Andree, the owner, is nice enough and very responsive. However, certain key information was withheld in her writeup for her property.
THIS HOUSE IS UP A VERY STEEP HILL AND THE DRIVEWAY IS UP ANOTHER STEEP INCLINE. Our minivan could not get up the hill into her driveway. We never had a problem with this minivan driving to ski areas before. There is NO MENTION of this hill and incline in her description of her property. 2 days before the weekend of our expected arrival Andree told us about her steep hill, recommended we have snow tires on our car, and told us about a previous renters inability to get up her driveway without snow tires. 2 days was not enough time to purchase and put snow tires on our car from our mechanic before a holiday week.
As a result, WE COULD NOT SAFELY GET TO OR FROM HER HOUSE. So even though the house had the correct number of bedrooms and bathrooms for our family. We were UPSET, TENSE and STRESSED the entire time of our visit. Because of our concern about getting out of her driveway and hill safely before the next expected snowstorm WE CUT OUR RENTAL SHORT. We lasted 2 nights out of 6.
Andree has not refunded our money for the nights we were not there. We feel we are due a refund as we had reserved her property during the summer for December. Had we known about the steep hill and driveway situation we would have rented a different place.
Andree should mention the steep hill and driveway and the need for snow tires in her ad for her property if one is renting in the winter. People must be able to get safely in and out of her driveway to be able to enjoy her property. Because of the hill and driveway situation, we do not recommend renting this property during the winter unless you have snow tires on your car.
