Our experience was a little disappointing compared to others here, but it was still really pleasant.
First the good: Susie was lovely and helpful.
The space itself, though a challenging layout, is adorable. Lots of light and great views and the beds upstairs were crazy comfortable. And the way it is decorated is bright and fun and funky.
I also used the mats that are available to sit on the rubber roof with my coffee in the morning and do some stretches. It was a wonderful way to start the day. It’s like being in s treehouse!
The walk down to JP is so pretty and the town is amazing.
And now the items that were disappointing:
It is super important that you read and RE-read the description of the stairs. The spiral staircases are quite rickety and need some serious attention. Also, I think it would be hard for some people with larger frames to navigate the stairs. My 6’3” husband would have been in bad shape and not sure he would have physically been able to use the stairs (he isn’t overweight, just BIG).
And personally, I would not feel safe with smaller children being at the top of the stairs unsupervised because there is no railing on either side to block the straight drop down.
Also, if you need to go the bathroom all night like I do (thanks, pregnancies) then stay upstairs!
I loved having coffee and cream in the morning (I may have wiped out her coffee supply). And it is a really nice touch to have breakfast items too, but there was a problem with freshness as cereal boxes had been left open and so were not edible. There was also a freshness issue with one of the jams (but I just scraped it off and ate it anyway).
The upstairs was sparkling clean (the bathroom and the bedroom) but downstairs seemed to have been kinda given a lick and a promise (as my southern grandmother used to say.) It was quite dusty (especially the fan). The decor was adorable tho.
I was also surprised with the curbside appeal when I arrived.
The pictures of the front porch were darling, but in reality the front porch had a lot of items on it that made it look unclean and not well cared for. Same for the backyard.
But the dogs...the dogs were pure perfection.
