay disruptions.
