Dear Mr Doughty, Dear Mr. Dougherty, I have been renting for ten years and yours is my first bad review. I do not typically respond to reviews, but felt I needed to respond to yours. I waited a while before replying because I wanted to provide a thoughtful response. Your family traveled by car for two-days in the hot summer to get to my cabin. Your wife was pregnant and you had a three year old in-tow. I can certainly understand that you guys must have been exhausted upon arrival. However, I knew right away when I greeted your family and saw the look on your wife’s face that you were not going to have a good week. Yes, my cabin faces the lake and mountains with many windows to enjoy that view. Most people say that’s its greatest feature. I do have curtains you can pull across to block the sun. I’m sorry you did not see them. The ceiling fan is for winter use to keep the hot air, which rises, moving down to the floor-level. No other renters have ever mentioned any smells in the bathroom. If the exterior spot-light was a concern, you should have simply walked-around and tried flipping a few light-switches to find the one that turned it off. If the window screens were not tight, you could have simply adjusted them. If you like using a beach umbrella, you should have brought one with you. And lastly, I have never heard of anyone having a problem with the color of our refrigerator, but there is always a first. I sense that most of your concerns about my cabin related more to your family’s particular situation. Given the challenges of caring for a young child while your wife was in the advanced stages of pregnancy in the heat of the summer, perhaps you should have selected a different venue for your vacation this particular year. In the future there may be a time when my cabin’s setting would be ideal for your family and when that happens, I hope you return. I would enjoy seeing you all again. I wish you and your growing family the very best.
