L078B, "Woodland Romance" 1Br Cabin, Dogs, Secluded

Hi Derek, I'm glad you enjoyed the "Woodland Romance" lodge and I apologize for the dumpster issue. The COA had a problem with the garbage collection service who moved the dumpster down to a location near the lake. It was still accessible but about six doors down from the location next to the lodge and I suspect no one knew where it was. I believe the problem is already resolved so don't hesitate to contact me if you want to come back to Branson. Remind me of this and I'll find the perfect place for you that does not have this problem. Thanks, Tom

Hi Rebecca, I am glad you had a great time in our Woodland Romance 1-Br lodge. I sincerely hope you did not put up with anything not being perfect with the cabin. As I said before, all you need to do if anything is not working is call the resort visitor center and they will send someone from maintenance right away to fix whatever it is. We look forward to hosting your next visit and remember that we have vacation rentals of all types and sizes all over the Branson area. Thanks! Tom

Hi John, I am glad you had a good time and I apologize for the upstairs bathroom having only a few shelves. We have plans to correct that for our guests but they have been delayed by the Covid-19 situation. As for grass, only a few of the 4-Br cabins have any kind of lawn nearby but there are miles of trails and walking paths in the resort so I'm also happy you found those for your dog to take care of business. Thanks for staying with us and for your kind review. Tom

Hi Jimmy, I am so glad you enjoyed your time in our Woodland Romance 1-Br lodge. I apologize for the two issues. The lack of a vanity is about to be addressed and I will check with the resort about the fireplace. Typically the fireplaces are turned off during the Summer and turned back on when the weather gets cold. Apparently the resort decided it was not cold enough but if you would have called the front desk to report the problem, they probably would have come down to fire it up. Next time you come to Branson, check with me and I'll see if I can get you a discount. Thanks, Tom

Hi Betty, I am sorry about the misunderstanding that the cabin was in a two unit building. Actually, ALL these 1-Br cabins are in duplex-style buildings. It's my fault because I usually mention it in our conversations but we had some trouble working out your travel dates and I'm afraid I forgot. It was noted in the text description of the listing but maybe a bit hard to find and I suppose lots of folks just look at the pictures, so I have used your report to go in and add the duplex comment in multiple locations on the listing. Also, thanks for mentioning what I predicted, that even if you have guests in the unit next door, you usually will not know they are there because the "common" walls are extra thick and the bathrooms and staircase are against that wall on each side so sound usually does not travel between the units. (Some loud barking dogs might be noticeable but that unit next door is not pet-friendly.) As for the dumpster at the end of the road, it is kept clean and not smelly at all, plus it has a wooden fence around it so it is not unsightly. When I've stayed there, it turned out to be convenient for dumping trash. Thanks again for sharing your comments. Remind me about this next time you come to Branson and I'll get you an extra discount on any properties that allow it.

Hi Emily, I am glad to hear that you had a good time in spite of the confusion Vrbo caused by sending you incorrect instructions and directions. As for the AC, if you had called me or the resort, we'd have fixed it. When we spoke on the phone, I recommended that you call the front desk immediately if there are any problems because they have full time maintenance staff on-site and they would have immediately either fixed the AC or brought an extra window unit for you. It's really important to me that our guests have a trouble-free vacation so I have this extra service set up just for situations like this. Thanks again for the positive review. Remind me about all this when you come back and I'll see about getting you an extra discount.
