Stay For Awhile

We had recently seen a snake near our house and look what we found while gardening. A perfectly shed snake skin where every tiny scale is still there. Snakes are on the move as the weather warms up, and it’s a timely reminder that we share this property with all kinds of wildlife.

A gentle note for our guests to be alert and watch where you walk. Give any wildlife plenty of space and they will happily keep to themselves.

Come and stay for awhile.

No city lights out here, just space, a crackling fire and more stars than you can count. Come and stay for awhile. Booking link in profile.

Airbnb has made the insane decision to stop hosts from setting their own house rules, displaying them in their properties and sending them to guests.

It also includes guests not having to wash their dirty dishes and just leave them in the sink for hosts to clean.

An interesting fun fact is that they have not actually informed hosts.

Social media certainly has its positives in this case.

Insanity!

We shared a club sandwich and slice of apple pie and ice cream. Delicious and great service. 💕

Airbnb has shifted to a 15.5% host fee, while marketing it as a “no fee” experience for guests (even though prices will likely rise to cover it).

VRBO/Stayz is increasing host fees from 5% to 12% (+ GST) and it’s unclear if guests will keep paying a booking fee on top.

When platforms squeeze hosts, rates inevitably go up. Skip the middleman, save on hidden costs, and get the best rate by booking directly with us!
