The house is so cute, in a perfect location, and had everything we needed. There was a little confusion on how to get into the house (key pad is at the back door) but once we figured that out it was smooth sailing. The backyard space is nice as well. We appreciated all the seating area in the kitchen and living room for our little get together with my son’s friends. We would totally recommend this place.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the house, the location, and had everything you needed for your stay. It’s great that the space worked well for your get-together too—that’s exactly what we hope for our guests. We appreciate you mentioning the keypad location as well—we’ll make sure to clarify those instructions so future guests have an even smoother arrival. Thanks again for staying with us and for the recommendation—we’d love to host you again anytime!

Poor communication!!

I arrived and could not get in. I called the listed emergency phone number . Tried several times . Just got hang ups. I left and got a hotel . Received a message from the owner at 11:00 pm . Called the next am. She said” my father in law was trying to call you to tell you to go to the back door “I hung up because I was driving to Grand Junction and was in a hail storm just outside Denver . The owner should have communicated this info in writing days before !Also I received a text the night before I was leaving that the owners were having a pest control exterminator company come while I was still there. They can’t wait until guests are gone??

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear your experience didn’t meet expectations and appreciate the opportunity to clarify a few points. Detailed check-in instructions were emailed seven days prior to arrival and sent again via text at 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM on the day of check-in. We also call every guest on arrival day to reiterate check-in information and answer questions. When we called, you mentioned you were driving and unable to talk. When we received your message later that night about trouble entering the home, we returned your call within 15 minutes. You later mentioned you saw the call but chose not to answer due to frustration. We're sorry you had difficulty accessing the home. Please note the home does not have parking at the front and the keypad is located at the back door—details included in the check-in instructions. No access attempts were recorded, which suggests you may have tried to enter the wrong property. Still, we refunded the first night as a gesture of goodwill. As for pest control, we notify guests in advance and offer the option to reschedule. You asked to move the appointment until after your departure, which we were happy to do. We regret the inconvenience and hope the rest of your trip to Grand Junction went well.
