Lori was nice enough to let us drop off our luggage early, which is always appreciated. She also expressed that cleanliness was a priority due to covid, which we appreciated and found the place perfectly clean upon check in for our 5 night stay.
We were surprised by how small the cabin actually was, and found the ‘sofa bed’ too uncomfortable to actually sleep on. My friend and I ended up sharing the loft bed and we’re not a couple. Not a good idea to book here for more than a single guest or for anyone over 5’6” (low ceilings.)
We were also disappointed to have no access to the hot tub when that was explicitly mentioned in the listing. It is on the deck of the main
house and looks like it hadn’t been used in quite some time. We were basically just told no, we can’t use it. Even if it were available, I think I would have felt weird using it since there were a number of teenage boys on the property and a younger adult male roommate. They kept to themselves, but I can imagine that would have been awkward for everyone. Didn’t even see a fire pit which was also in the listing when I booked.
Also, make note of this listing’s “quiet hours” which I took to mean guests are expected to be quiet after this time… but apparently means the kids will sit on the deck/yard until 10 or 11pm to play and talk excitedly with one another. On days where we had to get up early, I had to request them to quiet down around 9:30, which thankfully our hosts obliged.
Loved the quiet neighborhood where you can walk in pretty much any direction and find a street lined with stores/restaurants and we absolutely loved the friendly pets.
All in all, we felt safe but like we overpaid for our stay. We think the hosts should drop prices or add more value.
