Michael's farm house is very much a farm house.
While the place is relatively inexpensive in relation to most in the area, and the surrounds and its birdlife are indeed quite beautiful - the house itself needs improvement in order to provide a comfortable and relaxing stay.
I don't usually like to be critical of places I stay, however, I feel that there are a few key things that should be mentioned to prepare future visitors for the 'rustic' nature of the place.
As it stands, my main issues with the place were:
- Bugs littered the main bedroom on the first evening
- Linen and carpets need a clean.
- BBQ needed cleaning prior to use
- Furniture (couches) need a clean or replacement in order to be comfortable.
- Spare bedrooms are dark and dingy.
While it was great to be able to drive five minutes to the beach and town, and two minutes into the forest, you will need to be very comfortable with rustic to enjoy a relaxing stay.
While I find Air BnB a little tricky to communicate through at times, Michael's communication was prompt, responding to all questions very quickly.
