Un retiro forestal

Hi Amy, thanks for your fair review. As noted on listing, our basic house rules are set to deter parties and unpaid guests from taking advantage as we've had problems with this in the past. These rules are not unusual. In any event, I'm happy you had a comfortable stay and hope that your event was a success! You're welcome to stay again and thanks for your understanding about house rules.

Thanks for your lovely review, Randi! We enjoyed hosting you and welcome you back any time!

Thanks so much for your lovely review, Amina! We’re glad you enjoyed yourselves and hope you’ll come to visit us again in the future! Best from Anna Maria and Scottie

Regrettably, our guests violated the maximum occupancy house rule. This places Owner's at risk for liability and possibly loosing their rental businesses as we must adhere to our local codes. It's unfortunate that they chose to leave a retaliatory review upon learning that we need to enforce our house rules. Please see the many, very satisfied guests' reviews that we have had the pleasure to host. Thank you.

Michelle and her group were a pleasure to host! We felt appreciated and respected throughout their stay. I highly recommend any one of these thoughtful guests and they will always be welcomed back. This is the first time that a guest was exceedingly thoughtful by bringing us a beautiful bottle of wine with a lovely, heartfelt card. Very sweet. My only regret is not actually meeting Michelle due to wanting our guests to have their optimal privacy. Sometimes we miss out on meeting wonderful people! Hope they come again. Thank you, Michelle!

Thank you for a lovely review, Emily. It was unseasonably warm during your stay and so glad you were all comfortable! Please consider us again in the future.

Thank you all for coming and for leaving such a lovely review! It was a pleasure to host you. Forgive us for not introducing ourselves until after your visit as we wanted you to have complete privacy. But so glad we met upon departure! We really hope you consider some snow fun this winter as we would love to see you all again!

Tony and Devon were wonderful to host! Friendly and respectful, they will always be welcome here! Thank you for the lovely review!

Hi Menekse, We thoroughly enjoyed hosting your family! We welcome you back with open arms anytime! Thank you for the lovely review and hope you enjoy your travel explorations!

This is the FIRST time we had to confront a guest for the abuse of our property and exceeding the occupancy of our contract / insurance coverage and home capacity. All of which put us at an elevated risk of financial liability. Having registered for 5 guest and actually having over 14 is a blatant disregard for respecting our contract and property. We provide open communication for all our guest' needs and request as circumstances and guest' needs at times change. We denied your request to have 12 people in our home for dinner and provided you with alternative locations nearby to meet your needs. Nonetheless, rather than adhere to our denial for 12 members to attend dinner in our home, you chose to forgo our recommendation for alternative dinner locations and have a pool party of at least 14 people. Many of which were young children. You had several opportunities to communicate your needs days prior to your stay and chose to request 12 guest just 10 minutes prior to arrival which we respectfully denied for reasons listed below. Having an additional 9+ people unregistered at our home exceeds our limits of liability and legal capacity to house which is why have have limits on the number of guest' allowed in our contract and home. This happens to be the specific reason why we have the Honesty clause in our contract. By purposely misleading us and exceeding our limits of liability with the number of guest' we maintain the right and legal privilege to remove you from our property immediately. However, we did not. We crossed our fingers hoping nothing would happen and personally assumed financial responsibility if someone did become injured or drowned in our pool. I believe this demonstrates on our part a HUGE consideration to allow you to continue your stay for the contracted duration without having you removed. We've done everything to try to accommodate you within the scope of our legal and financial limits and responsibilities. We are sorry for your lack of integrity. We are glad you wrote this review so other owners can be made aware of tactics some guest may purposely deploy in effort to take advantage of a homeowner and put them at a elevated risk of financial liability when a guest defrauds a homeowner deeming their insurance coverage null and void for exceeding home capacity and limits of financial liability. We will not house this guest in the future based on our experience and suggest all homeowners to reconsider accepting this guest in their home. As noted, we kept your $700 deposit for breach of contract. Thank you !
