Having read so many positive reviews of this place, I was let down by our experience here.
The cons:
-First off, the property was listed as sleeping 4 (2 queens, 2 single beds, and a couch are listed in the add) when in fact there is 1 queen bed and 1 rollaway in the whole house. When I asked about this, the owner said it was a mistake in the listing. No offer to reimburse us for some of the expense/fees for a listing that wasn’t accurate. We would not have paid this much knowing the bed situation, but it was obviously too late to get our money back by the time we found this out.
-When we walked into the house, we noticed old dog hair on the wood floor (especially in the corners/by the wall).
-While the yard was listed as being a shared space, we came to find the other guests’ dog poop was everywhere in the yard. The guests down the hill asked us to take our dog inside so they could have the yard to themselves and their dogs.
-The bath was a bit of a safety hazard to get in and out of, and the handheld shower was too short for taller people to effectively use without crouching or sitting down in the tub.
The pros:
-The WiFi was strong and we had no issues with connection, even working on laptops outside.
-This place has AC and fans throughout! It was so nice in the heat, and a welcome surprise as it was not listed in the amenities.
-The yard is beautiful and the property expansive. Other than the few issues with the yard I listed above (dog poop and fencing), our dog loved running around in it and playing fetch. The grass was recently mown and the yard obviously well-tended to.
-The kitchen is fully furnished and has great (Viking) appliances! Would be convenient for a longer stay/wanting to do basic cooking.
Overall, the location was convenient, but even at a discounted price (due to late booking) we didn’t feel we got what we paid for (sleeping arrangements and yard).
