We are very happy you had an enjoyable working/vacation time at our home. For a country location, we do have good internet & cell service. Very glad you were able to use it and relax as well.

Glad you and your family had a relaxing, comfortable stay. We do not always stay on the property when renting the main house. We would be happy to host you again!

Such sour grapes... So sorry you were unhappy. I wish you had voiced your concerns as you had them, since I as on the property your entire stay. The house was professionally cleaned the day prior to your arrival & it is "shoeless" for a reason. I know the floors were not dirty. It is autuum & there is a very large tree near the house dropping leaves. I guess since you are professional landscapers, you feel the need to be critical. I, personally, took all 50 photos on our listing with my iPhone & they are 100% accurate. They depict exactly what exists. Nervous?....No, surprised. That these guests brought a large refrigerated trailer, filled with food & flowers for a "do-it-yourself" wedding, plugged it into our electricity for 3 days, thinking nothing of it. Entitled behavior in my book. "We kept our comings & goings pretty low key" is a joke. 8am Saturday morning......the bride, her 8 bridesmaids, hair/makeup people & assorted men arrived in 9 cars & 1 p/u truck. I have a video of this. None of these people were staying at the house. The driveway was so crowded, 3 cars & the truck parked on the grass, causing big ruts when they left. Jen says the house suited her purpose. At the time, we did not understand what was going on. It is clear to us now, the bride's mother booked our house to stage a wedding, We feel taken advantage of & bashed for no reason.

Thank you Rich! We are very happy you enjoyed your time here. Looking forward to your safe return!

We are glad you enjoyed your visit! So glad you enjoyed our fire pit & looking at the stars in the dark, dark sky!

Thank you so much Adrienne! We are glad your family had such a good time during this trying pandemic. We look forward to your next visit!

Thank you so much Marie for your glowing review.! We are happy your family could take a break & celebrate Thanksgiving at our place. We look forward to you coming back to explore the many outdoor activities this area has to offer.

Look forward to seeing you & your family again!

Thank you Kelly. We are glad our home provided a respite from concerns about the virus & a chance to relax in peacefulness of our little wildlife sanctuary!

Thank you Kathryn! We were very happy to give your family tips on what to do & where to go locally. Glad you enjoyed swimming at Emerald Lake!

We are sorry you were disappointed to find the dressers & closets were filled with our clothes. This is our home, not a hotel. We do provide hooks on the backs of bedroom doors, standing coat racks with hangers & wall hooks in each bedroom. We were very happy to host you & glad you found our professional chef's stove & deck to your family's liking.

Thank you Philippe! We throughly enjoyed hosting your family. Very happy to have been able to have the right spot for celebrating before seeing your kids off to college!

Thank you for staying in our home! Very happy you enjoyed hanging out!

Glad you were able to travel around conveniently, Darlene

We are glad you had a good time in our nature paradise!

Thank you so much Rustam for your kind words. We are really glad you appreciated our nature setting as much as we do.

Thank you for your kindness. Glad you enjoyed hiking the property & building fires in the wood burning stove & wood burning fireplace. I am so sorry about the dishwasher. Thank goodness for your resourefulness wih using paper plates!

Maybe an unexplainable situation can be explained as the allegations of a venegful, cheapskate visitor holding a resentment. When Mr Bruce S, aka "the fireplace guy" reserved our home for the New Year's Weekend (commonly celebrated w/heavy drinking) we initially had a hard time getting him to pay the 2nd half of his deposit. After 2 auto reminders from VRBO, we sent him a message asking him if he was still interested. Mr BS responded by paying along w/sending us a scarcastic smiley face. We thought that was uncalled for. We had a premenition he might be trouble. If he has rented 15 VRBO residences, he should be familiar w/VRBO payment policies. We should not have to beg him to pay. As well, he was not honest & did not check off "pet fee" when reserving. In subsequent pre-arrival VRBO emails, he revealed he was bringing a dog. We realized he was trying to cheat us out of our pet fee & decided to deduct it from his refundable deposit. As to the "fresh" dog poop, what other dog was present? Our "caretaker" is a tenant who rents an apt. adjoining our house. Since we leave prior to guests arrival, we post his phone number for questions/problems guests may have. He turned on the 3 thermostats prior to Mr BS arrival. When Mr BS arrived, he called me & said the downstairs heat was comfortable but, the upstairs thermostat was blinking & the temperature was 58 degrees not 50. We mutually agreed it must be dead batteries & he would pick some up, since he had to leave to pick his wife up at the supermarket & liquor store. My last words to him were "Remember to open the flue, when you have a fire in the fireplace." He assured me he was a Boy Scout & knew how to light a fire. Approx 8 pm our tenant called informing us the living room was filled w/smoke & the cause was the flue had not been opened. He thought it best that since the guests had been drinking, to inform them that they should try again the next night & this time to open the flue first. Mr BS texted me the next day asking for a 1 night credit since he could not enjoy a fire. Mr BS posted this review the same day he received his deposit back minus our pet fee. The VRBO home sharing concept is based on trust & honesty. Unfortunately, sometimes one rents to guests who scam the system. We rented our primary residence to strangers, trusting they would take care of our house as they would their own. Now, we are left with the cost of cleaning our living room furnishings &walls of smoke damage.
