  5/5

  This cute, super stylish, uber clean property with comfy beds, nice kitchen and outside area was perfect for our stay during our son's wedding weekend. The house is just a short walk to the square with great restaurants, bars, close to gelato and coffee shops! We have only wonderful things to say about this location and the lil house! Loved our stay 100 percent.

• Bed less than desirable

  2/5

  Location good; quiet neighborhood; quick access to downtown.

  However, the queen bed drops 4 inches in the middle after just one minute of laying down....no rest after a long day. the next night I had to sleep in the BR#2 on a twin bed which was sufficient for a decent sleep.

  The Futon in the living room...I understand its purpose, it's just not good for relaxing/TV viewing.

  The yard was not mowed and the bushes were not trimmed, and what's with the dead tree?

  Strange thing...there were about 20 dead flies on the bathroom floor and tub???Weird!

  Disappointed.

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Harry, we take guest feedback seriously and passed your comments on to the homeowner who would like to share the following:
  - I am sorry to hear that your stay was disappointing. I’d like to address your issues directly. The lawn care could not be done the week prior to your trip because we had several days of rain, as you also experienced during your 2-night stay. It was in fact, done on Monday, which was the first dry day to accomplish it. Not much we can do to change the weather.
  - In regard to the dead tree, it is under the care of an arborist. Our area is in the midst of the worst drought in history, which followed an unprecedented freeze. Many trees in our region are in “limbo” and are being watched for signs of life before being removed. This is one of those trees.
  - I am disappointed you did not contact me about the issue with the bed. I went to check on it immediately after receiving your review to investigate. It appears one of the leg braces needed to be adjusted. I am sad to learn that you had a poor night's sleep. This was something we could have corrected in 1 minute, had you contacted us, as requested if you had any issues. Ironically, the guest who immediately followed you (before I received your review) left a lovely review in our book about how clean the place was and how comfortable the beds were. So clearly it was not an issue for everyone.
  - I don’t know anything about dead flies. I can’t even say that I have seen live flies in the house. So yes, I would say this is very weird.
  - Again, I am sorry to hear you had a disappointing stay. I would question if it was indeed a 2-star stay, given many of the issues were either easily resolvable, personal preferences, or beyond our control. Perhaps a 4-star review would be more appropriate given your feedback?
  We do all we can to make the best possible stay, and we look forward to this property hosting many satisfied guests.

• PERFECT charming weekend getaway

  5/5

  WOW! This place was so much fun. We loved the retro furnishings and cooked on the cool stove. It was definitely before my time so I HAD to try it out! You can walk to all the shops on the square from here too. The cool weather made it even better! We didn't detect any foul smell at all like the last review had mentioned, so I would assume the owner fixed it. It smelled clean and fresh! The beds were comfy and we had a nice relaxing stay. We would definitely recommend this place and will be back next time we visit Blanco!
