Very comfortable and quiet.

Liked: The hosts were very friendly. They also had practically anything you could need if you forgot anything. Shampoo, toothpaste, cotton swabs, there was a water bowl and water if you bring a dog, there was a safety gate on the deck for small dogs and children, plenty of towels, coffee, continental breakfast. I was very pleased.
Disliked: Couldn't turn the TV on, but that was probably just my inability to figure out the remote.

Comfortable bed but unsanitary presentation...

Liked: Greet by friendly staff (husband). Nice location. Enjoyed the nature setting with trails and creek. Bed was comfortable.
Disliked: Moldy fruit. Milk in refrigerator but was half gone. Would’ve been better to have individual cartons rather than an opened milk jug. I couldn’t drink it cause I was wondering if the person before me might have taken a drink from the jug. Same with the English muffins. They were opened. Don’t know how many other guests may have been touching them before I got there. Rooms did not appear to be cleaned. Dirty floor with hairs. Dirty sink, again, with hair and water marks. Looked like a man was shaving with little whiskers on the sink. Dirty mirror. Door does not lock from outside although area is secluded so I wasn’t too worried. Couldn’t figure out how to lock my room from the inside (overnight) until the last day when owner came to get my credit card information…which was a little weird, too. He needed me to write it down so he could give it to his wife who was in Los Angeles to do the billing. Anyway, I thought I had been locking my room but when I went to pull on the door it opened right up. He showed me that I needed to throw the handle up and then back down before locking. Wish he would’ve shown me that when I checked in. No one would’ve figured that out.

Steer clear!!!

Liked: Location.
Disliked: Where do I begin. This was our second stay, as the location is good and located near the medical center that we utilize when in town. The first time it was adequate and we thought it was a little quirky. However, this stay was different. After Don ( who is very nice) showed us the TV instructions, and talked for a few minutes filling us in, my boyfriend went to use the toilet which was absolutely disgusting. Feces all over the the underside of the seat, on the front rim and side of the toilet, and the seat cover. It clearly hadn't been cleaned since the last guests. There was an open stick of butter in the fridge and 2 Costco muffins with a hairnet over the top of them that she must've got from the bag of them in the bathroom. The queen bed in the kitchen is horribly broke down, and there is leftover shampoos, conditioners and body washes littering the shower/tub from, I assume, previous guests. Granted, this place is stocked with everything you could ever want because these people are hoarders. The yards, walkways, paths and interior are littered with crap. It is not clean or sanitary (and potentially unsafe with broken outdoor furniture) in any way, shape or form. We ended up staying ( I wanted to leave) but my partner had a medical procedure the next morning, and he didn't want to have to go try to find new accomodations that late in the day. When I asked Mary the next day if she would compensate us for 1/2 of the $150 bill, she replied NO, even after admitting that she "only had 1 prior guest without toilet cleaning". How is that acceptable?? Admitting you didn't clean after the last guests? What else wasn't cleaned? I was totally disgusted, and want future guests to know what they're walking into.

Very pleasant.

Liked: The sheer uniqueness of the property and the plethora of knickknacks and yard decoration. It's also in a very pretty setting and feels secluded, though it's close to commerce.
Disliked: Host should provide ice for their guests and a night light in the bathroom would be convenient.

Superb

Passable
