Vintage BARN Apartment-POOL-HotTub-FirePit-Hiking-Museums-Theater-Pets welcome!

Gabe and I are so happy you enjoyed our former home s much as we did. We'd be more than happy to welcome you back!

Great to hear you had an even better trip than last year! There is nothing like a good hot tub soak after XC skiing! Once again you were great guests and we hot to have you back.

I am glad Fernando and his guest enjoyed their time in Vermont. Had they mentioned their concern with the hot tub, I could have informed them that, 1) we use bromine to sanitize the water, not bleach, and 2) the amounts are determined by water tests and are not arbitrary.

You were super fine guests and we are extremely appreciative of the condition in which you left our property. Come back any time and be sure to bring friends!

Glad your pup liked the service (garage) entrance and you understood our difficulty cleaning microfiber upholstery. Be sure you mention the service entrance should you ever return. Most medium to large dogs are fine with the stairs and the smaller ones get carried so our manager doesn't always think of it.

I just want to say how happy Gabe and I were at the respect and care you gave our delicate, cherished home. A lengthy stay by a family with children and pet was a bit of a worry, and I can say you didn't so much as leave a footprint. You are welcome anytime.

You are absolutely right about the other guests. They were rude, rowdy, drunk, and completely disrespectful, AND there were more of them than permitted. It got much worse after you left, too! I wish you would have called! We are so, so sorry! BUT, we discovered that the registers had been opened and the baffles in the heating ducts had shifted, both adding to the sound transfer. All of that has been fixed and even fortified. (That master bedroom was ours for eight years and you can be assured we took steps to mitigate any noise.) Also, I have instructed Sue to specifically inform all guest apartment renters that the hot tub is not available for their use. We'd love to make it up to you if you can call to discuss it.

Mr. P seemed unhappy from the minute he arrived conveying his displeasure to our manager and letting our foreign visitors in the guest house know he resented their presence. They have apologized for possibly being overly enthusiastic when playing games with their two teenaged kids, and I have extended that apology to Mr. P. Had we or our manager, who lives right across the street, been notified we would have emphatically enforced our written "peace and quiet" policy. I'm not sure it would have helped, however, as Mr. P. was one of our more challenging guests over the past 10 years of rentals, complaining about everything from the rustic character of the building to the size of the pool to refusing to pay the $15 per night dog fee. I am so very sorry he expected a McMansion and got our funky, fun hideaway. We do try to make everyone's stay as enjoyable as possible but sometimes fail in spite of that effort. BTW,, the second-floor deck IS private to this rental and contains the hot tub, gas grill, and outdoor dining. While we occasionally invite the guest apartment residents to use the hot tub when there are no guests in the main residence, the hot tub is not listed as an amenity for that rental. I am truly sorry that family took it upon themselves to invade Mr.P.'s space.
