Ivyland, Pennsylvania
Please read the entire listing before inquiring or booking. Please don’t waste my time with questions when the answers are on this listing. Thank you!
We have A private Inlaw suite/ studio apartment separate from the main house. I live in the main house. The house sits on an acre of land with an inground pool and a fire pit that get our guest may use. Weather permitting!!!
You are renting the private studio Not the entire house. The studio has a queen size bed that sleeps 2 and I can set up a bed height queen size air mattress for 2 extra guests.
We are near local restaurants and stores, short distance from the center of Richboro. Nearby attractions Are Sesame Place, Philadelphia, Newtown, New Hope, Lambertville, Parx casino, wineries, etc.
We live in the country so you may see a deer or two in our backyard at night.
No public transportation, but Lyft and Uber are available 24/7.
Due to covid, I will provide contactless check in and check out for my guests. The pool is available for guests with social distancing from my family if we are at the pool.
No parties or events allowed. The maximum number of people allowed to stay in the suite is 4 people. No one is allowed on the property. Do not ask!
Setting the scene: I am a regular VRBO user (eg. 5 bookings in the last 3 months!) and I have only ever had 5-star ratings from the sellers who review me. This listing wins the prize for being my first incredibly disappointing experience with a dishonest, unprofessional home-owner. I had seen the last guest's rating was 1 star and was somewhat concerned by that, but I contacted Tanya prior to booking to voice my concern and ask for clarification and she convinced me that there was nothing to worry about - the previous guest had made it up and VRBO was going to take the review offline... In my optimism, I naively believed her. My bad! While the property and neighborhood itself are perfectly adequate, if you want to save yourself a list of headaches, you're going to want to scroll on and stay somewhere else. Simply put, the studio had not been cleaned prior to our arrival, and the sleeping arrangements agreed were not provided. There were cobwebs in every corner, a thick layer of dust on every surface, remnants of pubic hair strewn across the fridge (!?) and bathroom floors as well as a crusty layer of dirty stagnant water floating on the streaked toilet bowl and dust-balls and crumbs on the kitchen floors. That's right - and you get to pay a hefty cleaning fee for the privilege of staying there! I was also promised an air mattress as per the listing description which Tanya failed to provide so I ended up sleeping on the dirty floor. I first tried to contact Tanya regarding check-in instructions which she had failed to provide, and was able to get a response from her only a few hours prior to arriving at the property - that should have been another warning sign that things weren't going to go well... I then tried to contact her again by phone after arrival, voicemail and messaging center to notify her of the missing bed, dirt and filth and got a response after 11pm that night, telling me she was sorry there wasn't a bed but she'd been up a mountain all day without cell reception. This woman argued that the property was clean and didn't believe what I was describing to her. She said I must be making it up... (why? there is no benefit to doing that. Do any of you other 5* guests go to the trouble of 'inventing' pretend dirt for kicks? Me neither.). So again, if your simple expectation for money spent is to stay in a clean place with adequate sleeping arrangements run by a professional ethical responsive home owner, scroll on! This dump is the pits.
good afternoon. I would like to preface this complaint by saying that as you can see from my profile I have rented numerous units from you in the past and have always been happy and gave positive reviews. The owners have all given me 5 star reviews as well. The reservation (ha-0jmmww7) has been a terrible experience resulting in our leaving after the first night. We checked in Sunday eve and left Monday morning at 9:58 a.m. The unit was extremely hot when we arrived and the ac was not working well and could not cool it off. The unit was NOT clean (see attached photos). The fridge and freezer were dirty, (including 2 slurpees from previous renters) the shade was completely full of black dust, the bathroom floor was not clean, the fans both had layer of thick grey/black dust. It was not clean by any standards and definitely during these times of COVID 19. This is unacceptable. This is a studio one room with a front door with a big window ,without a shade, making it easy to see straight inside. This made it inappropriate as the bed and entire unit are visible if someone is standing at the door. The website has picture of the bed with many pillows. There were only 2 pillows in the unit when we arrived!! We were 2 people staying here and she knew that. Also the site states that there are towels for the bath and pool. The owner knew we wanted to swim. However there were only 3 towels. I expect a full refund. I have requested this from the owner but have not heard back from her. (I spoke with Ellie from vrbo and she advised me to send this email to review) thank you
It was great the suite was so cute. It was perfect for me and girls get away. There was water and juice for us in the fridge and popcorn in the cabinet. The owner was very thoughtful. My girls enjoyed the pool. This was a successful trip away from home. Thank you Tanya
We have stayed at Tanya’s numerous times and it has always been fantastic! I’m almost afraid to post a review for fear that others will take the dates I want, LOL!!
Great location , very accessible to all major routes and great communication!
My son (9) and I enjoyed our overnight stay, especially the fireplace. We had a hectic weekend and it was a very relaxing place to spend the night. We did not get to meet Tanya but she was very easy to get in touch with and gave us some great recommendations for Italian restaurants close by. We would love to stay again when we are in the area.
It was a good location for our needs. We did not realize there was no stove, but the toaster oven was helpful. Interesting set up, works well overall.
Tanya has a great place here and you will enjoy the excellent communication she provides as you plan your stay! Tanya really goes the extra mile to assure her guests are comfortable and the experience is one you will want to book again.
Loved the privacy and convenience of Tanya’s place! It was quiet and peaceful. Thanks !
The Dog came at me 3 times viciously when we arrived,The owner only called for the dog the last time, We left, she claims the Dog only ATTACKS if you have Illegal Drugs on You! We are 73 Yrs. Old. No Leach, No Fence, You will get BIT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
