Backyard camping disappointment
Unfortunately the place looks as though it has been neglected, and the website pictures don't show the current state. We also didn't realize we would be in literally the host's back yard. Cindy, the host, was very gracious (she loaned us a set of sheets) and apologetic for some of the issues - a "mud" pond that was supposed to be worked on and furniture that looked like it hadn't been cleaned in while (there was a thunderstorm earlier in the day, but things looked like they'd been sitting for weeks). We were told we'd have a outdoor shower, but the shower stall was ripped and faded, and the shower bag had moldy water in it. The refrigerator we were allowed to use looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a while and was pretty old and rusty. The pool was also not ready for us, even though we arrived later in the day. And we were going to have to wait until the pool person came back to retest the following day. Overall, the place was just pretty depressing. We gave it our best shot for one night but woke up realizing we could do better. We did politely ask Cindy if she might refund us for the other nights, but she declined. Not wanting to put any negative energy out there, we held off writing this review, instead wanting to give her the chance to apologize and/or make amends somehow but she didn't. Instead she got defensive and told us to "have a blessed week" or "day". Oh well....
