The overall experience at Heather's home was positive until the month of June, when there had been a huge mix-up on double-booking, calendar miscommunications, etc. The house itself is beautiful, but the photos are not as much as in real life. Even though the house is a descent size, there is a lot of clutter around the house, and the main dining table in the living room is constantly filled with paperwork. There is also constantly someone, in addition to the many strangers entering and departing the house, such as contractors and people other than the guests and hosts within the home, because Heather is renovating the house.

Even though I had originally booked my entire summer with Heather, and organized my dates with her since January 2015, it seems that perhaps the calendar organization had a few overlaps and mix-ups, and Heather may require a little extra assistance on managing the property - she was double booked on several occasions. There were just too much headache at the end of the day to swap between schedules and rooms, and at one time, Heather herself tried to enter my room after 11pm, while I was taking a shower.

On a few occasions, I've seen her assistant Joe and Heather enter the rooms of the guests while they are not at home, to access the other parts of the house. I feel that this is a little disconcerting, and perhaps in the future, Heather should implement some sort of lock system for the rooms of her guests to stay in the house. At one time, I had Joe knock on my door on a Sunday morning at 8am, and due to the many people who stay in the house, it seems that sometimes the food in the fridge are also mistakenly thrown away.

Positives:
The location and the house is beautiful and elegant, the pool is great to use and Heather is very friendly. Heather is very accommodating as a host, but a little scatterbrained when there is too much happening. I would suggest that she hires a property manager for the home and her guest calendars.

Negatives:
Sound travels really easily throughout the house, and every time someone enters the alarm system beeps, and if you're staying in either the Master or the Green room, you can hear the guests in the other rooms. There does not seem to much privacy within the bedrooms, as the host has full access to your room when you are not there. There were on several occasions mix-up on rooms.

Overall:
Heather, herself, however, is a great person, and I would interact with her again. I really enjoyed her company, and she has a great dog and cat. I really liked her home, but this summer seems a little hectic to be a guest. I wish her all the best with the rest of the home renovations, and recuperation due to her accident which resulted in her hospitalization.
