Disclaimers: The property is huge and vast and we are continually maintaining it. As mentioned tennis court is in C/D condition. You are outside in the wilderness so it is natural to run into critters. We do continually landscape but 10 acres is impossible with the budget we have to keep all the weeds down, expect to see some weeds on the property. Our tiki bar by the pool is currently undergoing improvements. On your checkout day our exterior groundskeeping may start as early as 8:30 AM due to the size of the property we have to maintain.
