Amazing house and location - cleanliness needed attention

We had a fantastic weekend at Lancewood Lodge! The house is beautiful and eclectic, with plenty of space and a warm, welcoming vibe that made it a great retreat for our group. However, we did notice a few areas where cleanliness could be improved. The upstairs bathrooms and shower could have used a more thorough clean, and we found crumbs and food scraps on the tables and benches, as well as someone’s blister skin on one of the bedside tables. There were also a few dead bugs on the floor (to be expected in a rural area, of course). Overall, we really enjoyed our stay, but a bit more attention to cleaning would make it perfect!

Awesome House and Views

This house was awesome with breath taking views. It had heaps of room, catering for 12 of us. Plenty of plates, glasses and utensils for us all. The fire was amazing and very warm.

A great find

We booked this house at fairly short notice and were charmed by the area. It's a very special place and we enjoyed the relaxation. The house is very rustic but it's quirks just make it better.

Great weekend get away from the city

Nice experience, a unique the property has a good rustic feel to it if you’re looking to get out and enjoy nature for the weekend. Lots of space for a big group. Could do with some upgrades to some of the beds sometime soon but besides that really nice.

Beautiful and Rustic house

We enjoyed our stay at this property with few friends. The rustic decor was an instant wow factor. All the required facilities were provided as indicated in the listing. A dishwasher would have been helpful considering the large group eating 3 times on a holiday for 3 days. We would love to stay here again sometime in future. Thank you.

How’s the serenity

Excellent time here! Easy access to beautiful walks. Wonderful location. Found the house needed a little TLC but wasn’t much of an issue at all. A lot of bugs during summer pack some fly spray!

Mt Lyford

Pretty good overall although there were a few things.....no can opener, oven didn't work at all well very difficult when you are feeding 14 people you need the oven to work. Th downstairs bed could have a more comfortable mattress it rolls all into the middle. Location perfect and all the rest was as well great relaxing weekend away.

Response from VrboOwner on 30 Mar 2020
As per December 2020 both the stove and the bed in the downstairs bedroom has been replaced. Thank you for your review. It is unfortunate that you did not mention any of these issues while you were here. Not even when we saw you on the Sunday afternoon. This does not leave us in a position to try and help you. We did notice that the dish that was in the oven was too big so this would have influenced any oven operation negatively. Sometimes guests do 'take' things so if an item is not there then we are more than prepared to provide this. Just a pity you did not mention any of this to us.
