Cozy farm stay

My partner and I enjoyed our stay at the Starlight very much. We thought it had everything we needed for our stay, and loved the fenced in backyard with the doggie door for my dog. We also loved hearing all the farm animals in the neighborhood. The place stayed cool even though we had very warm weather during our stay and there’s only one window AC. The host also checked in to make sure we had everything we needed!

Cozy Space

The home is cozy and comfortable. It was nice to be in a quiet area not too far from town. The only hiccup was the address in which the road name changed and it took 20 minutes to get ahold of host to get correct address. (No biggie.)

Relaxing Stay

The inside of the Starlight was fantastic. The place was very clean and had new appliances. It was helpful to have a washer and dryer. The owner had great communication throughout the stay which I appreciated. My only suggestion would be to keep the landscaping cleaned up and the yard mowed. Which to be fair as soon as I asked they came and mowed so my dogs could enjoy the fenced backyard that was advertised. We would Definitely stay there again! Enjoy the ba

Great little get away!

The location is perfectly situated in the country side but not too far from the city. It's very quiet and quaint. The amenities were perfect for what I needed during my trip. My only gripe was the coffee cups are tiny hahaha, so not a serious gripe at all. I definitely recommend this for two adults. The loft has a futon mattress set on the floor as the couch but wouldn't recommend sleeping on it unless it's for the kids, as it is pretty soft. This place is best for someone who wants to just get away and chill out for the weekend and still have the option of exploring nearby. The garage is perfect for a motorcycle or two, but don't expect to get the car inside, unless it's a smart car. The hosts were freindly, helpful and were great to deal with. Will definitely be back!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ FOR STARLIGHT!

Staying at the starlight with our family, was such a great experience! We arrived very late, and the host met us and had all the lights on to show us in. It was very comfortable and super clean. It has a huge couch in front of the TV area that is like a bed. That’s where our kids slept. The kitchen was great and we cooked several meals and had everything we needed. The king size bed was super comfortable and we slept like babies. The farm is very fun with lots of places to explore and walk. My kids got to feed the horses and we met all the other farm animals like friendly dogs, cats, and the cows, the host let us have a little campfire in the backyard. That was the best part of all, I have never seen so many stars in my life! We will be back!!

Pass on this

Did not receive the “welcome message” so of course had difficulty finding place. We were told the owner has 14 properties as an explanation. The long lane is so deeply rutted that no one should think of exceeding the 5 and 1/2 mph speed limit. The bedspread was on the floor as were dirty towels in the bathroom. Ice maker not working and no trays available. No working porch lights in back. The only written message said to clean any dog poop.The barking dogs next door were such a nuisance and I suspect they are there permanently. I regret choosing this place.

This guest booked at the very Last minute, and the place was not clean for them. I apologize to them very much, and I did refund their money. So, at least, if they didn’t like it, they didn’t have to pay! But they did stay anyway. And we could hear them fighting at night, yelling at each other. It’s unfortunate to get a guest like this, But it is also very rare. Just to address two of the concerns, we do have a dirt driveway and it is a little bumpy. I am re-graveling at the spring, so that should fix it. Also, I have recently refurnished the place with brand new range, two new couches, new paint, and a New king size bed. It is like a brand new place! Come and see and enjoy the farm!

Not what we expected

We were misled by the description of the property. Luxury was on the description, but it is not how we would describe this accommodation Of the mere 13 amenities mentioned, there were many lacking. The “couch” was a mattress folded on the floor. There was only a half roll of toilet paper in the house. No toiletries of any sort except one bottle of hand soap. No hair dryer. Very minimal cookware. So little that we did not cook one meal there. There was some coffee and a French press but no drip coffee maker Not sure if the owner was aware of the iniquities here. She offered to bring a can opener and asked what else she could do. But at that pint we just made do until we could check out It is on a nice farm with a beautiful view of the mountain from the backyard

Our stay

This place sure needs to be updated. Couch which seemed like a dog bed on floor, no frame to set in, paint desperately needs done, lots of repair needed. White patches left without paint over it. Shower too short, bed horribly hard, we left early because no furniture was comfortable. Hard chairs all over, nothing we could relax on, thank goodness we brought chairs. Lots of flies which we understood due to horses. Grass was so tall when we got there that our dog got burrs in her feet and coat. Host did mow it but sure was not a good job, weeds need to be trimmed in back yard too. The right gas burner in kitchen flairs up high, extremely dangerous, almost got burnt many times and if kids were near they would have been burned. This home is darling but just needs a lot of things done, better decor, not all old second hand looking furniture. Needs a good cleaning also!! Was not worth price we paid for sure, would not stay again!! Host was nice though!!

Thank you so much Jodi for this review. With all these suggestions, we have improved things greatly! I have put in a new bed, two new high end couches! Also, we have repainted the inside of the house, And done an extreme deep clean. I also have a new table on order And a brand new range just got installed yesterday. A stainless steel industrial style high-end kitchen range. I truly appreciate guest reviews and I respond to them accordingly. I hope you will try it again someday, as it is like a brand new place. Thank you for the compliment about myself being a good host, that makes me feel good. I love hosting people on their vacations!
