About this property

The Wandering Viking! Skal!!

Step into a Viking Longhouse (of sorts!) in this one-of-a-kind Private Bedroom/Half Bath with Private Entrance.
This Viking-inspired bedroom immerses you in the mystical essence of Norse tradition. Cozy and warm, the dim, flickering firelight sets a magical ambiance. Authentic shields and natural elements—like rope and fur—infuse the space with the strength and wonder of the Viking spirit! Skal!!

Everything was great. Communication with the host was great. Directions were clear. Accommodations were comfortable. The only unexpected thing was the listing indicated there was a shower, but there was no shower or bath.

I appreciate your review and your feedback. I do want to note that the listing clearly states a half bath. I hope the rest of your stay was a success, and I’m always striving to keep the experience top-tier.

I had an extended stay at the Wandering Viking. I loved the decor. The bed was very comfortable. It has all the comforts of home. Mary was available for all communication and responded quickly. I enjoyed my stay and will definitely go back. Thank you so much Mary.

What a great guest to host! So easy to communicate with, and left the place clean and tidy. Would recommend to any other host, and would welcome back to our property any time.

When description reads ‘whole house’ and ‘Viking master bath room’ and photos show a stack of towels I would expect a bath or shower. It is at the point that guests have to dig to find the scam. I felt slapped in the face. We came in tired and unwell. The towels were for show. No shower, no tub, not even a wash cloth to wash our face. We left the next morning to get a motel so we could bathe before we left town. There were also people smoking right outside our door so no fresh air. I’ve learned a lesson. Get a decent motel.

This is not a scam—my listing clearly states that it’s a bedroom in a shared home, with a half bath and access to a main shower inside the house. The ad also mentions that smoking is permitted outside. I even included pictures to confirm this. I offered you the shower access when you asked, and I expected a more respectful interaction. Your booking was for one night but your review makes it sound like you left the next morning to get a motel. Im sorry your expierience was a let down. Safe travels.
