2/10 Terrible

Carolyn L.

Liked: Cleanliness
One of my worst interactions with a host yet. I do not recommend staying here.
Things started out smoothly enough, but it quickly degenerated into a terrible experience. I included the fact that I was going to be having family over for a family get-together in the reservation. During the check-in process, I let the host know that one of my family members was bringing out their bbq pit. The host seemed to have no problem with that. The ac went out (in August), and some of my family members are familiar with the HVAC industry. They pulled out the filter to show me how dirty and gross it was, and the ac unit in the house had completely frozen up. The outside unit was completely enclosed in a small fence, so there was very little air circulation for the unit to operate properly. Bringing this to the attention of the host invited him to reign down his fury upon me for having so many people at his place (I had 30 people total). After going back and forth via text, the host and his wife let us know they were on their way to take a look at things. I won't continue with this story, because there is a lot that I'm having to leave out because so much happened. We ended up leaving because the host and his wife were very argumentative and were unwilling to have a civil conversation. The host followed me from room to room while I packed to berate me on being such a terrible guest. He was a large man, and used his size and booming voice to bully us around while we packed to leave.

Delightful place with many nice features
If you want rest and have nice bonding experience with friends and family, book your stay here. The grounds offer a nice pond to go kayaking nature walk with beautiful views all around. The cabin is very nice & confortable. We will probably come back
