The description of this property clearly states Annes place is not 5 star luxury – and being a family whose preferred accommodation is usually camping we thought this would suit us OK – however we were very disappointed with what we found.
Pros: Lots of places for people to sleep, beautiful setting in a great location.
Cons: No communal place for large groups to hang out and relax after bed time (the largest communal lounge also has bunks in it – so if travelling with children this means you cannot hang out here once kids are in bed). Some very obvious maintenance issues that had not been seen to – think - broken couches, broken / wobbly table legs, broken beds (strapped together), dryer with no external ventilation & 3rd storey windows with no child safety catches.
General areas looked tidy and the bathrooms were clean - However overall the whole place was in desperate need of deep clean. There were large piles of dirty dusty magazines, filthy windows & walls and cupboards with broken appliances and rubbish in them.
The icing on the cake was the ‘upon vacating’ check list left by the owner, which after completing (for fear of being charged more money on top of the cleaning fee I had already paid) the place looked cleaner and more tidy than we found it.
I can see that this place could suit large groups of students or families with teenagers who just want a place to crash after a day at the lake or in the redwoods. But personally I would prefer to save my money next time and stay in a tent.
