Let me just begin by saying this was a very good stay and I really enjoyed myself, but I was continuously insulted by the man, Hugh. His family, sons and wife, are all excellent and wonderful to speak and converse with.
Hugh was upset that I was not a man.
I suppose with his bad eye sight and everything, he perceived an older profile photo wrong, but I did not look like a fucking man in that picture. I looked like myself but a younger version. It was a selfie with a dog. Did he mistake me for the dog? My first time speaking to Hugh was after we landed and he called me to make sure we got there okay. He immediately asked if there was a man he could speak to. I said no, that this is her, Riley. He kept asking me over and over if I had a brother or if someone else made the reservation for me, I assured him that it was me who made the reservation, and that it was I who was messaging with him the entire time before the trip.
He did not seem pleased.
We got to the airbnb and his wife greeted us, checked us in, and showed us around. She is the very picture of pleasant. I met Hugh in person shortly after as he came out of the garage in a robe and continued to drill me on why I was not a man. I literally said "no, im not a man. My name is Riley, nice to meet you!" and he continued! to ask me why I was not a man, why it was only me and my sister, and why we did not have a man with us. Even his son who I spoke to for a very short amount of time was like, "soo, you're here with your boyfriend right?" NOPE YALL it is just me and just my little sister. I have never been so insulted in my life, and to my face! I quickly changed my profile picture so something hopefully more recent, I guess, and my bio to include that I identify as a woman since it is not obvious enough.
I would NOT suggest this place to any single women, even if there is more than one woman in your party. After learning of their disapproval in us being alone, I no longer felt completely safe. Are your sons single and way too ready to mingle or something? Too tempting for you Hugh?
I would also not suggest this place to anyone of LGBTQ origin. If the confusion over me being a man or not is too much for them, imagine what would happen if a trans person or non binary person booked here? What hate and insults would they get? It could have been that we were both female and its not right for two women to share a tiny house together alone in their eyes?
Anyway, if you prefer not to get insulted and confused for as a man then don't go here, if your a man, go for it. Apparently only straight men are welcome here, oh and maybe one woman accompanying him.
Oh and I almost forgot. They have three small dogs in total. Make sure to close the gate after yourself, as some dog people do not understand this. Rosie is the nicest of the three, she lives and goes in and out of the front door to the house, the other two are not the nicest. In fact, the other tan dog (rosie is tan and white) was very aggressive and mean, showing his teeth, barking, nipping, and raising his back fur. I work in an animal hospital and I was telling my sister to be careful around the reactive dog. It is completely unacceptable to allow any dog to act like that, even if they are a small breed. He barred us in the tiny house once barking aggressively at the door for forever and we could not leave. People I work with animals as a living and I could not get past this dog. I love rosie though. She's the best.
So don't stay here if you're not a straight man or if you don't like dogs. The small black and brown dog might nip from fear, he shakes in fear when you look at him or go to let him sniff your hand, dogs can be fear aggresive as well! Just need to put a huge caution sign on this whole place tbh. SMH!
