we travel a lot and this was one of the worst units we've ever been in.
Pros:

was close to our activity

Cons:

house in state of disrepair. grounds looked like they hadn't been maintained for several years. unit was advertised as having a "private kitchen" - the only kitchen was the one used by other guests and by the owner. The a/c could only be activated by calling the owner. the lock on the front door didn't work. the back entrance could only be reached by way of a deck which had no lighting and loose boards. we left as soon as we could find other accommodations - we did not say overnight.

Welcoming hosts! Wonderful secluded getaway
Pros:

The host (Shawn) was very welcoming and responsive. Even though it was a room in the house, the king one had a private entrance and direct access to the back porch and pool. We were looking for peace and quiet and that room delivered those. In addition to serving us coffee every morning, they were also happy to share treats they had prepared such as juice and snacks. Shawn also ran the pool vacuum to make sure the pool was clean enough for us.

This place needs a public health inspection. I left after one night because of the disgusting state of the kitchen
Pros:

Pleasant host, good location for my purpose.

Cons:

Absolutely shocking state of the kitchen. Room had an awful musty stale smell and was suffocatingly hot and stuffy as well as being dusty everywhere. I asked for central AC to be turned on, but it wasn’t. I slept with all windows and outside door wide open. Grounds in state of disrepair with old and dirty outside furniture, recycling spilling over onto the dead lawn. Christmas decorations still up - a previous review from 2 years ago mentioned these so obviously no notice taken or effort put in to upkeep of property. Kitchen had a sink piled full of old washing up sitting in cold water, greasy pans on the hob, one of which had liquid in it that was growing mould on the surface, the inside of the microwave was filthy, there was a rice cooker on the side with old rice in it and the appliances were all filthy.

Felt comfortable with the stay overall. Pricing was about fair.
Pros:

I liked the owners quite a bit. Was very comfortable in the morning with continental breakfast and would come through with needs.

Cons:

As I told the owner, was disappointed with their water heater taking much too long for hot water to flow. Wasn't entirely happy with their A/C system, but not that bad.

Superb
Pros:

The hotel is located in a quiet neighborhood. The hosts was really friendly and helpful. They provided us with fresh fruits, coffee, milk, etc. Nice facilities with free laundry, a swimming pool, even toothpaste, toothpicks and mouthwash. It was a very enjoyable stay.

Great place to stay for a few days!
Pros:

The house was really nice - not just our room but the whole living/dining/kitchen area. The bed was comfy, the room was large, bathroom was well stocked and had great water pressure. The garden is really pretty with a lovely pool and outdoor area.

Cons:

The pool furniture was quite dusty and hadn't been used for some time. Some cushions would also have been nice, but no big deal. I would have liked to use the hammock but it was too dirty and coated with leaves, cobwebs and berries.

Very good
Pros:

Cute house with a big backyard (great if you have pets), and a very friendly host that will happily make you coffee in the morning and offer you fruits :) the owner lives upstairs and the rental rooms are downstairs. Would make for a great place if you and your friends are traveling as there are multiple rooms available. Room was cute even if a little small, and had a tv with Roku. Thank you for being so welcoming!

Cons:

The backyard could be better taken care of as it is a little more on the wilder side compared to most backyards. But the dogs loved running around and the pool was really nice even though i didn’t have a chance to take a swim.
