The name of the property, “Dome of Your Dreams,” suggests a high standard. Unfortunately, there was nothing dreamy about our stay. Upon arrival, we messaged the property manager with some concerns- dirt, hair, and mold in the refrigerator. Not a great first impression. Billy messaged back with an apology and offered to refund the cleaning fee (which he did) and the following night if we chose not to stay. However, after driving from out-of-state, and with two young kids, we decided to make the best of it. As the night progressed, we discovered lights that flickered or didn’t turn on, vents caked in dust, sloping floors, mildewy showerheads, an exposed electrical outlet, and a broken ping pong table (among other things). Again, we thought about the kids and reworked our plan: the HOUSE was no longer the adventure we’d promised them, instead it would be whatever activities we could enjoy OUTSIDE of the house. So, we went to Leesburg Animal Park, the Crystal Grottoes Caverns, and walked the historic streets of Harper’s Ferry. We stayed two nights. It was an expensive lesson we will not repeat (and if we could post our pictures, we would).
