Das Nest der Fruit Hill Farm

Makena, a four star is quite disappointing. We saw and spoke with you several times. We asked how your stay was going, not once did you mention any of items you listed above. We have not seen any spiders, nor did the people before or after you. Regardless we will spray as we do monthly. The loud AC you speak of was an air purifier, we would have been happy to turn it off during your stay, if you had asked. We have insulated the ceiling and I find it unusual as no one else has complained. We would have been happy to address that as well. Communication is the key to a successful stay. The lower price of this upscale property reflects that this s a downstairs unit. You were made aware before your booking. We appreciate you staying with us and wish you a happy relocation from Mexico. As you stay at other short term rentals I suggest you communicate any possible problems with the hosts instead of sticking them with a poor review, after the fact.

Thank you for your kind words. We have put lots of thought and care into this home. I am sorry that you were unaware on how to handle the dehumidifier noise. That was not an AC unit. It is a dehumidifier and instructions were included in your arrival instructions on how to turn it off or down in the evenings if you are there during a rainy time. We have discussed a parking area up on top and it is part of our long term plan. We have found that if the Guest House has 2 cars and park in front of the garage, The Nest Parks in next to them near the entrance and one car parks long ways near the yard, with a max of four cars, everyone can come and go easily. Yes an up top parking space would be nice. So would a garage up top. It is all about money. It is in our long term plan. There are also problems with how fast rain is absorbed into the grassy ground vs a paved parking area. We do not want the water rushing faster at the house than it currently does, hence the dehumidifier. Everything is complicated. We have insulated between the upstairs and downstairs, it is as good as we can get it. The ceilings in The Nest are shorter and I believe one would hit their head on the ceiling in a bunk bed when you sat up in bed. The couch does turn into a bed. There is no other option for the laundry. Even if we moved them to the pantry, they would need to be a smaller stackable. They would still be directly behind the heads of the twin beds. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay in The Guest House/The Nest.
