First the good.. it’s pristine (almost too pristine-you are scared to touch or mess up anything-I’ll get to that later) it’s beautifully decorated and thoughtfully designed. It’s location is ideal for anyone wanting to walk to bars and restaurants (even though you can drive just as easily and save yourself the trouble of getting up and down the very steep driveway)… Host does go above and beyond what is asked of her. That being said, she does have two cameras (one by where you park and one by the carport to watch the bears) not sure why she didn’t mention it in the listing… also, upon arriving she quickly said she charges for a 3rd person (which I had forgot to add to the listing (and apologized it was a last minute addition and sent her money right away for the extra person)
Speaking of extra person, the pull out sofa wasn’t anything to go bragging about. It was a thin eggshell topper and you could easily feel the line between the two sofas while sleeping. You had to position yourself either on one side of the crack or the other. I would recommend if you do have a 3rd person, find a place that has a true mattress bed or better sleep sofa.
Fast forward to check out.. not 15 mins after I checked out I got a message stating “this is why I ask for extra money for an extra person— we were not able to get this stain out of the towel (again white towel) with a picture of the towel) she implies it was because of my extra person when it was my hair dye from my own towel.. thought that was presumptive to assume… Anyways.. I’m not sure how hard she tried to get it out in such a short time, two.. I paid her for the towel.. and told her I completely understand.. time is money.. not a big deal.. but.. it was the way she approached me stating it’s all because I had an extra person. Almost like she was fixated on this extra person even though I paid extra for her upon arriving as she didn’t even ask for the money. I did it to make things right. Just seemed off putting for such a kind, cheerful person and wonderfully thought out Airbnb.
Well.. moral of the story. Yes, this place is fabulous so are the hosts.. but walk very carefully on eggshells and do not leave a mark on their Smithsonian like rental. You will be responsible for it. However, I would recommend this rental to friends and family.. I just personally wouldn’t stay here again in fear of messing something up by accident. The good are really good.. for most.. it will outweigh the minimal bad..
