My boyfriend and I booked this amazing getaway to have a little peace and quiet. We both travel for our jobs so it's nice to spend quality time with each other. The house we stayed in was clean and had an amazing book and art collection. It was really fun to look around the property at all the live animals and art installations from way-back-when. It's a Bohemian time capsule. The pool was so refreshing on a hot summer day and was probably my most favorite part about the stay. I went down the slide at least 50 times! Make sure you soak the slide with plenty of water before sliding in as it's made of metal and burn your bum. I'm glad the listing mentioned that there was honey bees on the property and close to the pool but they didn't bug us at all (no pun intended). The house also had air condtioning which was so welcome during the hot summer days.
There wasn't very many downsides to the property but when we arrived there was a large party at another house on the property and several people were roaming everywhere, even our backyard so it didn't feel very private at first. They were gone by morning so we had the next 2 days by ourselves. There was also ants in the kitchen but luckily i brought some essential oils and got most of them to leave. You might want to keep your food secured in Tupperware or bring rubber bands to close packages tightly.
You should bring your own filtered water, oils, condiments and food with you. The things they had in the cabinets seemed a bit past their prime.
The staff we met was very friendly and explained a lot about the property. It was also cool that we could bring our dogs. We had a really great time here.
