Overall our stay was ok. The house was not as pictured. There were pest(roaches), which wasn’t mentioned in booking, but there was a note inside the property stated that they were there. Our sheets were not cleaned, we had to purchase new linen for our stay. We did, however wash the linens that were there for the next guests. The yard was very nice. The area was nice and quiet. I do not think we will stay again at this property because of the pests.

Thank you for your feedback and for washing the linens for the next guests — that was very kind.
We’re sorry the home wasn’t quite what you expected. All linens are washed on-site between guests and had been freshly laundered before your stay. We apologize they didn’t meet your standards and have addressed it with our cleaning team.
The bugs you saw are palmetto bugs (large outdoor wood roaches common in Florida’s wooded/farm areas). They are very different from German cockroaches, don’t typically infest homes, and are a fact of life here even with monthly professional pest control. This is noted in our Booking Agreement and inside the home.
To future guests: We are always happy to assist during your stay. If you have any concern with linens or anything else, please let us know right away.
Herbalist Farm is a very peaceful place, and the backyard is especially relaxing if you enjoy a rustic, rural environment while still being close to dining and shopping.
We look forward to welcoming our next guests!
Thanks!
Bart & Sue

Thanks for staying with us Jeff - we weren't aware you had any trouble with cookware or knives? You never mentioned anything when we stopped by and brought some replacement light bulbs for you? It's always helpful to reach out if you need something or have a question - as we are more than happy to assist!
Thanks so much!
