The stay had some really positive aspects. I appreciated the warm welcome, the thoughtful goody basket filled with snacks, and the trail recommendations, which added a personal touch to the visit.Unfortunately, there was also a disappointing situation that impacted the overall experience. While the owner had a strict set of rules and expectations for guests, there was no mention of birds on the property whose acidic droppings could damage vehicles. The owner chose to clean the droppings off my vehicle without my knowledge or permission, and the process resulted in damage to my vehicle. What was especially frustrating was that this was never communicated to me, until it was asked. I understand that unexpected situations can happen, but I believe communication and transparency are important, especially when a guest’s personal property is involved. It was disappointing to have an otherwise enjoyable stay overshadowed by an issue that could have been handled differently. I hope the owner will consider informing future guests about this potential risk and communicating with them before taking any action involving their belongings.
