Lovely property but little privacy
I stayed at this home with my fiancée, just the two of us and our dog, for 1 night.
Pros: the property is large and nice to stroll around with our dog. We saw the alpacas and baby cows, though they were wary and didn't come too close to the fence. The owners were delightful and helpful. This would be a fun place to let kids run around in the summer.
Cons: there are 3 or 4 houses on the property, and they're VERY close together. The first thing we did was close all the curtains. The amenities, such as the hot tub, the hammock, fire pit, are out on the property for use by anybody staying in any of the houses. I booked this property imagining a private hot tub for my fiancée and me, but we didn't want to use it since it was in view of so many windows. We could hear our neighbors using it from inside our house.
Speaking of the house, it was comfortable enough, but sort of awkward, as it was clearly converted from a barn, then stuffed with beds. There are beds for 8 people, yes, but sharing the one bathroom on the bottom floor would be difficult with 8 people. Additionally, the only door on this bathroom is a sliding barn door, so there are gaps through which sights/sounds/smells can escape. The listing mentions a 2nd bathroom which I did not find, unless it means the bathrooms over by the hot tub, accessible from the outside. Also, the bottom floor is open - two queen beds and the kitchen, but no doors. Just a partial wall to block direct line of sight between the beds.
