My mom and I were traveling with my two dogs and stayed here for 3 nights. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The place is beautiful and relaxing. The hosts offer many touches and conveniences that are very appreciated, like basic cleaning supplies, toilet paper, paper towels, hand soap, dish soap, and even a basic first aid kit. The place was clean, the beds were comfortable, and the water pressure was good.
We did have a few issues/items that I would have liked to know so sharing here. Overall, they did not disturb our stay more than little inconveniences/items to note. We would definitely stay here again.
We had a hard time finding the place. GPS took us to the right area, but you cannot see the house from the road and there were no markings on the mailbox. Come to find out after talking with the property manager, the mailbox cover that has the number was missing and he is planning to have it replaced. It was very easy to reach the owner and property manager to get quick resolution to this.
There are lots of "slip/trip" hazards. The driveway is relatively steep and gravel (and leaves due to time of year) so your footing wasn't completing solid. Most of the cement (steps/porch) are not flush with the ground. Inside the front door, there is a small step up (maybe an inch or two) in between the living room and admitted sitting area. We had no issues and never fell, but we were very cautious.
We had issues with the front door lock. The first time we opened it, it worked like a charm. After that, we could never get it to work again. The owner had a work around so it was fine, but again, just annoying. I also acknowledge it could have been operator error because I wasn't familiar with the specific lock brand, but I've used electronic locks for decades and don't usually have a problem.
We could not get the heat to work. After trouble with the lock, I was starting to question myself! Lol But after talking with the property manager, we found out it may have been an empty propane tank. There were tons of blankets available and a couple portable space heaters so we survived. I also didn't reach out to the property manager until we left so maybe it could have been resolved during our stay if I had. But it wasn't bad until the last morning when we woke up and it was 58° inside!
Finally, there were more than a couple fruit flies even though we were very cautious to keep food wrapped up or in the fridge. I understand this is an issue in the area.
