Chelsea’s place was great! We had a great time. The house was cozy and nice. The kitchen and bathroom were fully equipped. The location was great too. It’s close to two camping sites where you could watch sunrise and sunset.
Chelsea was very responsive and patient with me, even before the trip. She gave me great suggestions on things to do, what to bring or prepare for the trip.
The hosts also have a few great environmental friendly ideas which I appreciate . For example, they didn’t provide any paper towel in the kitchen. Instead, they provided us with a lot of dish-wash cloths. So they could help minimize the waste and landfills. It’s really a great idea!
The house probably has a bit more rules compared to other places, including a checkout list which contains detailed instructions for dealing with organic waste, washing the dish-wash cloths, loading the dishwasher before check-out, etc. Although it has more house rules, I think the rules actually help keep the house nice and clean, which is good.
We did experience a power outage in the morning before we checked out. It seems that it’s a bit common in winter. Having that said, the hosts had prepared emergency plans and instruction details to address cooking and heating needs. There was one propane BBQ grill right outside the house. Backup water, backup batteries and extra blankets were also provided. So we were not panic when it happened. We were also informed that they planned to install a Tesla power wall in the future which could help address the power outage issues.
To sum up, this is a great place with great hosts!
