Hostile host and a kitchen toilet
Beautiful land. Christine, however, is a hostile host who met my polite questions about water and quiet hours with accusations, insults, and wild behavior, including lighting a joint and blowing it in my face. The dirty bong in the yurt must have been hers, too.
Christine's behavior was truly shocking given that the listing states she loves to host. She was aggressive and hostile from my first question which was simply to ask her if she was the host of the property. Telling me and my girlfriend that we should "watch our backs" made us feel unsafe here.
I'm a regular camper, and happy to rough it. But there were some major inaccuracies and omissions in the listing: toilet in barn is not private and is directly next to a shared kitchen space, potable water is from hose or tiny shared bathroom sink next to the toilet, there is no clean cooking/kitchen prep area or clean cooking supplies, and the communal firepit is used as the host's personal entertaining zone and very close to the yurt. It's also not safe to walk around the yurt island without extreme caution due to host's mess of garden tools, knives, saws, glass, drugs, and poison ivy.
