I reached out to Dori & Jeff to let them know that this Air B&B was going to be for my visiting parents and they reassured me that half the people that stay there are parents, including their own, which was awesome! Dori was an excellent communicator. The place was clean and updated and in a fantastic location (around the corner from Mustard Seed Cafe and Jeni's Ice Cream!). The A/C unfortunately stopped working one night and Dori had someone come out the same night to fix it.
In our initial exchange Dori let me know that they were doing construction on their house, but that they were hoping it would be done by the time my folks arrived and if not, it would probably just be interiors. We were a little startled to see when we showed up that the house was basically still down to the framing. The path leading to the guest house was lined with construction materials and garbage, and the backyard was filled with the same. We found boards with nails exposed along the path as well as sharp metal HVAC parts. It wasn't the best welcoming and I think that Dori should give her guests a little bit more of a heads up about the state of the property before they get there. My parents also had to go out and buy bar soap, dish soap and sponges as they were not provided.
Dori did compensate us a night, which we appreciate. I think the actual place is great and is in a great location. I just think it is only fair to tell anyone staying here in the next couple of weeks that the guest house is currently in the middle of a major construction zone and that there will be workers there at 8am, including Saturdays.
