Just want to start off by saying we are pretty low maintenance and laid back. We were excited to stay here for our last night in California before returning home since the pictures looked nice and the place and host got really good reviews. Once we arrived we were a little disappointed and felt like we could've had a much better stay at a hotel for probably less or the same amount as the price for this place. We stayed in the Paris room. The bed is extremely hard and super uncomfortable and it has some kind of hump in the middle, we both woke up with a sore back the next day. There is no AC in the room just a fan so if you're there on a hot day like we were you will be hot. There is a coffee maker in the room but you have to bring your own coffee, creme ect. There is no view of the backyard from this room just an FYI. We weren't able to flush any toilet paper ect in the toilet, it all has to be placed in the barrel. The size of the room and bathroom(private) is overall ok. The linens and towels didn't seem too fresh. The view from the backyard is really nice. However, when we got there the pool was dirty and the pool guy didn't come until around 3ish almost 4pm and we checked in at almost 2pm and had horseback riding plans for 5. The hot tub was cold. At night don't expect it to look like the pictures. The pool light wasn't turned on for us, neither was the fireplace all we got was the view lol. The host was ok. His sign in the room states he treats his guest like family, we didn't get that vibe. We found it a bit strange, he said he wouldn't be there at the time of check in but he was which isn't a big deal but he waited until we were a little lost in finding our room to give us some direction. We were going off the directions he had texted to us. We drove a few hours to get to his place so who knows maybe our tiredness didn't help in us coming off as being too approachable. We had a roof over our heads for the night so for that we were grateful but chances are we wouldn't stay here again. The next time we will for sure stay in a hotel. This is just an honest review about our stay and is in no way bashing the place or the host. We felt like the previous reviews from other guests ended up being a let down.
