Unfortunately, our stay at Harmony Farm was not what we expected based on the listing. At the time of booking, the listing stated that a cold shower was available, but upon arrival, we were told to use a garden hose instead. The listing was later updated to “no shower,” but this was not reflected when we booked. Accurate and consistent information is essential, and this was a major disappointment. Having a shower was the deciding factor as to why we booked it. On Sunday, the listing was updated from “shower available” to “no shower.”
The mornings were disrupted by numerous roosters that were extremely loud, and one became aggressive and chased me in the yard. Additionally, while the listing stated “no pets,” we discovered a cat in the basement, along with a noticeable odor and a spider in the half bathroom. Guests with allergies or sensitivities would have appreciated advance disclosure of this.
Other advertised amenities were also not usable — the plunge pool was closed during our stay. The property itself felt cluttered, with items such as an old tire and a bench and other items. Combined with loud vehicles driving nearby, it was difficult to rest. On our last morning, the host mentioned we could come inside to shower since the children were sleeping. This was not something we felt comfortable with, so we declined.
Overall, the experience was uncomfortable and not aligned with the information originally provided in the listing.
