The Pod idea for rooms is an interesting concept, but the execution here is flawed.
1. The location of the property - on the edge of town- pretty much assumes guests will arrive by car - and to preserve the isolated feeling for the Pods the parking lot is located far from the rooms - which is a good move - however the parking lot is nothing but a pile of loose gravel - so there’s really no way to roll your luggage from your parked car to reception.
2. The same loose gravel was also used for all the pathways to all the rooms - and the distance from the parking lot or reception- depending on your Pod location can be 100s of yards away. I know gravel is an inexpensive permeable material- but there are other options- more expensive- that would be suitcase friendly.
3. The Pods are nice - however there’s only one window in the front of the Pod and the Pod is basically just a bed room and bathroom- so to enjoy the view you basically need to keep your bedroom curtains wide open - not very private. A skylight would have been a good addition.
4. Other items - the mirrors in the rooms were just hung with picture hooks - which is unusual. The shower did not have a caddy for the shampoo and conditioner so those were on the floor, and the toilet paper holder was a wobbly metal thing that kept falling over.
5. Breakfast was okay not great - the restaurant was closed during our stay- but the menu looked adventurous.
6. The main building bar was nice - prices were a bit high.
