Spacious home, great location

Overall no issues. Plenty of space for our large group. Only problem was in the listing, it advertised an additonal queen bed in one of the down stairs bed rooms, however it had been replaced by 2 twins. That was slightly disappointing since that extra queen was a big draw for us and meant one of the adults had to squeeze into a twin. Really just a simple listing correction. Had a great stay and would stay again

Good location to town, good amount of room, just in need of some tlc

The home does not have a fireplace even though the link provided in the checkin email states it does as well as the welcome binder in the house. The downstairs is freezing since the only thermostat is upstairs. The master bedroom doesn’t have blinds or curtains so it is very bright in the morning and unable to sleep in. All of the towels were damp when we arrived so we had to take them all down and dry them. The kitchen table was still dirty so we had to clean that when we arrived. None of the leaves were sweeper off of the decking which was dangerous hazard causing the steps to be very slick so we had to take care of that as well. The hot tub was not working properly but the owner quickly responded to help us troubleshoot the issue unfortunately took it a day to warm up once we figured it out. The vacuum doesn’t work so we were unable to vacuum up the rug while we were there. The garage door is broken, the assembly has come off the wall. There isn’t a good view but it is very close to town which was helpful. The place provided many kitchen utensils which was nice.

Thank you for the feedback on this review. I do wish that we had been notified about the cleaning and leaf concerns during your stay as our caretakers do take great pride in their work and efforts and try very hard to make sure the house is ready for each guest. We usually get high praise about them. We do not claim or advertise either the garage or a fireplace as an amenity on any booking website. We do have a firepit outside and are looking into plans for a fireplace, but we did not advertise one to this guest in their decision to book our home. This is a second home and we use the garage for personal storage and do not count it in the parking options. We may consider this in the future but have not had a request for it. Thank you for your feedback about not feeling comfortable with the temperature variations with the thermostat. We have taken this feedback seriously and have purchased additional heaters for every bedroom in order to allow the guests to better regulate the temperature that makes each of them comfortable. I greatly enjoy the view of the mountains being straight out from the cabin as it makes me feel like I'm in the midst of them. The sunrise view over the mountains along with the sound of Lands Creek down below and proximity to town and the national park entrance is why we chose this property for our family. This is our mountain home, and we love to share it with others and do our best to provide a great experience and value.

We had an excellent time at the cabin. It was minutes away from the town we visit each year and very cozy. We had plenty of room for our party of 13 people.
