Starfire Relaxation Retreat

Everything! The fire pit, the stargazing hammock, the cowboy pool, the house.... amazing!

I can not think of anything I did not like. This place is a true Gem 💎. House decorated great. Has every amenity you could ever need. The house was cool in the hot heat. The stargazing bed was oit of the world. The host is super responsive. Place was super clean. Its also very easy to get to.

Having to leave 😕

The house was very clean, well equipped, and cosy

The dirt road

If you want to relax and unwind, enjoy the sun in the day and a ceiling full of stars at night, then this is the perfect place. From the host to the scenery, everything about this property is second to none.

Nicely decorated, cozy little house with everything you need to enjoy your stay. It is remote (as advertised) which lends to great star gazing!

The main bed was comfortable. The washer/dryer, stove, and refrigerator were all newer. The internet worked pretty well. Lots of pots, pans, utensils, etc.

After the date I could cancel the reservation without penalty, the owner sent me an email letting me know the dishwasher did not work. Also, the web-site said the property had a pool which turned out to be a metal tub (looked like a round water trough for horses) with two inches of brown water in the bottom of it. The owner also said on the web-site that there was a "snack bar" in the home. Turns out that was a small table situated as a kitchen island sporting two individual serving boxes of sugary cereal and two granola bars. The bathroom door was sagging off of the top hinge making it impossible to shut the door. The remote neighborhood made me feel like a meth lab could have easily been down one of the many dirt roads. The chain link fence surrounding the property only added to that atmosphere. The furniture looked like everything came from various garage sales. And even though the owner encourages you to shop for groceries before you take the 2.5 miles of dirt road to the house, when you arrive, there is no actual place to store non-perishable groceries. There's a pantry in the kitchen, but it's locked. In general, it appeared as though the owner(s) had not seen the property in quite some time as nothing seemed maintained that well. Overall, the property description was misleading at best. Thankfully, with the help of booking.com, we only stayed one of two nights booked and were given a refund for the 2nd night after I sent pictures of the property to booking.com. It's important to note that there was a rental permit posted in the house that had expired as of 7/2/22, so I'm not even certain if it's legal for the owners to be renting the place out.
