We booked Sam’s place for my 5 year old’s birthday weekend with family (and a trip to the zoo!). The kids just loved this house. It’s definitely interest decor but adults are way more phased by the costumes on the ceiling. The kids thought it was awesome. It’s super nice to be able to stay in a dog friendly place as well that was clean. There were dog amenities like a large crate and dog bowls.
For family with kids I would recommend bringing some plastic dishes. The dishwater is all glass but it IS heavy, so we weren’t worried so much about the kids breaking them, but the younger kids had trouble lifting the plates haha. Since there’s not really a dining area, just the two seater, the kids actually did need to be able to pick them up/ hold them in their laps.
We also really appreciated the low key check out process, no huge long list of things to do before checkout like many places. Sam was also super responsive and helpful! We definitely plan to check out the pirate house next!
