The barn is the real deal, not an pre-fab imitation. I loved seeing the horses run in the mornings. Great view to wake up to. When you drive around you can just hear nature singing the next country song. Great host!!! ##### Stephen C. Stayed 30 nights in Mar 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Julie R. 5 Oct 2021 Liked: Communication Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Three main issues I experienced three main issues with the unit: 1) The lack of cleanliness of the unit: There were spots/stains on the three throw rugs. Drawers in the kitchen and bathroom were not clean; located receipts/product tags and old napkins in the drawers in the kitchen; located product manuals and used products, like used tooth paste, in the bathroom drawers. The bathroom counter and drawers had products, so I did not have much room for my own products. The fridge was not completely clean with food residue and left over products in it. The mattress was stained and dirty; however, I did not discover this until later within the stay after I went to urgent care. I expected higher cleanliness, especially during COVID-19 as indicated on the profile. 2) The unit did not contain items listed in the profile: It did not have a hair dryer; when I inquired; I was told to buy one and he would reimbursement me (he did reimbursement me); it was inconvenient though as it was about 20 miles out of my way to get to a Walmart (about 10 miles each way); no blender in the unit and had to ask for one; no grill part of unit; when I inquired I was told it was part of the main house patio and I could move it over. Overall, there was a lack of convenience; did not go out of the way to make my stay enjoyable. 3) Lack of functioning items: One of the plugs in the two bathroom sinks did not work. I left early due to the above issues with property. The owner was rude; he said, "You've been a high maintenance pain in the ass." He offered me some "free advice" which was to read "The Power of Now" and A New Earth Awakening to Your Life's Purpose." He also said I was "self absorbed" in a text. ##### Julie R.
