Thank you for the wonderful review! It was great having you! You are always welcome back.

Thank you Sonya for the great review! We do love our house and try to think of all the things you might need while away on vacation. Although I don’t remember buying a lemon zester? Hahaha. Your family was wonderful and left the house beautiful. Come back anytime. We’ll be happy to have you back!

This review was absolutely expected after this guest demanded a refund in order to “make him happy”. I did offer to refund his money to leave early, but he wanted to stay for free. Unfortunately, I could not get him out of my home fast enough, even with offering a refund. We have a strict no pets policy. We did a deep clean upon his exit, and there was no cat hair anywhere to be seen, and after crawling all over the floors in the house, could not find any urine anywhere. The carpets were just shampooed June 30th, 5 weeks prior to this stay. Ironically, per this guest, “the urine smell dissipated by the end of the week and wasn’t so bad” which was why we couldn't smell it. The BBQ was also brand new and only 5 weeks old. It was clean, but we neglected to replace the disposable drain catch underneath the BBQ and were completely transparent about that misstep. Rather than remove and replace the container with the extra disposable pans offered to him, Our guest opted to reach out to me multiple times throughout the week to complain that he couldn’t use it. We also have a strict quiet time policy on the deck after 10pm as a part of the rental agreement. This is a neighborhood and guests that stay out late at night and have a blatant disregard for our community are not welcome. While I understand people are on vacation and want to have fun on the deck, we do have to be respectful outside during quiet hours. Another reason this guest is not welcome back. We have never had problems with any of the neighbours, and in fact, they have helped us out quite a bit when there are snow storms by clearing out the driveway with the backhoe. For those curious, there are also multiple affordable hotels, inns and short term rental homes in Lakehead within walking distance and up to 1 mile of our home, should you need additional accommodations. Please reach out for recommendations. :) We love our house, our neighborhood, and 99% of our guests. We have a beautiful log-style cabin with boat slip and amazing amenities for a really affordable rental price. We are beyond blessed and generally enjoy sharing our home with respectful guests. This guest is not welcome back and our similarly negative review of his treatment of our home and his communication style demanding refund to "make him happy" reflects our terrible experience with him.
