Ambience of guest house and grounds were very enjoyable as expected.
However, the online listing of rates per day was significantly lower than the actual charged rates.
If this typical for the State of Maryland, in the future we will need to know what the actual total charges will be at time of booking and not rely on advertised rates listed online.
In addition, after arrival the ower advised us of "rules" regarding our visiting guests, such as names and ages for each guest, how long a period will each guest be visiting, what will be the total number of guests at each visit and what will each visitor be doing on grounds.
The ower stated all of the above information should have been prearranged at time of booking. Furthermore, owner stated there could be addtional fees for having visitors.
Booking agent, Vrbo, provided no such requirements nor did owner communicated these rules to us prior to check in.
This issue was very distressing for us to learn following a long drive and with guests expected to arrive within 15 minutes.
Either booking agent and/or owner should have provided these requirements to us at time of booking or at least prior to check in.
We doubt Vrbo, based on our previous experiences with them, have the capacity to make such detailed delineations at the time of booking. Therefore, the ower should have initiated and informed us of these requirements at least prior to check in.
In summary the stay was delightful, except for the first two hours after check in.
If the above two issues are not addressed, I doubt I will refer any family nor friends to this place, no matter how charming it may be.
