‘A Beautiful View’ Cabin: Game Room & Hot Tub

Reviews

• Sorry, not worth the money charged.

  2/5

  We had issues as soon as we arrived at the property. It was a rainy weekend. We tracked in dirt and leaves but we were unable to find a broom to clean up our mess. I called our host and they did not answer. They didn't have a voice-mail either so I wasn't able to leave a message. I decided to sent an email but I never received a response. The cabins description says it will sleep 10, however, the dining table only seats 4. The water pressure was less than adequate. We discovered a leaking water line outside between the well and the cabin. Which was running across the parking area and along the foundation if the cabin. There was a hole in top floor bedroom between the floor boards, looking into the bedroom below. Pool table in lower level in desperate need of repair, leveling, and broken pool sticks. Main level bath tub faucet needs replaced/repaired. Shower head and tub head full of calcium build up. Which only provided a dribble of water. Upper lever shower need repair to the door latch. Door will not stay completely closed, which causes water to leak on the floor. Could result into major water issues.

  Good notes, beds were in good shape. All bed sheets, blankets etc were clean and neat. Towels, and wash cloths were clean. Dishes, cups, cutlery etc were clean. Sofas on main level were comfortable. TV's all work as they should with plenty of viewing options. Netflix, etc. Heat and AC worked correctly.

  Hi Shelley, thank you for taking the time to share your review. We greatly appreciate your feedback, and we would like to share some insights from the homeowner:
  -We're delighted to learn that you found the comfort of the home and amenities enjoyable.
  -We've recently identified and swiftly repaired the leaking well line. Regarding the availability of a broom in the cabin, our local host has assured us of submitting pictures to showcase its presence.
  -Concerning the pool table, it underwent leveling and repairs within the last six months due to a guest-induced issue. Additionally, the pool sticks were replaced during that maintenance, as verified by our cleaner's images indicating the use of non-broken sticks.
  -The main floor tub faucet has been replaced, and plans are underway for the replacement of shower heads. It's believed that the well leak might have contributed to the water pressure issues, which have since been resolved. Additionally, we were unaware of the shower door concern, and we're addressing it promptly upon receiving this feedback.
  We do all we can to make the best possible stay, and we look forward to this property hosting many satisfied guests.

• Not very clean

  3/5

  Pictures of property were not accurate. The outward appearance was as if it was run down. Inside was very dirty, cobweb's were hanging everywhere. The front door had trash swept up behind it. The outside chairs were damaged and some were even thrown over the balcony. In the game room down stairs there were a pair of women's underwear hanging on the dart board. I also have pictures of the findings that I have mentioned.

• Very nice overall

  4/5

  While the property was beautiful, it would have been nice to have some cleaning supplies available. There was a broom, but no dustpan and no mop (it was raining and even though we were careful, we did track in some mud). Also there was no stopper available for the kitchen sink. Everyone else said their beds were comfortable, the bed upstairs in the big room was very hard and bouncy. I would stay there again, just bring extra “comfort” items.
