Uncomfortable
Posted Mar. 12, 2024 on HomeAwayThe property was unique & has potential, however it was a very uncomfortable stay. I don’t usually provide reviews, but I felt compelled to do so this time. We arrived late to the property & had a hard time unpacking & unloading because the site was very poorly lit. Finding your footing or even a sidewalk to our particular studio was difficult. I would definitely suggest additional lighting outside.
Once in the studio, it was definitely cute, however, very sparsely stocked for guests and not at all clean. I’m not sure if it had not been “used” by other guests for a while but it was definitely in need of cleaning. (ie. Cobwebs everywhere, thick dust in the vents & when I wiped the high traffic areas they were filthy. The linens had stains but did seem clean, the sofa had pet hair all over it & had not been vacuumed. The floor felt dirty & it did not feel mopped at all. There were no bowls & no dish towels, I had to request them from the owner. When they were provided, the dish towels were new & not washed. I had no way to wash them. I had to purchase additional paper towels to dry the dishes, as well as hand soap that was not provided.)
Lastly, two major issues we had with our stay. There was no way for us to regulate the temperature of our studio. No heating or cooling thermostat in our studio. If we were hot or cold, we could do nothing about it. That was AWFUL. However, worse…when we did have neighbors in studio 1, you could hear EVERYTHING!!

serene little yurt-like getaway
Posted Dec. 13, 2023 on HomeAwayadorable yurt-like (but nicer) place to stay away from the hustle and bustle. Its quirky but in a good way. I wrote most of the day looking at the lake - was beautiful and quiet. will be back

Matress mayhem
Posted Jun. 4, 2023 on HomeAwayWe arrived shortly before check in. Gained access to the studio, although the lock on the door doesn't lock so the key was useless. Found a large dead wolf spider by the bed and got rid of that. Started taking a closer look and found that the matress they expected us to sleep on looked like it used to be in a trap house. It was at this point we turned around and left. Let VRBO know it was not a sanitary place to stay and found another place. Still waiting for management to get back to us about a refund. I would add pictures but i can't on here.

Perfect for a couple
Posted Mar. 16, 2023 on HomeAwayWe were in Florida to watch our daughter play softball and the little domed Studio 2 was perfect for our needs. Well equipped kitchen and spacious shower made it even better. Only negative at all was the ability to hear the other guests is the adjacent Studio. But it definitely WAS NOT that bad and didn’t distract from our enjoyable time. Thanks!

Dissatisfied with one thing
Posted Nov. 21, 2022 on HomeAwayWe did not have access to the thermostat, it was in another unit so this was no bueno.
Would I rent again? Yes as long as I get a unit with my thermostat.

Near my mother who is in a memory care facility
Posted Jul. 15, 2022 on HomeAwaySaw these dome houses and always wanted to stay in one. Ours was newly renovated. Quirky and clean and had everything we needed. Our dog was allowed!

Unique place with beautiful view of Lake Sumner
Posted May 4, 2022 on HomeAwayThis interesting property is nestled in a quiet, scenic gated golf community. It's tucked away, yet close to everything just off Rt 50. We arrived after hours, the gate code worked, and our key with instructions were in the mailbox as promised. We stayed in Studio 02 which was lovely with ample room for 2 people. The view of the lake was gorgeous, especially at sunrise. Lots of nature and wildlife around. I didn't give 5 stars on the cleanliness because there were crumbs on the small dining table and kitchen countertop, and the floor could have been cleaner. Our unit didn't have an individual temperature control. At times, it was a bit chilly inside the dome, and late at night it got a bit warm, but not to the point we couldn't sleep. The walls are thin so be prepared to hear your neighbors. We read that from another review before we booked, so we brought a table top fan to help drown out the noise. Worth noting for shorter people -- I'm 5'4 and I could only see the top half of my face in the bathroom mirror. The large mirror on the bedroom wall helped compensate for this. No counter space in the bathroom, although the shower was roomy and very clean. Only 1 bath towel and 2 washcloths are provided - no hand towels - so you may want to bring extras. This IS noted on the booking contract but I'm sure some don't read it thoroughly and then are disappointed to find that out there's not enough towels. Ants were a bit of an issue so you may want bring some ant killer. Over all, we enjoyed our stay and will definitely lodge here again when visiting our friends in Groveland. Cool place!
