Beautiful place with a snake issue and tone deaf property management folks

The property is fantastic - we loved the vibe, the views and more. The owners have done a great job restoring this special place. Unfortunately, the house is old and has open areas (not my analysis - words of the property management employee who came there) around the foundation that allowed a snake to literally come out of the wall in the downstairs bedroom while my sister and brother in law were in bed. We called the property management company who had no comprehension/ compassion of why we weren't comfortable having our family/friends stay in a bedroom with a snake. They simply put down a sticky pad to try and catch the snake which didn't work. When I asked for a discount on the second week of the visit - given that we weren't comfortable with having guests join us - they gave me a cavalier response of "that's common in the mountains" and offered me 1/2 of a one night rental fee off the total 2 week rental. Given that we couldn't invite guests there for a full week - and my wife wasn't super comfortable staying there period after the snake came in the house - they clearly don't have any understanding that most folks consider snakes in the wall a pretty big deal. In short, our vacation was compromised by a snake issue - and we ended up spending a week in a big house alone because no other comparable houses were available. Life is imperfect - I get that - but when paying top dollar you expect to receive first class service versus "suck it up" its the mountains and a concession of less than half of one night's rate. And I certainly hope they addressed the open areas where the snake(s) came in.

If you are looking for a breathtaking view and location, this is the cabin for you! Upstairs is cozy and we enjoyed living room and wood burning fireplace. As a family of 6, we spent most of our time in this area. The sunrise and sunsets are everything. Pictures do not do the view justice...its absolutely gorgeous. I know this has been stated on other reviews, but the downstairs has a musty smell even with the humidifiers on. Also on other reviews the cleaning was brought up and I 100% agree. It needs a deep clean (appliances included) and possibly having a new service if the current one isn't doing a good job. I didn't enjoy coming from a long drive arriving to a place I needed to clean in certain areas to use and on top of it having to unload two overly filled dishwashers from the previous guests. Overall, we did enjoy our time at Graystone Cottage and the fact that we got a winter storm which resulted in so much snow made our trip just that much better.

Holiday Getaway

We had an amazing stay at Graystone Cottage! The place was very well stocked, spacious, and comfortable for our families gathering. Kitchen was large and fully equipped with anything needed! Breathing taking views, especially at sunset. Plenty of games, fire pit was nice for making S'mores, and the hot tub was nice also. Oh almost forgot the master bathroom, Amazing shower/ steam room, and can't forget the heated floors a great addition! No complaints from us, would absolutely rent the Graystone Cottage again in the future!
