  1/5

  We booked the stay and recieved all of the confirmation emails like we should. Had it scheduled and got a message to contact the owner prior to getting there so we could get instruction son how to get in. Took a few tries to get the owner but when we did we found out the owner had no idea we were staying there and the house had been closed and winterized. He was out of town and his manager was out of town. Sorry about you luck. The only good thing about the stay was that we are local so we just went somewhere else. If I were coming in from out of state driving or flying somehwere i would have been up the creek. There is nothing else in the area. Each group seems to blame the other but. This property is owned by one persona and managed by a firm that posts properties on VRBO. not vrbo's fault. just to many hands in the cookie jar with little concern for the actual customer in my opinion.

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Michael, we take it seriously when guests let us know that we missed the mark, and after sending your feedback to the homeowner, they’d like to share the following:
  - This problem is completely my fault. I truly apologize for this mistake. I had problems with my locally provided email and changed my email address. This is why you were unable to communicate with me.
  - Since the property had not been listed for well more than a year, I failed to keep up with the listing and I apologize for this.
  - The home will continue to not be listed now for another year. We do have high standards of hospitality and understand how important communication is to our guests.
  - Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on your stay so we can continue to enhance the guest experience.

• Wonderful Views, Very Special Place

  5/5

  I was here nearly two weeks in early October, and this place really grew on me - golden eagles, coyotes singing in the night, rabbits, wild turkeys, hawks, woodpeckers, geese, ducks, meteorites in a beautiful night sky, and gorgeous sunrises and sunsets - and no neighbors, so very quiet. If you're interested in geology, this area is chock-full of interesting things, from the nearby Jurassic tracksite to Devil's Kitchen (which can be seen from the property in the distance) to beautiful Shell Canyon and of course the Bighorns. The restoration and addition to the old school house has been done with loving care. It's a really unique and wonderful property in a beautiful setting with views in every direction and lots of history. Communication was great, and Fain even messaged me to check on things when a big storm came through. No mosquitoes in October, just lots of fall color. An unforgettable place.

• Beautiful, historic schoolhouse!

  5/5

  We had a fantastic stay at the historic schoolhouse - such a unique experience! The home was very comfortable and had everything we needed to enjoy our vacation, right down to the beautiful sunsets every night. The location was also great, with downtown Shell, the dinosaur tracks, Shell Falls and Bighorn Canyon just a short drive away and well worth checking out. (Aspire coffee shop in Shell is AMAZING.) We also drove around Route 14, which has great views and lots of places to stop and wander.Overall, a great place and fantastic home! Thank you for letting us stay!

• A fantastic place

  5/5

  This property is full of historic charm.

  The owners have a big library with locally relevant items as well as lots of western stuff.

  It is very private and everything is provided at a beautiful setting. The only suggestion is that the 2 main beds have box springs could use mattresses on top of the box springs rather than thick foam.
