Dobson Ranch Condo
Four of us stayed at Dobson Ranch for 2 weeks the end of March and into April. This condo would be best for just one couple…not 4 adults.
While the pictures of the condo look great, be aware that the descriptions for the bedrooms were incorrect. The Primary bedroom is a queen bed-not a king bed as the description on the picture stated. The 2nd bedroom is a trundle bed-so, two twin beds that fold out into the trundle. The trundle bed is difficult to put together and there were no directions on how to correctly put it up. We did figure it out, but discovered that one of the bed frame slats was broken….and there were also lots of cracker crumbs under the trundle bed. The couple that had to sleep in the trundle bed had to crawl over each other to get out of the bed due to the frame being on 3 sides. It was just an unfortunate situation to have that trundle bed in the 2nd bedroom. There is room, so they should have a regular queen bed in there for everyone to use so you don’t have to crawl over the other person to get out. Another unfortunate situation with the trundle bed was that one night the frame collapsed in the middle of the night. What a wake up call. While they were trying to put the bed back together, a big creepy bug came scurrying out from the closet. Yuk!
I contacted the guest contact and the owner and the owner offered a free cleaning for the next day. That was considerate, but still didn’t help the trundle situation.
Another issue we had was a horrible stench coming from the garbage disposal. We cleaned it and purchased some Glade plug-ins to mask the smell.
The living room only had a couch. That would be fine for one couple staying, but with 4 of us, usually 2 sat on the couch and 2 of us had to sit on the dining room chairs. It would have been nice to have another side chair or 2 in the living room to relax and visit.
We wish we would have done our homework a bit better. We wanted a heated pool, but the pool is not heated.
This unit is an underground unit. The patio had one lonely (dirty) bench outside the patio doors. The patio area would be more useful if it were clean, and had a few chairs and a small table out there.
I feel accommodations should be better for the price we paid. No reviews were available when we booked in February. We wouldn't have booked here if we had reviews to read.
This unit has potential if these things would be fixed.
The guest contact was readily available to help us, as well as contacting the owner.
