The entire Lit Lavender farm was awesome! Joe was wonderful to meet and everything was fantastic. Both RV and cabin were immaculately clean. RV had everything we needed. Beds were comfortable. The Lavender was beautiful and my daughter was able to bring some home. We had a great time doing the scavenger hunt and miniature golf was so much fun! The gift shop was great too. Spending time with goats Puzzles and Bambi was pretty cool. We definitely want to return again. Highly recommended! Thank you Joe and family for having us! Keep doing what you are doing with your organic lavendar, it's amazing!

Will definitely not return

Parking is absolutely horrible. Had to park 2 blocks away. The room was super hot and stuffy. The rooms don’t have any AC. Plus they have a kitchen but no ice. Also the people in the room above us you could hear every noise, even stuff you don’t want to hear lol.

Affordable Safe & Clean!

The space was nice, clean, and the neighborhood was gorgeous. We enjoyed having laundry on site and didn’t have to go home with a bunch of laundry to do. The place was easily accessible, and the shared spaces were not an issue

Misleading advertisement!!! Not a suite!

Customer service and satisfaction was horrible! The listing on hotels.com was misleading. This is not a private unit, it has a shared kitchen, no living room or space to have guests, the room is small and is one of about 12-14 rooms in the home. There was high traffic at all hours, it was dirty and the heat didnt work.

I enjoyed my stay. I found the bathroom clean and the bed was quite comfortable. My only negatives are that it takes a long time to get hot water and it’s light pressure, and the common area floors could use a good wash. The host was easy and efficient to deal with online though. I really enjoyed the codes to get in/out so I could easily walk around neighbourhood and come and go like my own house. I was alone so it’s a perfect stay for solo travellers. If I was with a partner though it may not be private enough as sounds carry within home so I’d probably go to a hotel with thicker walls if that’s a consideration for anyone lol. Cute modern house and very walkable location if you can handle steep hills. I’d definitely stay there again for the price and kind service from the host.

Great stay, appreciated the kitchen and supplied dish ware and cooking utensils. Saved us from spending all our money by eating out the whole time. Close walk to shops, grocery stores and transit.
