The property has heat from two mini splits and also each room has two space heaters. I'm sorry you weren't able to figure out how to use them. We checked after you left and they all work. I did offer to have someone come over to help you but you said that wouldn't be necessary. I'm sorry for your poor experience. We try really hard to meet all our guests' needs.

House was clean but there was not a hairdryer as listed in amenities. Some of the lights needed light bulbs. Bed was comfy.

Donna, I'm sorry about the hair dryer. I will remove it from the amenities. We keep purchasing new ones, but they keep being taken. I did not know the most recent one was taken!

This is a hard review to write, because the host is amazing. Very communicative and helpful. I love kind people like that! The issue for me is that the property did not appear as pictured, and there were some issues. The theater room smelled like cat litter, but it couldn’t have actually been cat litter. There were no other signs of cats in or around the house. The kitchen lacked a few essentials, and it wasn’t as clean as we expected. HOWEVER, I will take a kind and generous host with a less than stellar space any day over an immaculate place with an unkind host (I speak from experience.). I just want this review to help set expectations for people. That is all. I DO recommend this place and the host.

I needed information on how to use the mini-splits. I tried to adjust the temperature but it went into another mode.The only other thing was the step down to the kitchen. I would forget it was there and hit the floor hard. It's a great home, everything you need in the kitchen and bathrooms. Beds are comfortable and lots of blankets, if needed. It is close to a lot of hte hiking we wanted to do.

The home was in a great location and was immaculately clean and well stocked. The theater room with bunk beds was amazing, my kids loved it. Do note that the bedrooms are stocked with fans and space heaters but do not have HVAC or mini splits, so when the temperature plunged overnight my 9 month old woke up crying from cold and then when we tried to plug in the space heater, it blew the fuse. There is also an issue with the shower which allows no pressure. Overall for the price, we had a great stay, and a lot of thought was obviously put into this listing.

Katy, I'm sorry for the couple of points that were a poor experience for you all. The mini splits do heat or cool the home, but with drastic changes of temperature like we had from day to night, they can be a little slow. Again, I'm so sorry. We just had the shower remodeled, and found out the new shower head was defective and have it replaced. Thank you for letting us know of these issues and I'm sorry for the inconveninces they caused you.

Long weekend visit

We enjoyed our recent stay! The owner was quick to respond to my question and the check-in process was a breeze. My young adult son loved the media room and appreciated the snacks. We would stay here again and have already recommended it to other family visiting the area this Fall.
