Pros:
Kind, Welcoming Hostess
Clean accommodations
Gorgeous sunset on the river
Cabin part with small livingroom and master bedroom is nice
Quiet location
Pet Friendly
Cons:
Very uncomfortable bed in Master Bedroom (both nights woke up achy in the middle of the night, unable to get comfortable/back to sleep. Achy the next day.)
Extremely low clearance to get into the bus (5 foot opening, max) and to the bathroom (4 foot opening - maybe). I'm 5'9" and needed to bend over at a 90 degree angle to get to the bathroom and could still fell the top frame rub against my back. Getting to the bathroom from the bedroom at 2 AM was almost stressful. ("Watch your head... What your head...")
The top of my head also bumped the bus' ceiling in some places.
Shingling nails were pointing down at my head (no proper ceiling) in one area.
Very narrow walkway in kitchen. No more than 2 feet across. No idea how a couple or a family would get around eachother.
No microwave to warm up leftovers.
Sunroom : Uneven, cracked, broken tiles; Plastic sheeting for a roof; Door latch that requires considerable force to open. Spilled my dinner trying to open it. No way a small child could open it.
Futon mattress on couch has lots of holes and a paint stain.
Shed beside bus with bunk beds and other bathroom: Screen door stays wide open; 2 inch gap under main door where bugs can crawl in; water smelled VERY strongly (showered at the next place)
Firepit: Chairs with no cushions, just metal bars across them
Both picnic tables: paint gone, pieces of wood missing
River: Lots of seaweed. Despite 36 degree heat, neighbours' horses only ones in the river.
This property has TONS of potential. With some investment and TLC, it could be great.
I was really looking forward to staying here, but left feeling disappointed and frustrated.
Between the two sleepless nights due to an old? mattress and the constant need to be hunched over, my stay here was very uncomfortable.
For this reason, along with the serious risk of repeatedly hitting their head, I would not recommend these accommodations to family and/or friends.
Ps If you do choose to stay here:
1) The first house you see when you drive onto the property is Suzanne's house. (I thought Google Maps had sent me to the wrong location.) Keep driving. The Bus-Cabin is further down.
2) These accommodations are out in a rural area, so I'm stating the obvious here: bring bug spray. There are mosquitoes and horse flies.
