It was a pleasure to have Rebecca and her group. I'm so glad they enjoyed their stay. I hope to see them back again next year.

It was so great to have you and your family here. I hope you can come again next year.

So great to have your family here again. I hope you can come back next year as well.

Hi Normand, It was such a pleasure to have your group stay. I hope you can come back next year. Best Wishes, Shannon

It was great to have your family staying. Thanks for choosing The Gryphon

William your group was absolutely stellar. Everything was perfect. Thanks so much for leaving the house in good order. I hope to see you again next year..

The guests requested an early entry so I had the cleaners come in at 8:00 am to please them. There were 7 emails and texts all of which were answered immediately. Most of the information was in the guest book. Still a 4 star review. I guess there is no pleasing some people.

Hi Karen, It was great to have you stay. Thanks for leaving the house in such good repair.

It was great to have you. I hope you can come again!

Thank you Susan. I am glad you enjoyed your stay and I look forward to seeing you again, Shannon

So glad the weather was so good. I hope to see you again some time.

Hi Cassandra, It was great to have your family stay over Thanksgiving. I'm glad the weather co-operated as well. Best Wishes,

Hi Elaine, It was lovely to have you stay. I'll look forward to meeting you again. Best Wishes, Shannon

HI Paul, Your group were fabulous. You even figured out the garbage!! Many people have no concept of recycling. I do apologize for the bbq. It was working in June and I had no reason to think there was a problem. You will note that 2 full tanks of propane were supplied for your visit. The bbq is only 2 years old and only used in the summer, so, again, I would not have expected it to be in bad shape. It has had a total renewal with many replaced parts. Thanks for pointing this problem out to me. best Wishes, Shannon

Hi Leanne, There was a delay on the yoga studio, it is available as of Thursday this week. My wonderful Eritrean worker had a construction injury but is fine now. The shower in the downstairs bathroom is plumbed backwards, I will renew the note that I had in the room. The hot is cold, and the cold is hot... the next time there is a plumber in, I'll have it fixed. Thanks so much for coming, Shannon

Hi Janine, It was great to have you stay. The bar b que is in need of a new element, and this is being done this week. No one had used it in a while, so I didn't know. I had to look up mölkky. It looks really fun! I'll look forward to seeing you again. Shannon

Thank you for such a great review. I am so happy that the weather co-operated as well for you. I'll look forward to seeing you again. Best Wishes, Shannon

Dear Carolle, Thank you for your feedback. The front door knob had never fallen off before. It has been fixed. Since the house has been rented almost every day since June 15, I have not had the pleasure of staying myself, thus I did not know about the shower head. There is a liquid that you need to put into the dishwasher to get the dishes sparkling clean. I refilled that last week and have put it on my list of things to check each week. Chairs etc. and the loose faucet are small fixes that I will care of this week. Next summer I will book three or four days midsummer to deal with all the small problems that show up. This summer my time was spent largely in trying to save the plants and trees during the incredible drought. I have scheduled in an irrigation system for next spring so that I will have more time to attend to the house interior. You are absolutely correct in saying that these small things are certainly necessary.

I am sorry that Louise and her group did not enjoy their stay. Sometimes people don't realize that a country property is going to have flies, particularly if you leave the windows or doors open. The electricity on the upper floor was turned off because of a ground fault problem. This has never happened before. I told the guests that I would get someone in to turn it on in a few hours, or they could turn it on themselves but that the storage and tool area was extremely messy due to an ongoing construction process and the end of season repairs. They said they didn't mind, and went in, turned the lights on, and took pictures... Obviously I should have had a neighbor do it. They said they couldn't find a clean table cloth. There was a stack of four table cloths, one had a two inch stain, the rest were fine. I spoke with my cleaners to see if there was any change in the cleaning protocol, they said no. They were extremely upset that their work was found sub standard after 15 weeks of five star reviews for cleaning. I was still going to send the refund because they were not happy, but then Louise started texted me at midnight. I then concluded that the problems were not really about the house.
