Not the experience we hoped for

I have booked a lot of properties on vrbo's competitor sites but not much on vrbo. We booked this property for our daughter's wedding dinner and communicated to the host how many people etc..and we paid for 5 stay over guests and we had 16 confirmed authorized guests with 4 more that came later. I had to sign another contract and pay for day guests and the host came onto the property in the back when we were having dinner and took pictures of our dinner guests. I didn't know what was happening at the time but a conversation was happening with the host and my daughter and other guests in the front. The host was angry we had more day guests than agreed and I was suppose to drop what I was doing for my daughters wedding and report the additional guests and then was charged an extra $420 for the guests not on the paper/contract (another one separate from a vrbo contract) I signed...not sure the host has proof of who was authorized and who was not and there was no time in the contract that stated I had to notify by a specific time. I felt bullied and threatened by the host who ranted about insurance reporting and how vrbo wouldn't allow the number of guests I had. My daughter the bride was extremely upset at the unwarranted and stalking nature of the host. Needless to say the host made our wedding dinner memorable for the wrong reason. The property was beautiful but not worth how we were treated and we were told that my family likes drama etc...I have never been monitored, stalked by a host before and then have to pay for it. Vrbo doesn't make it easy to contact them to discuss the issues that come up either.

Echo, we were so very clear both in our conversation and on the written contract that you signed that our insurance required us to specify the number of people in your party. We spoke to you of the group that had 40 unexpected people at our property and that we now charge a fine if there are more people than specified. When we saw so many more cars than could possibly be required for the number of people indicated in the contract, I did not know of any other means of verifying your numbers but to take a picture. The irony was that your daughter had originally booked the total number of extra guests and then canceled them just two days before.

A Nice Retreat

Overall a lovely place to stay. Some fitted window screens to keep out the flies and window coverings for privacy would make it even better.

Beautiful home. I would say more geared to older kids and adults.

Easy to book. House was large and inviting. Great location. Very quiet. Bring your eye mask as most rooms didn’t have blinds or curtains. Beautiful view but So super early mornings with the sun.

Great experience.

Great place with River views and non-stop dear wandering into garden. No air conditioning. Killer on +30 days. Fun place to congregate. A big worn and dared but a nice experience. Beds need an upgrade. Kids sink to middle of one. Nice new barbecue.

Great Escape!

Had a great time exploring the uniqueness of this house. Beautiful view from the master bedroom, even laying in the jet tub! Great photo opportunity in every room, loved the different stairs cases. No curtains on any of the windows & Ice maker didn’t work. Norah was quick to answer any questions we had, all in all a peaceful relaxing place!

Lovely place

Stayed here for 4 nights. Very unique property with beautiful scenery from back deck. Owners were very friendly and easy to communicate with. House was clean and beds were comfortable. Lots of fun exploring house and drumheller. Overall a great place to stay. Some blinds in the master bedroom / bath would be nice for more privacy.

Thank you for the lovely review. We have debated about putting blinds in the Master Bedroom but are loath to block any of the amazing view. Consequently, we have put in the 5-foot wide room divider, which can be moved to where ever you are comfortable best utilizing it. Most people leave it folded up. One would have to have a telescope and sit out on the riverbank across the way to be able to spoil the privacy.

Where the deer and the antelope play.

Really unusual experience. In a good way. Peaceful. The home is as pictured. Kids loved it. On three separate occasions we found deer feeding in the yard. Cool Knick knacks throughout the house mesmerized the kids. Nora was terrific. A one of a kind. experience.

Drumheller Stay

Lovely house , it is exactly as depicted online. We had a marvelous time , however there was some stress with our young children( aged 4 & 2) because the decks did not have railing. Hosts were very friendly and helpful .

Fantasy property in a good location

The place is awesome. It's huge with unique/interesting touch all over the house. Kind of older fancy style with touch of modern. Almost like a small castle feeling to it. The place has a full kitchen with everything u might need. The master bedroom is beautiful. Large and have jetted tub. The view of the bedroom is gorgeous. Backyard is perfect for that summer hang out spot. Good overall and highly recommend.

Lovely place for a family getaway

This character home was a great place for us to bring our family for a short trip to Drumheller. Home was as described as shown in the ad and worked well for us and 5 kids between the age of 8 and 12. The home is very full of treasures to explore (rocks, fossils, Knick knacks, books and decor item), perhaps not appropriate for younger children, but wonderful for our kids to enjoy. Was near all amenities and attractions in the area. A couple small recommendations we will share with the homeowner, but overall a good rental experience which we were so happy to find in the area.

Unique house on the river

Unique space to use as home base to explore Drumheller. Enjoyed being on the river with a beautiful backyard garden with deer munching away at twilight.

Beautiful cottage on the river

A quiet and friendly neighborhood with easy access to all the essentials (groceries, liquor store, gas station etc). The location is also very central to all the touristy spots so that was really convenient. Received a warm welcome from Norah and she was really responsive with all the questions and concerns we had. The property itself felt like something out of a fairytale book with  alot character and quaintness to it. The only drawbacks were, there was enough room for 6 adults to have proper sleeping space, the master bedroom has a king size bed worked well for a couple, second room has a queen size bed which was decent for the second couple however the bed itself was quite uncomfortable with a sinking mattress. The third bedroom has a double bed that really wasn't ideal for 2 grownups so one person ended up on the coach without any spare blankets. The backyard is beautiful and spacious however the deck is kind of falling apart with some structural construction still on the go, so that kind of took away from a backyard deck small gathering for a quiet 70th birthday occasion we had. Having said all that, overall we had a great experience and would recommend the property given a few things to consider before booking.

Thank you for your review. Being newly opened we are working hard to provide a delightful experience. The board that was soft on the deck has been replaced and our new metal roof for the house is two weeks off of completion. We had anticipated with Covid that there would be lots of trades available to complete this work long ago, but it has proved to take longer than anticipated. The memory foam on the queen bed in the first Guest Room was intended to be a luxurious topper but the bed is new and perhaps would be more comfortable without it. A second new queen bed for the third room arrives tomorrow. Our apologies that the double bed had not been replaced prior to your arrival and that the upgrades to extend the roof on the back deck was intrusive. We also will be sure to include in our orientation information that extra bedding is available in the linen closet in the laundry room.
