The location is beautiful, with lovely views of the property and woods, and the architecture is unique and interesting. However, I felt the listing did not fully reflect the actual experience.The description emphasizes privacy, leading us to expect a more secluded setting. While the property is large, the Pond House is located only a short distance from the owners' residence. The hosts were respectful and did not intrude, but the level of privacy was not what we anticipated especially since the large massive windows have no shades or curtains. You are exposed if anyone happens to be walking by. Guests receive a map showing areas available for use, but it is somewhat unclear, and there are no markers indicating boundaries, which made us uncertain about where we could comfortably explore.The home may be difficult for older guests or those with mobility concerns. The primary bedroom is upstairs while the bathroom is downstairs, and both bedrooms have very low platform beds.The kitchen felt small and dated for this price point, with limited, mismatched dishware and instructions not to get the stovetop controls wet. The outdoor living areas and exterior also appeared worn and in need of maintenance. The pond is in desperate need of aeration. It is stagnant and not at all beautiful.Overall, this is a distinctive property in a beautiful setting, but it feels somewhat tired and would benefit from updating and better alignment between the listing and the actual guest experience.
