This is an update to a previous review: # 28925705
“I was one of seven ladies who spent their annual “girl’s weekend” this past weekend at this location. Beds were great as was the location. Early check-in was offered to us the night before we were to arrive, so that was a plus. The rooms were large and welcoming. The view was incredible.
However, I was NOT notified that this property was experiencing problems with the water! There was a note posted on the refrigerator telling all of us “they were experiencing low water levels in their well”. Not only was the water table low, but the water had a bad odor and taste. We were asked to conserve, which we did, but IF we had had prior notice (as the owners did), we would have cancelled.
Also, all of us were looking forward to having evening fires in the living room fireplace-there was another note “Out of order-please do not use”. That’s half of the fun-an evening fire on chilled evenings in the mountains!! Again, this information was NOT shared with me prior to our check-in on Wednesday. In all fairness, there was a wood stove in the kitchen area, but that’s not how the property was advertised. We discovered that one of the dining room chairs was broken, too.
One last thing-we we’re not able to leave our trash and recycling in the outdoor bins, as they were already filled before we arrived. So, because of the evidence of recent bear activity near the deck, we left our garbage in the kitchen. The kitchen cupboards contained the families left-over items which made for zero room for any of our cooking items to be stored. (The cupboards/drawers need to be completely cleaned and the antiques utensils removed).
This is a yearly retreat for all of us and we were hoping to make this property our annual destination. The descriptions given were very misleading.
IF you are thinking of renting this home, make sure you negotiate the nightly price first.
Everyone in our group has used VRBO when we travel with our families, so each of us expects to receive the same standards wherever we visit.
