Thank you Very much for choosing us to stay with. We have done so many updates. We would like to extend a 10 discount to you for another stay. We loved having you . I would definitely recommend you to another. Thank you Again!
My boyfriend and I brought our kiddo on a weekend vacay before she starts school again and she absolutely loved it! The loft was perfect for her and we brought some of her stuffed animals so she could have her own fort. The pool was perfect, the cottage was perfect and the hosts were perfect. Couldn’t ask for anyone better! They definitely made us feel so welcomed and gifted our sweet girl some things. Will definitely be back!

Thank you! You guys were Excellent guests. You left tge place as you found it no damages
You went above amd beyond. I am so happy your daughter loved the Loft!! Wish all guests were like you! It was such a pleasure having you and your family. I would definitely recommend you all if anybody asks!! Thank you for your kind words. See you all again.
First off, casi is so sweet and so accommodating. I was by myself and had no car and she made sure I had anything I needed. Taking me into town, her daughter brought out French toast. And I love her animals.
This is not just your normal ab&b. She goes all out to make sure you can completely relax. The view of the lake is breathtaking. And if you don’t like being outdoors a lot she has a huge tv in the cabin with all the streaming channels. I will for sure stay again if I’m back in the area.

EXTREMELY AMAZING GUEST. LOVED HAVING HER. 0LACE WELL KEPT. FOLLOWED ALL HOUSE RULES KEPT IT CLEAN. POLITE FUNNY!! DEFINITELY RECOMMEND.
Was nice. Some confusion about the use of in-home bathroom (as there is no shower in tiny home). Noted to not swim in pond d/t snakes but there were also small alligators. Overall, it was quite enjoyable and peaceful. Says it can sleep 4 but would only sleep 2 comfortably and maybe a small child in the "loft," but I couldn't even look into the loft as there was no apparent latter to get up to it. Tiny home is in back yard of the large family home (a little closer than I expected).

Thank you for your comments, they are greatly appreciated. All are reviewed for improvements. I have stated that the loft is only for small children. sorry you didn't see the small ladder behind the trash can. It is a good idea for me to state to guests that a larger ladder is available. We will include that in the new upcoming, and revised guest manual. We try to make all guests feel at home. Please let us know how we can make your next stay better for you. Sorry if we weren't clear. We do offer a walk through for better understanding of usage of the property. Your family were great guests to have, and we thank you. please accept a 10% off your next stay (1 coupon per stay). Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
Bob and Casi
The great getaway of rest, relaxation and romance.
Property was beautiful, lovely, clean and peaceful. Casi and Bob were wonderful hosts. It was nice being welcome with a big iced pitcher of fresh lemonade. The Cottage and pool were totally private. Casi was very attentive. My husband and I was in need of nothing. Everything was supplied. Sitting on the deck was very tranquil as gazing out onto the lake and the treed senecery. The late evening dips in the private pool was totally awesome. The poolside grilling and prep area was a nice touch. We will be going back. Bob and Casi, thank you for everything, including the introduction of and to your beautiful property as you welcome us and our fur baby Dayna.

Amazing guests, sorry my review didn't post. Would love to have them back any time. Definitely great guests polite and kept place clean and left it that way.
The host and her family were very nice, however, the shed and the accommodations were the worst ever. Sleeping in a tent would have been safer and more comfortable. Here’s why:
It’s listed as 2 bedroom/1 bath TOTAL LIE!!
There were live electrical cords in everywhere.
First air bed deflated in the middle of the night.
The other air bed took up the whole floor.
The toilet is bucket with a seat.
We were suppose to dump our urine/poop.
There were 7 dogs/2 cats, I got bit up by fleas.
They did yard work on our only Saturday there.
Shower/toilet in front of owner home, thru foyer, down hall, through an office to bath.
Shower is trailer size/no water pressure/ran out of hot water.
Large dog poop on shower mat, owner picked it up threw in toilet (clogged it) left the mat there.
Loud argument when using the real toilet.
Bags of smelly trash loaded on trailer for 4+ days.
Water leak in main house, foyer area, we walk thru.
Save your money, sleep in your car!!

I disagree with this review. I have my house and my cottage fumigation cleaned to the upmost. I have my couches and any upholstry shampooed and carpet after eat use. If there is time between stays I with do a touch up. I make sure there are no flees. Now when it comes to the outside bugs can't helped thelat. I am in the woods. As far as the rooms. I have my listing very detailed starting it is a 2 bedroom but the bedroom/living area there is a sofa bed to sleep on and the 2nd bedroom is for little kids only or can be used for storage. It's a kids loft. And the listing goes into to derail staying what and how it can be used. I told the customer this when she booked. She originally booked it for one person then wanted to change it for 3 people. I accommodated her. And specified that she can use either a blow up mattress and other substitutions. I offered to go to the store to make her happy. She was quite content and decided to move forward with this booking and complimentary means I gave her. I offered snacks and drinks and much more. Never did she complain during her stay. I asked everyday. I cooked them food. Went to the store for them. She stayed her full time. During her stay we did do cleanup tried to stay out of her area. 8 have to maintain 32 acres and with the weather the way it was the grass gross fast. So mowing the grass is a necessity. It has to be done to maintain nats and other annoying bugs. Trash on trailer was there for 1 day period. Then taken to the dump. I gave the customer 10% off for the water leak that just happened in my half a million dollar home. So very sorry for the inconvenience. I do apologize. You never know when this will happen. But it did and it made her unhappy. The dog got through the gates that is true and left a mess on one of the carpets also this is why she got partial a refund. The carpet was not left behind. We have a closet in that bathroom which houses supplies and has a 80 gallon water heater and a "nevercold" system. My bathroom is connected to my office. And that is a regular size shower. It is not a trailer size shower/tub. Its a small bathroom. With a private toilet sitting area and door in the bathroom. I have a 3000 square foot home. Not everybodys bathroom is huge. So my husband put the replacement carpet there and then took the old one out. I can appreciate the fact some people may not agree with a review or may not agree with my response. But to set the record straight on both ends we do have that option. And I appreciate the opportunity and am sorry she felt this way. But a customer who is that unhappy. Has the option to leave and not keep excepting my offerings and telling me they are having a great time. And I am a great host. As I am taking pictures with there camera and going to the store for them and then ask me for a refund. Also I do not allow at all WHETHER PERSCRIBED OR NOT ILLEGAL DRUGS ON MY PROPERTY. IT STATES THAT. Especially when. You sneak it. If it was perscribed then you ask put of respect. But hiding it tells me something else especially since I didn't see a prescription.
