Beautiful Location but Property Needs a Facelift
The photos of this property are misleading and I am dumbfounded by the glowing reviews. Our stay was not pleasant. The building is rundown and so completely cluttered that there is not a single place to sit in the common room without removing items and searching for a working light fixture. We were told that this one didn’t work and that one didn’t work. Our bedroom was likewise so cluttered that it was uncomfortable just to be in the room. Every surface is covered with a display of Knick-knacks. When you sit on the small sofa in the room you sink nearly to the floor. The bathroom tap leaked and there were brown stains in the sink. The walls were bizarrely covered with vintage women’s underwear, handbags and hats. The bed was so high from the ground that I could barely get into it and the mattress so soft that my husband and I collided in the center all night. We found the TV on the floor of the armoire—ground level. There was no place to sit to watch television if we had wanted to. We tried to sit on the front porch to read but there was not a comfortable chair in sight. The floor boards sagged and parts of the steps were splintering. The overall impression was one of neglect on the outside and overdecorating on the inside. Breakfast was minimal. I say this with sadness because the property owners couldn’t have been nicer. They were friendly, conversational and truly enthusiastic about sharing their home.
