Great Views, No Instructions
I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to stay at such a beautiful Hipcamp location and for the host's kindness in accepting my last-minute booking and allowing me to check in at 8:05 pm. However, I left feeling extremely disappointed with certain aspects of the experience. While the host gave an introduction over the phone when I arrived, it was so dark outside that I couldn’t make sense of the directions, and despite calling back twice, I was unable to get any additional guidance. I understand it was very late and also early on a Sunday when I called again, but without clearer instructions, I ended up wandering the property, feeling like I was trespassing, just trying to find basic amenities like the bathroom. Every door I tried was locked, and without any signage or detailed instructions, it made what could have been a wonderful experience quite frustrating. To top it off, I lost my Apple Watch during my stay, though I was lucky to retrieve it the next day. While I truly appreciate the host’s flexibility, clearer communication and better organization would have significantly improved my stay.
