エレガントなワイルド・スワン・リトリート・センター

We would definitely have you back again! So glad you enjoyed yourselves!

We were so happy to host you a second time and look forward to your return either at our Wild Swan Retreat Treehouse or The Wild Swan Retreat Center. Thanks for choosing our property for your vacation!

So happy you enjoyed yourself! We’d welcome you back anytime!

We’re so pleased you enjoyed our property and the evening wildlife shows! I try to capture what the property looks like at different times of the year in the posted photos. Spring and early summer look the best in terms of new growth and flowers 💐 but it changes all the time as it’s a live forest that surrounds us. We do our best to not let it take over but help is scarce these days.

Thank you! I’m so happy you enjoyed your stay! We had some problems securing a reliable gardener this year and our mower broke down just before your stay. Usually it’s more manicured but like you I prefer the wild look. 😄 Hope you come back again! It was a pleasure to host you!

Motion Sensor Blink cameras are a standard security measure hosts take to ensure the security of guests and their belongings. There was no spying, just a 5 second recording of movement, in case of a security issue that needs attention. The cameras also alert us to movement when we don't have guests and are a necessary security measure for us in our remote area. Since there was a concern about spiders, I thought it a good idea for the door not to be left open for an extended time. Many critters in our woods, large and small, find an open door an invitation. A text reminder seemed prudent. As for the lights - when guests do not turn off lights when leaving or turning in for the night, the bulbs burn out and need replacing so we ask our guests to turn off lights when not needed - this conserves energy, bulbs and minimizes light pollution in our natural forest environment. From our home and when driving by we noticed outdoor porch lights left on in the middle of the night and during the day when no one was there, so texted a reminder. I didn't receive a communication about bulbs needing replacement and I regret that they burned out during this stay. We try to identify and replace all bulbs between guests. Also, the communication I received about spider webs was that they were in a corner of our front bathroom (near a window), not throughout the house. My housekeeping service assured me that they had been and are thorough in their clearing of webs but spiders can find their way in and are active in the Springtime. When I was contacted about spider webs, my housekeeper was not available immediately, so my spouse and co-owner of the property (not friend) promptly came to clean out the webs that had developed in the days since the full cleaning service (they come with their own vacuum equipped with all attachments). My spouse noted that there were minimal webs to be removed but cleaned the area fully. Our cleaning fee is a standard amount for a 2800 sq foot 3 bed 2 bath house in our area. Unfortunately, trash collection service isn't available in our remote area. That's an inconvenient reality, so we have to ask our guests to do as we do and take their trash to a container site on their way out, or pay our housekeeping service to do so. This is specified in our listing and rental agreement upon booking. It's unfortunate these issues ruined this guest's experience. Please consider our many other guest reviews.
