I'll start off by saying that this house is beautiful. A lot of care has obviously been put into it. It was comfortable, spacious and you couldn't ask for a better view. I think if we had stayed in the spring or summer it would have been perfect. And Kyle was responsive to our questions leading up to the stay. But, we didn't stay during a warm season. The house uses a coal fired heating system. It is the responsibility of the person staying at the house to keep the system up and running. You have to start the fire (which is a bit of a pain) and it takes forever for it to get going. We were told it would take two hours for it to get up and running and then the house would warm up quickly after that. It was 57 degrees when we got there. We would also have to keep adding coal to the system every few hours. We started the fire around 6 p.m. By 10 p.m. the house was still freezing. It was about 59 degrees. We ended up sleeping bundled up and under every extra blanket we could find. The warmest it got was about 61 degrees. And, of course, because we didn't add more coal in the middle of the night, the fire went out and it whatever heat had been put out had disappeared. We didn't want to spend all day in the house keeping the heat running so we knew the whole process would start all over again when we got home that evening. We made the difficult decision to leave and find a hotel for our final two nights, which was super frustrating. I did email Kyle and let him know and ask if it was possible to get even a small refund because of the heating issue and never heard back. Up until that time he had been very responsive. I would add, we followed the step by step instructions to start and run the coal system so I do not believe it was user error. Anyway, like I said, the property is beautiful and I think it would be a great place to stay when the weather is a little warmer and you don't have to be dependent on a rather outdated heating system.
