The house at Shadow Lane is great for a large group. We had 8 people and had more than ample space to spread out, have privacy and enjoy the weekend.
The pros: The house is absolutely massive. The tv area was great for hanging out and watching tv with the fire on. Similarly, the kitchen / pool table area were great for group socializing. The house was clean and well kept, beds comfortable and rooms well appointed. The washer and dryer were a plus.
The cons: I understand that keeping a pool heated in Las Vegas winter is not an inexpensive endeavor. That being said, the fact that we had to pay a good chunk of money to have the just the hot tub heated, then were told we could only pay in cash, is patently ridiculous. The hot tub stayed hot for 24 hours (after taking 24 to heat). We returned back to the house from our hockey tournament, very much looking forward to a soak, only to find that the hot tub had returned to a chilly 69 degrees. Needless to say, we were disappointed to have only been able to use it once during our stay. It was unclear why it stopped heating, and was certainly not worth the money we paid for the time we were able to spend in it.
All told, it is unlikely we will return to the house. The space itself was great, but the way the hot tub was dealt with was disappointing.
