Mixed review
My friend & I decided to stay here. When we first arrived, Deb was standing outside waiting for us which I felt was a little strange, but was okay with it. She greeted us and immediately asked me why I had brought another person as she thought it was going to be just me. I asked if it was an extra cost for 1 more person, she said no, so I was confused why she seemed upset. She then showed us how to use the keypad to the basement. It was self explanatory, but Deb thoroughly explained how to use it.
When we got inside, it was cute & bright. Just like the pictures. She then stayed and explained how to use/find everything from the tv to a humongous quantity of blankets and comforters. This place has so many amenities and decorations. It was a bit much but we worked with it.
After she was done explaining everything I thought she go, but she said she had to say one more thing. She went on the explain that she was very upset that I had messaged her on the app around 12:30 pm (I had just gotten off work & noticed I had an Airbnb message); She asked what time I would be arriving so I messaged her back not thinking anything of it. Anyway she said it had made her really upset and then told us a tragic story about a member of her family. In great detail... which I won't say for the sake of her privacy. She said I shouldn't contact her at that time again. I said I wouldn't but it didn't seem to make any difference as she continued to cry and tell us more about what happened. My friend and I told her that we were sorry for her loss. The story made us uncomfortable and confused as to why she told us this. I feel maybe it would've been a topic to discuss with a counselor, not her Airbnb guests. Ruined the vibe of staying there.
Finally she gave us our privacy. We enjoyed having the tv in front of the bed. It was nice to have a microwave and fridge as we went to buy some groceries. The house is just down the road from Walmart, Sam's Club & a few gas stations, so this was a great location.
If you smoke, do not stay here. She made an exception for my friend, saying she could smoke at the end of the driveway, but I guess she was a few feet off, so I got a message the second day from Deb saying, "Can I please knock on the door, I need to talk to you." She then said my friend was a bit off to where she told her she could smoke, and said if I'm responsible for her as I'm the main guest, which I said yes and I'm sorry but, again, no matter what I said it didn't seem I was heard. So if you smoke, find another listing.
Overall the physical stay was nice. But dealing with Deb was a nightmare. We felt we had very little privacy & Deb was so overbearing it was overwhelming. I wouldn't stay here again. Most of her reviews seem to be good, but if you break any rules, be prepared to receive an earful.
