I want to start this by saying the hosts are very nice people and kept to themselves besides the first welcome. Overall the place is beautiful and well kept. There was a bundle of wood for the fire pit left for us so that was thoughtful. My honest review so take it for what it is.
I specifically chose this pace because of the hot tub pool area. I messaged the host letting them know I was taking my son. Kids love water so a hot tub in the winter is ideal. When we got there the hot tub was cold and not cleaned. I asked to turn it on and after a few attempts (it was the evening) I was messaged that they would turn it on. Well by the time it warmed up it was too late to really enjoy the first night and even then the water was warm, not even close to hot. Daily we had to request them turn it on and were limited to the times. The second to last day they explained it was costly to heat all the time so we needed time blocks. That is understandable but the problem still was the time it took to heat up (not even 90 degrees), dirty and waiting on responses if and when it would be done. Again the host was super nice though. This was very disappointing as I would have been willing to pay extra to heat the hot tub properly. I would not have booked knowing you couldn’t really utilize what was advertised.
The advertising said basketball hoop yet had to buy a ball. Expensive cars parked in the playing area wasn’t that big of a deal as they were nice to move one. Was not too thrilled the kids were scolded at how much the paint jobs cost on the vehicles when they were trying to play basketball.
House TV only has an Apple TV. Not an issue but we asked where the remote is and never got a response. Trying to watch any bowl game was ridiculous. Luckily we were apple users and could access from our phones as remotes.
One of the bedroom patio doors never locked. There is a daycare directly behind the guest house so sleeping in during the week is a challenge.
Super nice dog on the property! Would have been nice to know this and the name before it entered the guest house to say hi.
Overall it’s a beautiful setting with ample space and could see how summer days would be amazing. Disappointed in what amenities we got for the price as it would have been fabulous to really enjoy that backyard. A little in disbelief as the host were so kind when interacting.
