Really nice, it seems people have been considerate and respected the property and taken the proper steps to preserve it. It's really helpful of the host to provide the towels for dirty feet and sheets for furniture protection (we also brought some of our own).

Feather Nest Inn

8/10 Good
"Biggest drawback was the price - at least 40% higher than it should be, if not more. Very disappointed in what we experienced for what we paid. The “vision” of the the place and the intent is higher than the execution. Maybe if was better whenever it first opened. The online photos are way more appealing and attractive than the actual unit. The decor — quaint and rustic - it’s fine. There was a huge (definitely not needed) portable A/C unit right inside the door, along with a portable oil heater, taking up a lot of space. Light switch by the sofa inoperative — cord has to be plugged and unplugged to turn on. Kitchen was good, applicants ok, dishes/utensils adequate, but the pretty matching table settings are only in the pictures. Items like the ground coffee should to be in original sealed containers, not in refillable ones Bathroom was not good—tub looked really grungy, with stained and mildewed grout and caulking. Definitely not one I’d like to take a bubble bath in. We had texted earlier in the afternoon the day we checked in (“text us anytime! we’re available) and never received any response. Overall what I would expect if priced at a “budget rate,” not at the highest of what we paid over an entire week and a half trip."
