The listing is up! Sleeps 10, 2 bathrooms, no drinking water lololol

(First lemmy post so bear with me)

This is the most entertaining listing I’ve ever seen and I cannot get over the drinking water situation. Like am I reading this right? From the listing: “ *Please note, the water is not potable and should not be drank or consumed.” and bird’s response about bottles water. lol yeah sign me up!

So it’s not on Airbnb… so there’s no reviews she can’t delete… got it.

Oh boy, she must really believe in her product to not want any information about it to be public on AirBnB. I'm sure that's what took so long; she had to hire someone to build an entire website for her so no one could leave reviews or see how often it's booked.

I’m always fascinated people defend her like she’s their friend and the fan-girling is disturbing

This is what bothers me more and more. She knows people will defend her. This is what she cultivates and manipulates with her big Disney princess eyes, her health scares, and how brave she is...its so calculated and gross.

This is what bothers me the most too because these people are just her marks in the con game. They defend her and spend all their money on the crap she’s selling.

“Picture this: your own private beachfront paradise, where t he sun kisses your skin and the gentle waves serenade you r soul” was this written by AI?! Whats with the word breaks, mid-word??

I do feel like the water situation is pretty normal, any cottage I’ve been to it’s a showering & brushing your teeth is ok but don’t drink it situation. But she could at least provide a water cooler like damn, it wouldn’t be much to have one and some spare jugs around.

Agree! I’m not originally from Ontario so I don’t have much cottage experience but if it wasn’t drinkable, I’d definitely expect an accommodation like a cooler so I don’t have to worry about supplying drinking water for all of my guests.

grammar and amenities or lack thereof are both atrocious.

The lack of proof reading on anything she does amazes me. However, I should note I am a melting ice cream cone and I take pride in my work, unlike Birdie who does the least possible.

There isn’t a bbq! That would be a dealbreaker for me

6

No bbq is just cheap. Especially at that nightly cost to stsy. But considering they’re not even providing water, I guess it’s not a surprise.

Apologies. I made a post too. I didn't see this. Look at the website! It’s so poorly designed. The words split mid-word

Testing as a precaution? WTF? Well water has to be regularly tested

This heat wave should really crank up the algae blooms big time. I'm also assuming they must be on a well and they haven't checked the water yet? Sheesh, amateurs (at life).

I’m on TT getting hot tub warnings all of a sudden 🤣. When the guests are done swimming in the algae lake they can take their chances in the hot tub.

I don’t believe they haven’t tested the water. I think it failed the test. Why not install a cooler system with water delivery? I wouldn’t want to schlep my drinking water when I’m paying $650/night

Or even a reverse-osmosis system. That’s what many cottagers have on my lake (which is sadly near hers).

I just don’t quite understand what is the big deal about it being pink? Like it’s 2024, “unconventional” colors for houses are not a big deal.

Also yea it sleeps 10, but to me the space seems quite small.

I mean its whatever, to each his own. I have no idea why anyone would pay to stay on a lake, that is not exactly safe to swim in. 🤷🏼‍♀️ What’s the point?

She acts like she invented the colour pink when really it’s incredibly popular (and NOT because of her, as she once implied).

Yeah saw that. There’s a different ‘book now’ button further up that page that works

On IG, she said its server issues because of all the web traffic to her site haha. No, it’s probably just a broken link 🤦🏻‍♀️.

Trying to trick us into thinking her algae cottage is breaking the internet is the laugh I needed today.

Plastic water bottles everywhere add to the aesthetic!

This price is unreal. Why are people running to book this crappy pepto palace. Why people????!?!?!?!
