Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Tracey H. 27 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### HOT Thankfully we stayed early June because I can not imagine how hot it gets in this place. They have cooling units in the bedrooms and living room, but if you try to run all of them, it blows a breaker. The host said they've never had this issue, but not sure how because you literally can't run all units. The breaker had to be reset four times before we gave up and just turned the two smaller bedrooms off completely. Doing so was fine because we weren't using those rooms, BUT it made the rest of the house HOT. We had planned to mostly stay at the place and enjoy some peace and quiet, but it was so warm in there that it was not enjoyable. The pond was very nice, the place has been redone nicely and the bed was very cozy. ##### Tracey H. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Maridy M. 1 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Location, listing accuracy #### Double wide on a lily pad pond The inside of this property was very clean and comfortable. The concern came driving through the trailer park to get to it. We never felt unsafe, but it was not expected. The water smelled horrendous, it was not drinkable and we took minimal showers to avoid the sewage smell. On top of that, we had already had issues about trying to "modify" our reservation by one night and the host said we couldn't do that..."it had to be a 2 night minimum" which it was three to begin with. Then she came back with "we don't check in or out people on Saturday". I asked her to send me that written in the policy and she did not respond. I could not cancel so I had to pay for a night no one was staying there due to flight changes. All this being said, there were not many options in this area that we needed to be in. The "cottage" was clean and comfortable if you can get past the odor of the water. ##### Maridy M. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shawna D. 16 Jun 2025 ##### Shawna D.
