We stayed in Renew (first home going up hill) first week of November. It was cooler weather but not terribly cold until our last night, when it snowed.
The photos are very accurate-tiny. These are not a place to hangout at but rather a place to sleep and maybe relax, weather pending.
if you are at all claustrophobic, this could not be a place for you. The first night, I was in my head laying in bed wondering if I will be able to sleep and or stay for our reservation time. I finally fell asleep and I was fine for the remainder of our trip, it was just that first night.
Steps are steep and takes a few times to figure out best way to get up and down. The steps are not in middle of peak of roof so you need to maneuver over to get to bed. You could scrape or shin or knee but we had no issues.
I find Renew to be most private of the 4 options w/o residential neighbor near and hot tub off to side, not on deck.
I don't know if there were any pots or anything to cook with, we ate out but did use the coffee press.
Without a heater, we slept warmly upstairs, except for night it snowed, as I had window open. I wonder how well AC works in summer time when sleeping so close to roof.
If you are not organized with your belongings, you will be frustrated with lack of space and your clothes. We had not issues but I could see where someone might.
