Indoor garden, Acreage

Thanks so much, I hope to see you again.

It was a pleasure to host as your VRBO and I sincerely hope to see you again.

It was my pleasure to meet you and your family. Thank you for being wonderful guests who were kind, respectful and super clean. You are the ideal guest and I look forward to your next visit.

It was my pleasure. You and your family is amazing, kind, clean and always laughing. I hope to see you again.

Come back anytime. It was an absolute pleasure meeting you and your family.

Thanks for all your feedback, even though most of your horrible experience could have been avoided with better communication it’s a learning experience for sure. Do you remember when you arrived and I said “please let me know if you have any questions or concerns”? I’m curious why you wouldn’t let me know these things during your stay, so that I had a chance to rectify your issues and make your stay more comfortable. Instead you saved all your negative thoughts for a nasty review while being pleasant to my face. Okay, let’s rewind to the night before and you said you’ll be here at 3:30 and I said I won’t be home until checkin at 4pm. My kids were doing their chores after school when you arrived, and my son who has always being commended on his kindness and he knows that doors open at 4pm, not his first rodeo. We have been doing this for 7 years. Very strange that you perceived him that way, however he will be more mindful of how he comes across in the future. Unsure why you believed you couldn’t go on the grass, it was freshly cut, weed whacked and poop picked up. Yes I agree that the house does have well water. We drink the water, it’s naturally mineralized and free of fluoride and chlorine; somehow we survive. Anyways I realize that it’s not for everyone, I will let future guests know to bring drinking water. Thanks, good point! Flies…. Hmmm…. shut the doors. Maybe the windows need more duct tape haha! Air circulation- leave the furnace fan on. I’m not sure why it was off when you left but that’s something worth mentioning. I could had fixed that in 1 second. I will leave directions for the thermostat for future guests. Thank you! Pool area is outside so nature sure does happen and all we can do is our best here. It can be immaculate one second and a stiff wind or rainstorm can throw everything off. Pool maintains a temperature 78-82 degrees F, and I did turn it to 85 on Sunday. The floating turtle thermometer should stay floating in the water to show you what the temperature is. I’m sorry that you missed where the propane fire table is. It is on the patio by the shallow end with bar stools around it. I will make a map for future guests. And yes I get it, everyone has a different standard for clean, but I must say on behalf of my poplar forest in June “welcome, enjoy the fluff (not dust bunnies), and farewell” The rest of your family, grandson’s baseball team and their families seemed to enjoy themselves around the pool. I thought I was being very kind by accepting and accommodating all your guests. It was an absolute pleasure to host for most of your friends, family, team and teams family. It is interesting because most of them were full of compliments and gratitude while I was running around maintaining the pool and fixing things your guests were too rough with. Everything was fine with you too until I gently reminded you that the pool area was a SHARED space. I got the impression that your group did not want to share when your son or son in-law (not sure) kept blocking my back door with my bbq. We only used the pool on Sunday, because my sweet kids were uncomfortable in their own pool area because they picked up on the animosity. I agree that it was filthy when you left (I will have to increase my cleaning charge) and finally let’s review damages: broke the bottom shelf on a bookshelf Broke pool strap (I fixed while you were here) Broke the metal bracket holding the basketball backboard to metal pole. I will leave a note for future guests that basketball hoop is for shooting but NOT for dunking. Thank you! I’m assuming that’s what happened but I could be wrong? Inconsiderate happenings: Knocked solar light off wall, then just leave it Used our floaties and goggles and popped 2 floaties (one white swan and tube) Missing white and yellow striped towel And some of Your guests walked through my home, yikes too many people. In the future, I will not allow guests to have guests. Thank you for all these lessons.
