I don't know that I have ever left a unfavorable review but I'm afraid I have to do so for this place. Communication with the owner was extremely lacking and brief from the beginning. Check in time on his site said 4 p.m. but when we arrived a little after that he made us wait outside until 4:30. We were not able to get into use the kitchen for another hour and it was not very clean. Other people had some of the same difficulties that we did with checking in and finding nobody there and having to call a phone number standing there waiting for up to 15 minutes for someone to come. there was no heat in the entire house and when I brought this to the attention of the owner the next morning he mentioned something about the pilot light being out but he made no attempt to fix it or offer any other means to keep warm. It dropped down into the low fifties at night and coming from the hotter lower elevations it was extremely cold.
Overall, the place needs a very deep cleaning and decluttering and new paint all around. The worst parts just seem to be the lack of care from the owner, the coldness of the place, and the cleanliness. I wish that we would have spent a little bit more money and found a place a little bit nicer and that more people had been able to share their experiences in their reviews to help other Travelers.
