My husband and I were happy to find a place close where we could stay for our hunting trip. We had a kitchen to come back and cook in, a place to come back to take a shower after we were outside all day long. The house is charming and Victorian, yes. Old and rustic, yes, but cleanliness was not up to par. The rug in the living room was dirty, there were ring stains on the table in the living room of I don’t know what, dried food on one of the arms on the chair in the living room, the floors throughout the house were filthy as well as hair all over the bathroom floor upstairs and downstairs. Underneath the sink in the kitchen was a disgusting mess. The refrigerator was not completely clean but not completely dirty either. Opening the blind in the kitchen I noticed a huge spiderweb, dust everywhere in the windows. If you are paying somebody to clean that place I don’t know what they’re doing. You are either fibbing about the place being cleaned or they are stealing your money. Also we had to provide our own batteries for the remote control for the television in the living room because the batteries were dead. I’m actually glad that we had some AAA batteries with us for our headlamps that we hunt with otherwise we would not have been able to watch TV. I understand that I could have tried to get a hold of you regarding batteries but felt that that was pretty petty so I decided not to do that and I’m leaving it in my review. Also with it being chillier at night we would’ve maybe liked to of had a fire but there were two logs to put in the fireplace so couldn’t do that.
As far as I am concerned, the woman who owns this property is a business owner. If I had looked at the reviews from previous people who stayed at her property I would have never booked this place. Her rebuttal to the review from the “anonymous” gentleman, or lady, was extremely unprofessional and defensive. Technically, although you go through VRBO, you are still a business owner. There is a reason why there is a review process for people who stay at this property or any property. Regardless if they like it or not it is still constructive criticism. You cannot please everyone, but you can certainly try. You did not try with that person. You got nasty. Again, you are a business owner and you should take those reviews as constructive criticism. I did notice that you have two properties in rifle. We will not be booking with you ever again. Thank you, regardless.
