If you read the description and reviews carefully, this place is mostly true to its promise. Good value, small place, basic kitchenette, soft bed. The hot tub was definitely the selling point. I was aware of the outdoor shower, which was fun & quaint, but it was sometimes tough to motivate myself to go out there to shower since the mornings were very chilly (the shower itself gets very hot though)
***Here what I wish I had read in the reviews***: If you’re a rule follower, you might find this to be a stressful experience. I found myself constantly having anxiety over whether I’d left my towel in the right place (or whether I was accidentally breaking 10 other rules in the booklet that I was told was mandatory reading). I realize the rules are probably there because of inconsiderate past guests, but it felt like a lot of specific detail and made it hard to relax.
One rule that I wish has been in the description up front: no guests allowed in the hot top (or anywhere I guess). Again, I get that Bay doesn’t want you to have a rager at her place, but I had been hoping I could have spent one chill evening catching up with two of my local friends with some wine in the hot tub, and that was one of the reasons I had booked this place. With stern language of the rule book (and knowing that Bay keeps a close eye on comings & goings, since she comes in to take out dirty dishes), I decided not to risk it.
