It was a magical experience for my partner and I this weekend, however, there were some extremely concerning things as well. I'll start with the magical moments. The location is amazing and very walkable to many things. This was great as my partner and I don't drive. The mansion itself is absolutely beautiful! It's charming and has Little House on the Praire vibes. We stayed in the Gold Banner room which was lovely. Chef Cory is amazing and we loved your waffles this morning! My partner surprised me with their Honeymoon package which made me cry. The cupcakes were delicious and the sparkling alcohol free wine was a great touch, especially for those who don't consume alcohol. , , Now, for the aspects of our staycation that we both thought were truly concerning and harmful. Bailey, I hope you read all of this too. You are wonderful and were so helpful and kind. Carl, we were both horrified and saddened to hear you talk to your daughter in the deeply disrespectful manner. Saying you proudly call your daughter your bitch and sometimes want to choke her is neither funny nor appropriate in front of guests or behind closed doors. It's cruel and shamefully misogynistic. It worries us how you behave with her when people aren't around. I wish I would have said something in the moment, especially because Bailey was right there and am sorry I didn't. We were both horrified and it shut us down. I hope you know, Bailey, that that wasn't okay nor amusing. , , So long as Carl is running things, we deeply regret we will not be coming back. It's truly a shame because we had a magical weekend. There was a lot of uncomfortable tension in the dining room during breakfast yesterday too because of this and the tone he used with his daughter. , , Be advised of these concerns but also know there are good things about the house itself.
