Feel free to reach out I a more than happy to give you suggestions. 

My 2 cents is that for non-sleeping areas, hot tubs, pool tables and movie rooms are top amenities that guest have personally told me they like the best.I think an outdoor rated pool table (or maybe ping pong table), TV and comfortable seating would likely be the best bang for your buck.

Feel free to reach out to me for some contacts and recommendations.
