I dont feel like this stay deserves 4 stars. We wanted the camper thought they were being nice with an "upgrade" but upon arriving you could tell it was cus it needed dug out turned on and alot of work. Opon investigation it turned out the guest house was 400 a night. We got it for the price of the camper but,when my husband had to join i was surprised when i arrived a 45$ Charge. He only took 40 but it was a surprise. The amount of hidden fees and charges are insane. The rules are just too much. This house is much smaller than it appears and not near as "fancy" or clean. I Understand mice happen but having poop on ever single dish is not cleaning. Upon reservation you will recive an email for a 300$ deposit. You will have to pay 100/a day for the pool and 50/day for the hottub. To do farm chores its also a wallet breaker. This listings hidden fees and way too many automated messages made this a 3 star. They were kind. easy to work with, but I would not recommend. 4 stars for kindness
