Tranquillum Forest Farm

Don’t like leaving the reviews, but this place was a disaster! Pictures on Airbnb were so misleading, photographer deserves 5 stars, but this place not even this one. Friend made the reservations, you can only imagine how she felt when we arrived… Dirt road to the property, junkyard looking place next to it, half paved driveway, ‘parking spot’ just muddy area next to the place where our car got stuck. No dead bolt on the door, key can only be used from the outside and someone’s RV parked right in front of the ‘house’. Taking everything into the account, we did not feel safe staying there. And we most certainly did not appreciate the owner coming right away and kicking us out, while we were still on the phone with the Airbnb trying to figure out what to do next

Do not stay here. To begin with, I believe the previous reviews are fake. The location is terrible at the end of a scary looking dirt road with abandoned cars and trailer parks everywhere. I did not feel safe at this property. The yard was completely unmaintained with weeds growing everywhere, mud pits, and random objects. The pictures inside do not represent how it actually looks. I thought we arrived at the wrong property. Once I realized, I immediately asked for a refund. Host communication is very bad. The property reminds me of a Breaking Bad scene.

David graciously let us park our 40 foot beast of a bus here while we worked to move out of our house and look for property on this side of the bridge. Since we were there a few months I can tell you that the mornings are beautiful, the stars at night are so bright because it gets dark! You will hear coyotes in the evenings sometimes, a pair of owls that live in the trees above, and birds that well..bring your bird seed because they might be expecting treats! The property where you will park is fenced so your dogs can run their legs and so can your kids safely! No dump site so have a sustainable system but water and power was great for us! If you are looking for a place to stay for a night or short term without the judgement of not having an 80k RV this is the place! There is an amazing winery down the street to the left and a 15 minute drive from big grocery stores!

Sharing my experience of an Airbnb rental: Our group decided that we didn't feel comfortable staying at one of their locations that is currently posted on Airbnb. We had planned to BBQ during our stay however the area designated for this didn't seem maintained enough for us to comfortably do so. The entrance door handles were loose. The conditions of the surrounding area were not holding up to what we thought the interior was promoting though the posted images. We promptly contacted the host to find a resolution as we would no longer be staying at this location for the dates reserved. (We left within 15 mins of arriving since someone showed up to lock up) We didn't get much help from the host or Airbnb so resorting to this. I'd say do your research on the location before booking here.

A fantastic place out in the country. We felt very lucky to be one of the first guests to the farm, David was a very gracious and welcoming host especially as we called last minute he was very accommodating and we can’t wait to come back to stay again.
