The property itself was clean, well maintained, and had a gorgeous view. There were also thoughtful touches we appreciated, including nice soaps, snacks, paper towel, dish soap, some spices, cookware, media options, and a desk area. Our initial interactions with the hosts were kind. However, the bed was a very hard spring mattress and extremely uncomfortable.More concerning, we had two unsettling drone encounters on different days. The drone appeared to come from the host’s porch/driveway area, and when I reacted to it, visibly shocked and uncomfortable, it descended behind the hedge separating the properties. The second encounter happened around 10:30 a.m. while we were packing the car for our 11:00 a.m. checkout. It appeared again from the same area and seemed to be watching us as we left, which made it feel as though our checkout was being monitored. Both encounters happened so suddenly that we were unable to record them before the drone disappeared behind the hedge on the host’s side.This felt invasive, especially because privacy was extremely important to us during this stay. We were in town to visit family after a serious stroke at the local hospital and had made that need for privacy clear before booking. For these reasons, I am giving 2 stars.
