Upon my arrival, the downstairs bedroom reeked of cigarette smoke, and the breaker had already blown for the electric upstairs. Between these two issues, it was clear to me that the space hadn’t been properly checked and cleaned. David’s solution was to give me a suite connected to his home, which I saw available upon booking, and which I didn’t want.
I asked for a refund. Since there’s no cell service on David’s property, I waited in my car for over an hour for him to confirm a refund. He agreed to refunding the second night of my stay, but said that since I wouldn’t cancel my reservation for him to rebook that night, he wouldn’t refund. His aim to rebook at 8pm shows again that his cleaning procedures are cursory and unsanitary.
The surroundings are stunning. The dirt road is in bad shape from the rain, but the payoff is the stream is loud and full, and the mountains are beautifully green. I would recommend this spot to anyone who wants to smoke inside in a beautiful place.
