Overall, our seventeen-day stay was pleasant in this spacious guest house. The shower featured good water pressure with both overhead and wall jets, and the redwood spa was wonderful. The stackable washer and dryer worked beautifully and the kitchen aid stand up mixer was a great addition. Plus, host Dave was very nice and responsive to requests or questions. There is also a small group of charming chickens (and one rooster) who love watermelon!
We do feel that—like other AirBnB locales that have operated for an extended period—the site suffers a bit from lack of downtime for needed maintenance and accurate new photos should be posted. For example, the place would benefit from a fresh coat of paint, a full set of silverware (e.g., there are only a few tablespoons and one teaspoon), and some decent food storage containers. There is neither an icemaker nor ice trays. The internet is spotty, making it difficult to watch streaming TV or work on the laptop and no dresser of any size is available for clothes.
Lastly, the large pool was great at first; however, even though there is an automatic underwater cleaner that travels around, the pool became quite dirty. As a result, we decided to sadly stay out of it during the last half of our seventeen-day stay.
