You are perfect guests and always welcomed!

This guest was impossible to please, nitpicking, critical, complainer. Ive hosted since 2019 with high reviews, and never experienced anything like this. Upon booking she asked for seating for 8 for a Thanksgiving dinner. I agreed and brought in a larger table top and purchased new extra chairs. I even set a beautiful, festive Thanksgiving table for 8 as a nice surprise. I had a bottle of wine, assorted beverages and munchies in the frig with a welcome note...what I would appreciate after a long drive. There were fresh flowers in every room. The fireplaces were set with kindling and wood, ready to light. I go the extra mile. I care. However, nothing pleased this woman who criticized everything and complained. Her first complaints were that the outside trash recepticle had garbage bags in it and the coffee pot wasnt adaquate. I dont control trash pick up schedules but I had a new can delivered that same day with Keurigs largest new coffee maker with a box of pods. Direct TV had temporary issues which are certainly beyond my control. She even criticized and demeaned the decorating, knowing that is my profession. Its a mystery why she rented it if she didnt like the decor. The pictures are very clear. In a mean spirited note left to me, she complained that the carved bear outside the bathroom window made her uncomfortable that it was probably equipped with a camera and a teddy bear on a hallway shelf she moved because it looked like a nanny cam; she got lint on her body from a towel; the 3rd bathroom looked like a dungeon; and the sleek black toilets " unnerved" her. She told me I should not even be hosting because I obviously lived there. (My listing states this is my mountain retreat and the point of VRBO etc, is to offer ones home to travelers.) She also complained about my leaving bottles of drugs ( which are vitamins) which she only would have seen going through my private drawers! She never mentioned that someone spilled something on my newly shampooed rug and didnt bother to try to blot it up, which I didnt see until a few days later, putting back furniture she had rearranged. Re: the lighting: I didnt think I'd have to explain to someone how 3 way bulbs and dimmers work, with the option of low to bright light. Most of the lamps/ fixtures have this feature. There are 9 lamps in the great room, also ceiling spots and 2 skylights! There are at least 2 lamps in every room plus ceiling light. Had she told me about the lighting, I could have enlightened ( no pun intended) her. However, the house is in the forest with 40 ft trees. It will never be "operation room" bright. I have a kitchen trash can and provide kitchen size trashbags that fit into the cabinet. The flat-screen TV fits in a custom cabinet that raises out of the cabinet by remote control. If you Google gas heaters it will tell you they are noisier than electric but it definitely is not loud. In winter in the mountains you do have to wait a bit for the hot water to reach the farthest faucets. None of these complaints have ever surfaced before. There was no mention of the new, upgraded, beautiful things, that are the result of a $140,000 recent remodel/refurbishing or the magnificent forest setting along the creek. In spite of this unpleasant and unkind experience, I will continue to host and honor my guests in the manner in which I would want at the lovely Creekside Paradise. If you have read this far, please read my other reviews and look again at the pictures. I believe you can judge for yourself.

My absolute pleasure! You are welcome back anytime. Late spring and summer are even better. Thanks for being perfect guests,
