We went to this B&B with friends. We have never been so disappointed.
The positive review on this site was obviously written by the owner, Dale Anderson, since it could not be more off the mark. We were made to feel UNWELCOME. We felt like intruders in a private home.
From the first moment we arrived, Dale made us feel that we were inconvenient disturbance to his day.
Although the house is set on a lovely lake in a lovely spot, the house is decorated like a gruesome museum with animal skins, stuffed elephant's feet, stuffed bears and animal heads. If you bring your children, be prepared for nightmares.
The bathroom was left dirty with hair in the sink and tub. The coffee pot in the room was left filthy with a rotted, moldy coffee filter festering inside. The washer and dryer were never available for use by guests since they were always stuffed with towels and sheets that were never removed until the next day.
There is no common area to sit or visit inside the house. On rainy days we were forced to either stay in our rooms or sit outside in the rain. The outdoor heater was not available because it had run out of gas and Dale refused to replace the tank despite several requests. . We tried to barbeque, but the barbeque was filthy and, after cleaning, it ran out of gas half way through our cooking. You'd think we asked for the life of his first born child when we requested a change of gas tank. Dale stormed out of the house in a huff and banged the tank into place. When we offered to help, he snapped, "Do you want the tank changed or not?" Not exactly accomodating.
The hot tub was hot for our first night only, then it was shut off for the rest of our stay. One couple came down from their room to try out the hot tub but couldn't stand the cold. They left the next morning.
The owner does put out muffins and coffee for breakfast for the guests' breakfast. He gets up at around 5AM to make bacon and eggs for himself, but he doesn't offer to share.
There are no "sweeping views" from the lakeside suite. You can catch a glimpse of the lake around a corner of the house.
They refused to provide a chair for us to sit on in our room. We were not allowed in the main part of the house after breakfast. That was "family time."
We went with friends expecting an intimate cozy retreat and instead we found rudeness and downright hostility. We left after only three days (we originally planned to stay a week) as soon as we could find ANYWHERE else to stay.
The other guests at the B&B had simlar comments and we wondered just WHAT was the problem with Dale and Honeybee. We moved to a motel near the airport. It didn't have the view but we felt more personally welcome than we did by Dale and Honeybee.
Skip this place. Go ANYWHERE else. If you venture to this supposed B&B, you will be sorry. Not worth the money, even for free.
By the way, Admiralty tours is also run by "Captain Dale Anderson" No surprise that they love their own place. What a crock.
