Prior to arrival was promising, we were contacted about time of arrival so the snow could be cleared. Upon arrival contacted host who stated would be cleared shortly and would salt the very icy sidewalk to house - neither occurred over our stay. House was very cold upon arrival and the heat struggled to keep the upper level of the house at 70 while there and significant temperature difference between upper and lower levels of house. Lower level was at least 5 degrees colder.

Response from VrboOwner on 4 Mar, 2026
Thank you for your feedback, Gerald. I’m glad to hear you appreciated the communication, location, and listing accuracy. Regarding the temperature, the thermostat in the home can be adjusted by guests to any temperature they prefer. In multi-level homes it is normal for the upper level to feel warmer while the lower level may feel cooler, as heat naturally rises. For snow removal, our policy is that plowing is scheduled when snowfall exceeds 2 inches. During your stay, the walkway entrance and the deck were shoveled and salt was applied to ensure safe access. Our contractor serviced the property and applied salt around 10:00 AM. When the contractor notified me that the work had been completed, I verified it by checking the exterior cameras. I always make myself available during guest stays and did not receive any messages about concerns at the time. We encourage guests to reach out during their stay so we can address anything immediately and make their visit as comfortable as possible. Thank you again for your stay and for sharing your feedback.
