Was not as advertised. There appeared to be a caretaker of some sort staying there. There were personal belongings in the cupboards that suggest someone living there long-term rather than a guest, like personal effects, recipes ... can't tell you more b/c it felt like snooping (?). If it was a guest, there really wasn't any reason to have non-related people sharing that much space w/out being clear about that in the listing and clear about what you can and can't do in the house. If it was a caretaker, they got wasted, came crashing home at 4 A.M., waking me, and then spent the entire day sleeping (snoring through the house from the downstairs bedroom door, still going strong at 8:00 A.M. in the morning, crashed on the "living room" couch at noon, asleep and snoring w/ the bedroom door open at 5 P.M.) It wasn't clear what were and weren't common areas. There was no check-in or check-out and no one really checking on you. Coffee service upstairs had nothing besides the coffee and a single packet of Stevia, and I wasn't sure if I was allowed to use the kitchen to make breakfast, etc. That area seemed to be for the downstairs person, whomever they were. The property was run down, the restaurant in the listing didn't exist, there was debris all over the property, the restroom was a bit beat up, and I left after the first night, basically paying over $200 for a single night's stay. Asked what they could do to make it right, but no response after 3 weeks and with no action taken, this is my review.

The location, unique home, privacy

No microwave

Location itself isn't too far from town. The home as a whole is cute.

I was unaware it was a shared space until further reading. This could be clarified better. The guest suite bathroom was not in the room and was used as a shared space. The bathroom was not cleaned well, the shower rug was visibly dirty, and the shower itself looked like the guests we shared the house with had used it recently. The outside/private entrance door didn't have a covering or way to be private (built-in blinds would resolve this). The location itself is very woodsy, which overall is great except for the amount and size of the bugs (not anything that can be changed).
