Come make a new tradition for your family.

House was very hot when we got there. There was no air conditioning and no outside vent for an air conditioner to work. No WiFi from the house. Had drive 20 min bf we got cell service. Made multiple calls to both owner cell phones without answer and unable to leave message bc voice mail on both phones were full. The house is advertised as having air conditioning but it does not. Afternoon sun comes in those big front windows and really heats up the house. No blinds or curtains to block it. The bedroom on the ground floor was very small, all closed up and smelled musty and dank. I am allergic to mold. The smell was fairly strong but could not open windows as 100degrees outside and extremely Smokey. There was a heat and smoke advisory out for the area. Initially I thought I must have misread the ad bc it seemed insane someone would say the home had air conditioning when it did not. We eventually left as we could see no way the situation could be resolved. The owner did call us back as we left Salmon and acknowledged our concerns about the heat but said nothing about an air conditioner. I looked up the listing again and saw that air conditioning was listed as one of the 3 top amenities in the home. Owner was again not available but talked to his wife or girlfriend who was surprised that air conditioning was listed with amenities and stated this seemed like false advertising and she was going to talk to her partner about it. She also stated “believe me I know how hot it gets in there.” The owner returned my call that night. As for the air conditioner, he said there was one in the master bedroom closet. We did not check the closets for an air conditioner so I can’t say if that’s true or not. The owner said it would have at least cooled the bedroom. However air conditioners that work by a hose through the window do not have a filter and would have brought smokey air in. Not acceptable for someone with asthma. Owner also argued house was high enough in elevation that it would have eventually cooled itself off. These are all irrelevant factors as he claimed the property was air conditioned when it was not. This is our first bad HomeAway experience. Not just about wasting our money, our vacation time, gas and hotel fees. It was an 18 hour round trip with no vacation to be had. Owner said a refund was out of the question. I notice there is only one recent review. Perhaps the quality has changed. Don’t come in the summer if it’s hot.
