I wish there was a lower score than one star because that’s what this place would get. I messaged the host ahead of time and asked if there was anything that I needed to know when I arrived, got absolutely no response. First, I will say to get here. Make sure you have a very sturdy four-wheel-drive vehicle. At one point there was a very deep dip in the road that was filled with muddy water and I got out to poke it with a stick to make sure that my car could make it through. I wish I’d had a When I got there finally there was a random extremely major dog roaming around. I kept texting the host over and over asking her whose dog it was, and she would never answer me. I sat in my car for 15 minutes, waiting for the dog to leave and it finally did. I made my way over to the tent, which can only be described as a plastic oven. The first thing I had to do was to reconnect the straps holding up the roof because they had all fallen down and you couldn’t even walk inside. I had to go out two times to catch my breath because it was so extremely hot inside. All there was was a solar fan which barely worked and trust me was not enough. The bathroom is a decent hike away from the tent, and once again the dog showed up. This time I was trapped in the tent and I couldn’t go out. By the time the dog finally wandered off for the second time. It was so hot that I went outside and I got sick. I decided that this wasn’t the place for me and I left. The host finally responded and said she’s sorry

That was an extremely long review from someone who was on my property a total of 20 minutes. I responded to you immediately and even told you I was 5 minutes away and that we could discuss face to face but you had already left. I could go line by line and point out all the inaccuracies in your review, but I’ll just keep things simple. You could have saved both of us a lot of time and stress by actually READING the listing info which clearly stated that you are renting an off grid glamping site on a working farm. It’s in very poor taste to book a place and not even bother to read about what you’re renting and then blame the host when you are not happy. While I am new to VRBO I am NOT new to hosting guests on my farm.(and neither is my extremely friendly dog) I have a 5 star rating and this past weekend was no different. 5 stars for the weekend for all 5 of my units. Obviously glamping on a rural farm with animals isn’t your thing, next time you might try taking the time to read about what you’re booking and save everyone the head ache.
