Just like in the photos, it's super nice, secluded and minimalist. There are indeed a few small spiders and frogs inside the house, which is to be expected since it's surrounded by nature, but it's still clean. If you arrive at night, it's not easy to get there. The remote control (low battery) and the blind for the projector didn't work in the end. Because of the rain and the cold weather, the water heater is small and doesn't provide enough hot water for a bathtub or the outdoor tub, but it was fine.

The place is just as shown in the photos: a super well-equipped and beautiful place. It's a bit tricky to get to because of the location, but it's SUPER private (just what we were looking for). I have nothing but good things to say about the place and the host (: The best possible service and super-fast responses. Thank you so much for hosting us!!!

Everything was excellent. Communication was always very clear. If you're afraid of animals (insects), there are a lot of them, of course, because it's in the middle of nature, and that's great, but if you're definitely afraid of them, it's best to avoid it. The bathroom flooded, as if the drain was clogged, and all the water spilled out into the entire bathroom. That's why it smelled like a sewer on the last day, I guess because of everything that got wet. But it has all the amenities it says it does, and the service was always excellent. We would definitely come back! Thank you.

Beautiful location, looks like the pictures. The overall esthetic of the house is nice and beautiful garden. However, being in nature you deal with a lot of bugs and spider webs which could have been cleaned better prior to arrival. Sheets were not the cleanest but host did change them out for the second night. Bathroom does have a strong smell since the toilet is not properly sealed and no exterior working vent. Dirt road and very bumpy for those arriving in a lower car. The gate for parking the car is very inconvenient late at night, you have to get off and unlock/ open by hand. Electric fence would be way more convenient and secure. No lights on side where parking is and no sensor light or any lighting in the back end of the property and it’s very dark at night. The house is in a rural neighborhood with ranches around. The place is great a one night stay or quick weekend getaway.
