Gorgeous Mountain Home #2

Adorable owners, beautiful home. However it was filthy dusty, 1 of our people couldn’t even stay due to her allergies & had to go find a hotel in town! The driveway & walk up to the house was so steep that 1 of the other ladies almost had a heart attack to get to house!!!! Really should warn people about that prior to signing! There were spider webs & dead bugs everywhere! The live ones came out at night. And the WORST part was The upstairs renters. It sounded like a heard of cattle running through the house! They were up late & got up early, so I got NO REST!!!!! Very disappointed, would not recommend unless you want to have a miserable weekend!

We ended up not staying. In addition to the incorrect directions to get there (I finally had to call Al, who gave us completely different directions than were provided), there were two categories of issues. The owner was EXTREMELY defensive, denying any of the documented problems existed.

First, the property was not at all as described. There was nowhere to park- attempting to park on the street immediately resulted in a near collision, and with a little rain the drive was so slick a nearly new sedan could not ascend. That's a different story from the listing, which says the drive is usable and you can safely park on the street. I nearly lost my footing several times, getting tangled in the hoses lying in the narrow path and attempting to avoid the ladder lying near the stairs to the door. There was also tree overgrowth we had the duck to avoid- very unsafe in the dark.

While we knew there was another nearby cabin, the ad did not indicate they were stacked apartment style - it specifically said they were both very private. We heard every word and every footstep in the upper cabin. We went up to the patio to see what kind of raging party they were having, only to find they were quietly chatting and watching TV - the cabin were just built in a way that amplified the noise.

Also, it was extremely cramped. The "spacious living" in the listing translated to a dining table shoved up against the railing, and a master bedroom with a double bed against a wall on 2 sides, so that only one person could sleep in it (unless you are able to climb off the end, over the sofa, parkour style).

On to the poor conditions. The door and security door were misaligned, so neither could be locked. There were no keys, so we could not secure our belongings if we wished to leave the rental, and as mentioned, people were staying immediately above us.

There was a strong odor of sulphur throughout the main floor. It wasn't skunk as the owner asserted- I know what that smells like. We tried opening the windows to clear it, but as there were no screens on the windows, the bugs flying outside immediately began to invade. We tried moving to an upstairs bedroom, but the bed up there appeared to have been slept in already. Same with towels in the upstairs bath.

As mentioned, there were hoses running all over outside, including in front of the door. A ladder was lying in the path, and a mop and some tools/equipment were lying around too. Ugly and super unsafe. Don't stay!!

We rented both cabins for a retreat on Mt. Lemmon. Our stay was a true delight!!! We are very thankful for the owners (who are very kind and accommodating) and their excellent hospitality (they create such a warm and comfortable environment). Everything we needed for our stay was already thought through and handled. We highly recommend these cabins for anyone looking forward to a great time on Mt. Lemmon!!

The cabin was beautiful, the only bad thing about the cabin it was under construction. Workers arrived at the cabin about8am (hammering, drilling, and etc) when i was hoping to sleep in for a few. Also, the cabin stated that it would.have Wi-Fi but it was not available . For not having any of those the owners let us check out later then 11am.

Beautiful cabin in a great location! Walking distance to the little town but without the noise of the main road. Plenty of sleeping areas and easy to use kitchen. We enjoyed our stay!
