Let me begin by saying, the A-Frame in the woods is absolutely gorgeous. Anyone can benefit from the quiet, semi-secluded home in the woods. Though it was fall and the path that circles the house was covered, it only adds to the beauty of taking sunrise walks on these grounds.
The host, however, takes away from what is otherwise an idyllic scene. We rented the space, four of us, for a end of the year retreat. The first red flag is that we get there and, to our surprise, theres only three beds. Of course, first we verify with the site to make sure the mistake wasnt on our end. Indeed, it wasnt. I texted Anabela, the property owner, and with an unnecesarily combative text she replied thay we only registered for four guests and that an extra room would cost us extra. Confused and unsure why anyone would assume to order extra beds, when the space is advertised as plenty and no communication had stated otherwise in the month since we had booked. I asked, " where should the fourth adult sleep?". For some odd reason she seems to think its acceptable to have only three beds for four adults. She reluctingly gave us a code to a fourth bedroom (or sunroom) that featured two other twin beds -- as if she was doing us a favor.
The most alarming part would come after we left. Let me say, I personally cleaned every inch of the house: washed dishes, swept floors, and readied the bedding for laundry. Trash was disposed and furniture and dishes placed exactly as they were, if not in better condition.
Some hours after our departure I get an accusatory, inflammatory text about drugs being found all over the house and ashes all over the porch. She even dispatched a plumber for a "clogged toilet". I asked for pictures. The clogged toilet didnt show anything and havent heard anything about a plumber still some days after. The story of these drugs, well, apparently none were found in the spotlesd house either. Instead, she sends me a non-descript picture of a cigarrette butt, presumably found on the porch. The porch covered in ashes -- no sign or evidence of that either. She was clear to voice her "disappointment" however. I was alarmed and a bit thrown off by her insistence that "drugs were found around the house" only to be unsubstantiated. Not even a slight smell of marijuana, which has a strong pungent and hard to remove smell.
While I would reccomend the setting to anyone; it appears the homeowner is much too intolerable. Caveat emptor.
