If you're looking for an interesting, eclectic, unique spot to stay, you have found it! (but read the whole review) The photos featured on the listing are a very good representation of what to expect. The layout is very strange, but not off putting. There are a lot of levels to the home, not flights of stairs, but a step or 2 up/down to get to the various rooms. Can be quite tricky for elderly or small children. I would not characterize this home as particularly kid friendly (not under say 5 years old, my child is under 3) due to all the hard surfaces and loads of decor.
While we did enjoy the play structure, it needs some work to make it a bit more stable. The tile around the pool is VERY slippery when wet, to the point where we purchased an outdoor mat to use (and let at the home) as my husband fell on day 1. The jacuzzi smelled heavily of mildew, my husband said an old gym locker room. When asked host about it, we were instructed to where to find chemicals and how to shock the water ourselves, which we did, but I did not feel comfortable getting in myself. I did request the pool maintenance person check on it when he came for the weekly service. The outdoor space overall was wonderful. Lots of area to spread out, nice sitting areas, sandbox, some grassy areas to play. No lighter or matches to start the fire pit, and the grill also did not work. All of these things should be taken care of, and in working order, before guests arrive.
Back to the inside...being in a fully furnished home, I would have expected some additional basic kitchen items. There were no measuring cups or baking sheets (though there is an oven). Not a huge problem, just a watch out for next guests. The rugs in the house all need a good cleaning. The furnace filter was so dirty (vent is visible in hallway wall) that my husband felt we needed to notify the host. She thanked us, and asked us to change the filter, telling us where to find one (my husband works in heating & cooling). Now the real problem...
We were told not to flush used toilet paper down the toilet. YES, you read that right. When I was texted on night #1 with this information, I was shocked. There were signs posted in the bathrooms regarding not to flush feminine hygiene products etc (like at many public restrooms). I responded to the text to make sure she was in fact going beyond that in her request. Yep, all used toilet paper was to be thrown away in the garbage cans. We are not fancy by any means, we go rustic camping, we do not have super high expectations. Between the nightly cost, the fees, and the additional we paid to have the pool heated, we paid over $500 a night to stay at a place we could not use the bathrooms normally. Had we known this prior to booking - which should absolutely be in the description - we would not have booked.
