This is an awesome place! My friends and I rented the place for the weekend, lured in by the promise of the hot tub. Now, everything was as advertised, though there are a few annoyances that, though noticeable, weren’t dealbreakers for us. But it’s these that can’t let me give it a perfect rating. Each of them on their own wouldn’t even be worth mentioning, but together, it leaves an impression.
1. Hot tub wasn’t on level ground...
2. Hot tub had to be “prepped.” (Takes a while for the tub to heat the water. As in, if you plan to use it, gotta keep it on, otherwise, you’re going to have to wait)
3. During our weekend, Internet was down. (This will probably be fixed, as the owner did communicate that he was transferring service during our stay)
4. Cell phone reception is bad here. (T-Mobile) though my friends could get, at max, 2 bars for reception.
5. Our host had warned us about this, but with 6 people, someone was bound to forget: don’t operate the microwave and the hot tub at the same time. (We lost power to the first floor, tripped a breaker or blew a fuse)
6. Stairs. Lots of stairs.
But there are soooo many nice things about the stay. The furniture and beds were exactly like in the picture. The host had drinks and snacks available for us when we got there! The place is fully furnished, as in utensils, pots/pans! We were tempted to use the pancake mix and have pancakes. Place was well maintained, and clean. Best of all, host was very responsive, even during off hours.
This place is value. Imho, you’re not going to get more bang for your dollars than here. It’s, by far, not just a place with a bed. It’s also not the ritz. It’s like the Costco of stays. You get what you want, and more, but just like a Kirkland variety pack, there is just one flavor that, compared to the other flavors, stands out in its mediocrity. But it’s the whole package, so what can you do?
