We stayed with Diane as she was able to accommodate our whole family coming in for a local graduation. There are a few quirks to share about her place.
The good: it’s big. Five bedrooms, four of them have multiple beds. The house itself only has two bathrooms, one of which is also the laundry room. The third bathroom is in the pool house. Yes, there’s an indoor pool and hot tub, but it’s separate from the living/sleeping quarters, so I wouldn’t count it as a usable bath. Diane has GREAT toys! Paddle boat, kayaks, pool, spa, trampoline, and fire pit. It’s perfect for enjoying the outdoors.
The bad: We found an empty cigarette pack and dip tin in the house that had been cleaned (we don’t use tobacco). And this is the one that’s really not cool. Guests are told to take all of their trash with them when they check out. Incredibly inconvenient if you’re flying, and I don’t know of any place that it’s legal to dump household trash. I understand it’s expensive for trash removal in rural areas, but that’s part of what you pay for. It added stress the whole time I was there.
The ugly: I didn’t see the other review warning of the dog breeding on site, but if you only know dogs as pets, not livestock, this will break your heart. You’ve been warned.
So averaging all things, we had a genuine mixture of good and bad. I really like Diane, and her husband was also delightful to chat with. However it was not a place I will return to.
