Loft in Paradise 5 miles from Nisqually entrance to Mt Rainier Longmire Paradise

Kimberly, It is obvious that you did not read the listing when you were booking this loft. It CLEARLY states that there is another rental above and that you WILL hear them. Please go back and look at the listing so that you realize that this was in fact stated. The guests above have also agreed to be mindful of noise when they book. Also, when you booked you were well within the no refund cancellation period but you asked me if you could change the dates because of your own personal reasons. I could very well have declined your request for any reason whatsoever but I changed your reservation for you immediately because I know life happens and that's the human thing to do as well as being an accommodating host. As far as the WiFi is concerned, I have not heard complaints from any other guests. When I am cleaning the places, I have excellent reception. The only time reception is bad is when it is raining heavily which is out of my control. If you look at the entire listing, as anyone booking a property should responsibly do, under Rules and Policies there are notes: 1)Guest apartment above loft and you will hear them 2)Please confirm via message that you understand there is a possibility of noise from rental space above. Those guests are asked to be mindful of noise. Kimberly, you did not send me a message to confirm so you did not read the listing. For anyone booking a place on ANY platform, PLEASE do be responsible and read the listing in its entirety and look at the photos before making a conscious decision to book someone’s property. You are hurting other people when you do not do your own due diligence and then leave bad reviews after your stay. Decide whether or not the place is suited to your wants and needs. If it is not then please do not book a place then complain about it and leave a bad review after you have stayed. This is an unfair practice that has a truly negative impact on small individual owners who rent out their places as their sole livelihood. Thoughtless negative reviews can be absorbed by larger hotel chains and vacation rental companies whereas small owners cannot afford to have bad reviews and strive to offer a 10/10 experience. If this space does not suit your needs, there are many larger cabins and a hotel lodge in Ashford that would most likely satisfy the accommodations you are seeking, but be prepared to pay 3-5 times the price. Please take the time to look at the listing and then book mindfully so that you are not disappointed and leave thoughtless, unwarranted negative reviews that negativley impact peoples lives and ability to make a modest living in the place they live.

Yes we are definitely in the woods here which is what makes this place so beautiful and peaceful and there are creatures of all sorts. Deer, elk, rabbits, raccoons, garter snakes, frogs, moles, shrews, and the little harmless spiders that take care of the bugs. Wipe them away one day and find new ones the next. They are harmless and just part of the environment. Absolutely NO insecticides are used indoors.

You must not have read the listing in its entirety where it is clearly stated that there is another unit above and that you WILL hear them. Not sure how to get potential guests to read the property description. Otherwise, thank you for the nice review and we are happy that you enjoyed your stay.

I do all the cleaning myself and did not see as many spider webs as you stated in the review. Hopefully you appreciated how clean the place was in general. We are in the woods here and in the summer the spiders are very active and I choose not to use pesticides for health and environmental reasons. I wipe them down when I see them but they build them back just as quickly. They are harmless and just a part of living out here in this beautiful wooded area. The webs are definitely not an indication that the place had not been cleaned well. Also the listing states that the loft ceiling is low. You must not have read the listing in it's entirety if that took you by surprise.
