We had a lovely time and appreciated being able to use the fire. In general, the property was great and well equipped. The only down side was the need for a deep clean. There appeared to be a build up of accumulated dust including the fire grill. There was plenty of cleaning equipment and we could have done it ourselves but didn't expect to need to. The communication with the property manager could have been better and seemed very last minute. When co-ordinating 8 adults to go there it would have been nice to have information more than 2 days before hand despite asking for it earlier.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay and the use of the fire. I take a great deal of pride in presenting the property and creating a comfortable and enjoyable stay for guests, with ongoing updates and improvements including refreshed décor, regularly updated bedding and duvet covers, and downstairs areas repainted within the last couple of years. As this is an alpine home originally built in the 1990s with a frequently used wood fire, some ash and dust residue around the fire area and grill can naturally occur after use. The fire is cleaned regularly, however the grill itself is not fully detailed after every individual stay. We would also like to clarify that the post-booking reminder message referred to was sent 7 days prior to arrival and is intended as a reminder only, as the property information and details are already included within the listing description at the time of booking. We appreciate your feedback and are glad you otherwise enjoyed the property overall.

Arrived to a very unclean house. Certainly needs a good thorough clean. Floors were filthy and had not been washed by the dirt on them.The Tv was not working and we got in touch with Amie who sent a chap to us to try and fix the problem but he said the Freeview box was had it ..so it wasn’t sorted …no Tv for the three nights we stayed..Very steep stairs for elderly people to climb..Terrible place to try and park your car Make sure you bring a 4 wheel drive ! For the price try elsewhere !The oven door does not shut ,so don’t try and cook your roast dinner !Patricia….

Thank you for your feedback, Patricia. We were disappointed by this review, as the concerns raised were not reported on arrival, but well into the stay, despite our clear instructions to contact us immediately so any issues can be resolved promptly. When notified about the TV, we arranged for someone to attend the property straight away. Unfortunately the Freeview box could not be replaced over the weekend, however the TV was still fully usable for streaming services via Wi-Fi, Netflix and Chromecast, and a new TV has now been purchased. The only photos provided after departure were of a full vacuum cleaner canister, the inside of a rubbish bin, and a small area near the entry where pine needles had blown in. The oven door not closing snug does not affect the ovens cooking ability, however new hinges have arrived ready to be installed. The listing photos also clearly show the steep driveway, staircase and two storey layout of the home so guests can determine suitability before booking, and there is also plenty of free street parking available.

Response from VrboOwner on 25 May, 2026
Thank you for your review and for noting that you enjoyed parts of your stay. We’re sorry to hear that other aspects did not meet your expectations. The oven is fully functional and requires the timer to be set in order to operate, which is clearly explained in the instructions provided in the property. We did not receive any reports during your stay regarding any issues, which would have allowed us to assist at the time. Regarding cleanliness concerns raised, this is not reflective of our usual standards and will be reviewed with our cleaning team. In relation to the hot tub cover, there has been ongoing wear to the clips from previous use, which is why the cover is additionally secured for safety. The spa was checked prior to arrival and was not damaged. We take the condition of the property seriously and kindly remind guests to report any issues during their stay so they can be promptly addressed and resolved at the time.

Beautiful, great location! Lots of small details that made it a wonderful stay (blankets, games, appliances)! We went mid winter and it was super warm. There is a pretty sharp incline to flat at the top of the drive which will probably scrape the bottom of your car if its not a truck, but the was heaps of roadside parking and its not far at all from the front door!
