This is a very unique, eccentric property conveniently located near major attractions. The backyard overlooks the highway, which isn’t displayed in the listing. This creates some highway noise and distracts from the peaceful view that’s advertised.
During our stay, we had some issues with the AC not cooling, bedroom lights coming on/off automatically throughout the night and smoke detectors beeping during the night. The host was responsive to attempt to resolve them, but we had to take time out of our trip to assemble a portable AC unit and fans, pick up a ladder from the store and install new batteries in the smoke detector. The bunk bed was also missing the ladder, so we had to attempt to utilize a step ladder that the host had delivered, which wasn’t the safest option for children.
The home remained uncomfortably hot for most of our trip, even after utilizing fans and a portable AC unit.
The home must have been recently sprayed for pests, as we noticed quite a few dead spiders in most of the rooms upon Checkin. We were thankful they were not alive, but it was still off putting. We also experienced a power outage during our stay.
Overall, this is a fun property for families and we liked the hot tub, pool table and large yard.
Suggestions to prepare for future guests would be to add trash cans and rugs to all bathrooms, solve the AC and automatically timed light issues, install a safe bunk bed ladder and install new batteries in detectors.
While we appreciated the prompt response from the host, these inconveniences took away family time throughout our stay.
