We had a decent stay at Rachelle's place. The biggest issue we faced was that there were a number of things that weren't mentioned in the listing, and they surprised us. The biggest ones were:
1. Non-potable water running through the house, although potable water is provided.
2. The instructions over the sink were for us to clean the entire house before we left including scrubbing the windows and floor trim, dusting, sanitizing the bathroom, etc. - we happily cleaned up after ourselves and left the place as clean as we found it, but the expectation to do a full house cleaning is a little extraneous. I'm not interested in paying my host to be their cleaning service, not to mention that we paid a cleaning fee! It also made us question if the house is cleaned by the host in between guests, or if she relies on the previous guests to have done it.
3. You are required to take all of your trash with you and to take it to the transfer station (garbage dump) yourself.
4. The distance from the road is misleading. Even a map program is inaccurate, as the last unpaved road only allows you to travel 25mph, so it is about 15 minutes to the main road from the house, and 20-30 minutes to the Volcanoes National Park.
Also, the location of this house is a place where mold is common, easy to manage, and usually not a big deal. Unfortunately, we accidentally slept under a moldy blanket that hadn't been stored properly and ended up with sinus infections that cost us 2.5 days of our trip. Probably not a good place for people with mold allergies.
The instructions for the solar system were minimal and the readout for the solar was blacked out, which made us feel nervous about using any electricity. The other issue we encountered was that when we used the shower, if we turned the cold water up too high, the on-demand water heater shut off, which left us with either very hot water or very cold water, even when we turned the temperature down on the heater. Most of the dishes are clean and usable, but there was one pot we passed on using because it was... questionable. So all in all, not a bad place to stay, and the house itself is very nice, as well as the yard, but just not what we were expecting and probably not what we would've chosen if we had known everything that came with it.
