Needs improvement, so much potential
Our family booked a 2-night stay for a ski trip for President's Weekend. What mattered to us the most was cleanliness and comfort of a home as we were looking to cook dinners in the property (i.e., we were focused on a property with a full kitchen, grill, woodstove, etc.).
1. The property was generally clean and charming ("rustic", as advertised!) and we were impressed upon entering. Check-in was very easy. 4-5 star experience!
2. Unfortunately the charm wore off quickly as we noticed a constant problem with flies. Not sure why the property had so many flies just appear both alive and dead, especially in the bedrooms. Maybe we just had a bad experience, but it was concerning to see so many flies in 20-degree weather...
3. Too many things did not work as advertised. The grill did not work (a big decision factor for us), and the indoor kitchen grill was only partially functioning. The listing also advertised a fireplace, but we were told to not use the woodstoves only after a non-refundable booking was made. Just to add salt to the wound, their wine opener was also broken...
4. Also note the mattress in the bedroom with the bathroom is uncomfortable. The mattress is thin, flimsy, and unbalanced.
In summary, we thought the place had potential. The rustic aesthetics is very charming and the property was overall pretty clean (except for the fly problem). It's just things didn't work as advertised, which can't be overlooked.
