We recently stayed with a group in this AirBnB and had an overall good stay but wouldn't recommend it to others and a few things that could be improved.
The Good:
- The firepit was incredible and had more outdoor furniture than in the photos
- Check-in with the digital (wireless?) keypads was really easy
- This place is stocked really well - one of the best I've seen - kitchen stuff, games, laundry supplies, towels etc.
- Host left s'more supplies and a bottle of wine in a gift basket at check-in in the kitchen. We enjoyed that :)
- Other than check-in (below) host communication was really fast & instructions for check-in/ check-out were good
The Bad:
- Host didn't inform us ahead of time there would be a septic tank repair crew working. The crew informed us the septic tank/drainfield wasn't working and a sewage truck would arrive shortly to pump out the septic tank. The host did refund $404 of the $2,938 we paid for three nights (we accepted and thank you). We showed up about 1 hour after the 4pm check-in time to find this.
- We had asked about an early check-in but never heard back about it, a minor inconvenience.
- The smell came back on the last day, but these things happen when there's a broken septic tank
- The driveway is a deathtrap. Not the host's fault, but it's steep, not paved well, and turns out into a high-speed turn on the highway.
- The professional-looking photos are a little misleading. The spaces are smaller than they appear in the photos and the unit is a little more run-down than in the sparkly well-lit professional-looking photos. Overall it was perfectly clean but looks like it has seen heavy use a could use another update. We were a little disappointed with the gap between photos and what we saw.
- The dishwasher works but falls 1/4 way out of the cabinet when you open it because it's not attached to anything
- The Kitchen is smaller than anticipated (even with the photo showing it). It would have been difficult to prepare a meal for a large group. We mostly ate out.
- There is a rotten/saggy spot in the floor of the bungalow right when you step in the front door. We didn't remove the area rug covering it to investigate.
Overall for the 1k/night we paid (not including the refund), it wasn't a very good value.
