PICTURESQUE BLUFF apartamento do lado NA HOME

Thank you for your comments. In regards to the snow on the driveway... we had 2 snowfalls within the week when our guest arrived. That's Colorado for you - it's called "snow country". I am a one-person show here. My first priority is to make sure I have the apartment cleaned by 3pm for my next guest (from the previous guest who left that morning). My neighbors whose driveways were shoveled that day have snow plows - I don't. If they had to shovel their driveways by hand, I can assure you that their driveways would not have been shoveled either - and they have multiple people living in their homes. I don't think my guest realizes how much work is involved in shoveling these big hilly driveways - especially when it has been snowing a lot in Colorado. I did my best. I got as far as shoveling the walking area where the car would be parked and all the way up to the front door, before my guests arrived. We have it noted in our listing that our street goes up a hill up to our place. So when anyone books here - especially in the winter season, they can expect to be driving on snow on my street and up to my place. And a recommendation for driving on snow uphill is not to stop before your reach your destination, as your tires will lose their traction and start sliding..... Another issue was that I was not aware that my guest just had a hip replacement, which caused her extra stress with the snow. I would suggest that a hotel stay would be the better choice in situations as these, as hotels have the budget to pay full-time maintenance people whose job is to keep the parking lots & driveways consistently plowed for their patrons.

I was hoping to meet my guest here, but my schedule did not cooperate - especially with my guest being here for only 2 nights. So my apologies to this guest for not being able to connect with her personally as I usually do.

Either way, I gave my guest a "5 star" rating for the "communication" question, even though I never got to meet nor talk with her. She was very respectful of the place, and I thank her for thinking of us! :)

In response to this guy's “most significant concern”: I was still in the apartment just finishing up when this guy arrived at 3pm. I had the TV on to make sure that it was in good working order from the previous guests who just departed that morning....and I kept the TV on while I was cleaning the apartment. People who come to stay in our place are here to enjoy the “splendor of Colorado”– not to criticize “books” on a bookshelf nor the “channel” the TV is on....(which, by the way, has a simple fix – bring your own reading material, and change the channel on the TV!) … But based on this particular guy, who made sure when booking our place that we knew he was a “professor emeritus”, and based on the tone of his review, I think this guy had a different agenda, as has been the pattern with many college professors in this country (who, by the way, prey on vulnerable, naive "captive audiences") - which is to attack the beliefs of others who don't line up with their beliefs. -----But for this guy to pull this kind of nonsense in MY home - is HIGHLY offensive & insulting to me! This is a “vacation destination” - not a war zone! That he would even THINK he has the right to come into my home and “antagonize” me and attack my “moral standards” is extremely disrespectful - and “bullying” at its best!! And contrary to what he'd like to believe - this is a “private” residence, not a public place! I open my private home to traveling guests who are looking for a safe “home-style” experience in a beautiful mountain setting with wildlife. --- If anyone demonstrated what this guy judged as, “discrimination”, “inappropriateness”, “making people feel uncomfortable”, and "imposing your views on another"....this guy needs to look no further than himself – for he just judged himself as "guilty", as he verbally demonstrated in his review here, his inappropriateness, his discrimination of me & my beliefs, his making me feel uncomfortable, and his "forcing" his views on others! --- And for the record (and the reader), this "professor" does NOT know his Constitution nor his First Amendment on religious freedom. NOWHERE does it say, "Freedom of religion is not the freedom to impose one person's views on another." NOWHERE! That's False information! Fake News! The First Amendment of the Constitution is talking about "Congress" being restricted in its actions - not "the people" being restricted in their actions & religious expression. (Make sure to read it for yourself, so you're not deceived by others!) ------- In closing....We had the pleasure of hosting "Vanity Fair Magazine" who booked a night here doing a “national interview” in the family room with the bookshelves, and we had no problem nor complaints whatsoever – because "Vanity Fair Magazine" is professional...and exercises respect.
