While Bonnie was showing some effort in making us comfortable, simple things like cleanliness, privacy, and truth in advertising were completely absent. The home and gardens are beautiful, and in the hands of someone who understands what lodgers need, this could be a great place. The listing is very misleading, so beware. The listing says it is a deluxe private two room second floor space with a full bath, and kitchen access. In fact, we were shown to a make-shift space in a former dining room. It had two uncomfortable foam pieces put on top of two 2 fold-out couches pushed together. The room had no privacy. The see-through glass door from our room to the kitchen had no curtain on it. The adjoining room to ours did not have 4 walls, so again, this space has no privacy. The plumber who was installing a shower was told to just walk through our "private" room even though he could have easily gone around to the side door. Another person came walking though to use our "private" bath. It was so frustrating and not at all like the lovely description on Airbnb.
Bonnie was very friendly but did not seem to notice our "private deluxe suite" was nothing of the sort. She never apologized, not once, for charging us a good chunk of change for a place very unlike that which was advertised. We finally told her we could not stay there any longer- it was a waste of our money and we had wanted a romantic get-away- and again never apologized for the false advertising and lack of understanding of the requirements of being a rental property.
