My 24 year old son and I stayed here while my husband was receiving medical treatment in the area. This a beautiful home. The pictures are exactly what we experienced. Very clean, well appointed and had everything we needed for our stay.

This property is a house split in half. Separated by a bookshelf placed in a doorway. The other occupants can be heard easily. No privacy. Other occupants have full access to your side of the property and pass just feet from your bedroom window to use the “private” creek access. Which we were unable to use because the other side of the house had a party of 20 people going back and forth between the creek and house. No privacy on the patio. Couldn’t access the “hot tub” which is a slimy nasty pool of still water. Hairs from prior guests found everywhere. Eww. Drawers, bedsheets, towels, floor, shower. Everywhere. Dirty floor. Couldn’t walk barefoot. Just overall very disappointed and would not recommend. Wanted a quiet weekend with my husband and go fishing by the private creek that was advertised in this listing. Also… was looking forward to sleeping in. Instead had landscapers outside my bedroom window @6:45. They remained there all day. I had to have all my blinds closed and felt trapped inside all day. Violated.
