Soda Springs was great, but the experience at the property was disappointing for the following reasons: a) we booked with specific intention to consider our options and the host did not honor the stated cancellation; b) the heating in the basement was non-functional (host offered space heaters, but only after we already squeezed upstairs and in general something we prefer not to do); and c) general condition of the house was overstated (very few trash cans, lots of spiders, sparse/cheap linens, bear box was full and I had to repack trash).
The heat not working in particular took away the game and bunk room, which was the main draw for us given our young kids. I was disappointed that we were only offered 25% of our total cost, only after I had suggested it seemed appropriate, and only if I agreed not to write a review about the experience.
In all, it felt like a low-end experience.
