You can tell that the owners are trying but they are falling painfully short of acceptable. There was no opportunity to add a pet to the booking and no communication about a pet policy until after it was reserved and paid for. When we arrived, we were greeted only by an envelope demanding cash to pay for the pet. Who carries cash? There was no indication of where our room was or how to find it. Email from the lodge was in all caps. I don’t appreciate being yelled at by a perfect stranger over email as a first introduction. The bed, bedding, and pillows smelled of wet dog. The floor was filthy and stained. There was a strange dark reddish brown stain across an entire wall next to the bed. The walls were paper thin so I could actually hear the neighbors doing their bathroom business. The checkout instructions were sent in email after we had already left. It was so uncomfortable that I got no sleep at all and couldn’t get out of there fast enough. The main building was locked so if there are any amenities in there, we had no access to them. It looked cute through the window. I really wanted to like it but I didn’t get to experience any of its redeeming qualities.
