We stayed at the Roost. Very beautiful and private, but extremely noisy. There was construction going on in both corners of the backyard, and at 4 pm everyday, there would be loud hammering at the next door neighbor's house by the fire pit. Bring ear plugs and head phones for the next few months. There's such a huge emphasis on being quiet, but it seems like a one way deal. The pool area has been remodeled, so all the pics online are old and need to be updated. The spa is now connected to the pool, and it is amazing. They've opened up the back even more, and it is a sun tanner's dream. The pool is beautiful, and has a deep end. Lots of chairs to sit and tan in. I enjoyed rocking in the patio chairs in the shade, and listening to tunes or reading. The spa needs a thermostat, as you could not control the temp. You'd have to get out, walk over, and turn it off by the pool pump when it got too hot. Not that difficult, but you're on vacation, right?
Maybe a switch closer to the spa so you can turn the heat off? The interior of the house was well laid out, but the furniture was not that comfortable. It felt like staging furniture. It didn't matter much, since we were outside the whole time. The front living room has a billiards table, but the room really isn't big enough to play pool in there. I'd rather have the ping pong table in there. It looked nice, though. The kitchen was great, but a little more counter space would be good. maybe putting a rolling cutting board where the cabinet is by the kitchen door, that way you could roll it out when cooking and making food. Loved the gas oven and stove. The kitchen is well stocked with everything. Lots of bedding, pillows and towels. Beds were all very comfortable, but the pool pump is right next to the wall of one of the master bedrooms. Our guests had a hard time sleeping in there. Maybe there's a way to close that noise in? it would make the backyard quieter too. Also, master bathroom shower head needs to be replaced. Does not work well. Set some speakers up so it's easy to play your tunes inside. Grocery delivery is available, so we didn't need a car. You could walk to the convenience/liquor store as well. You could even walk to downtown. It would only take 30 minutes. We would love to come back here once the construction is over. Felt very safe, beautiful neighborhood. Thank you ACME!
