I had a lovely experience initially. The room was clean and comfortable, the bed and fresh sheets were good, and the property was peaceful surrounded by woods. I especially enjoyed the outdoor shower. Andrew was helpful with directions and welcoming when I arrived, and I was offered a glass of wine. I was looking forward to doing a tasting and purchasing a couple of bottles before leaving.
Unfortunately, my experience changed dramatically when I was attacked by a dog on the property. The dog was not on a leash. It suddenly came running toward me, jumped up, and grabbed at my abdomen. I was scratched on my abdomen and my dress was torn. Thankfully, my physical injuries were not too serious, but the incident was very frightening and traumatic.
As I was leaving, Andrew apologized, gave me a bottle of wine, offered to refund my stay because of the incident. I did not ask for the refund, but I accepted in good faith. However, I never received the refund. He later messaged me through Hipcamp apologizing again.
I waited before writing this review because I wanted time to process the experience and be fair. Without the dog incident, I would have left a very positive review. Unfortunately, being attacked by an unleashed dog was a serious safety issue, and because of the incident and its potential future risk, I cannot recommend staying here.
