Mountaineer - Indoor Pool & Pet Friendly Cabin

I can begin commenting on our experience at this large cabin by saying the Host was incredibly accommodating. I do not recall anytime since booking our stay to the end of Travis not responding within a half hour timeframe. Our stay was during Thanksgiving week so we had a few questions and requests. I was concerned about the trash due to our large group but that was always resolved with a little planning on our part and an early email to our host. This cabin without question from taking our walks has the best fitted outside area for grilling, cooking, or watching the football games around the fireplace. It was well lit and fitted for all of anyone's needs. We used the kitchen quite a bit as you can imagine and it was great having the outside grill to help complete our large meals! We even used the flat grill for making our pancakes outside, it was just a great experience with the family. Travis thank you for meeting all of our needs and we hope to be back again before Thanksgiving and enjoy more walks through the hills.

Cabin was clean. Host was great.

Large bedrooms and bathrooms, large rec space down stairs

Unfortunately our stay was not ideal. I’ll start by saying Travis was quick to respond to my emails, but unfortunately didn’t follow through on some issues. Main one being the main floor never cooling properly. I realize it was in the 90s during our stay, but we shouldn’t be required to “wait until the evening “ for it to cool down. Pretty uncomfortable and humid and made it quite difficult for my dad with COPD to breathe. I would say do not come during the summer because the house does not have big enough hvac and isn’t properly insulated to cool house. Ice maker was not working and Travis said he would send a technician, but never did. We had to purchase multiple bags of ice. Dishwasher is not attached to the counter, so it’s falling out when you open it. Outside furniture is quite dirty. Indoor pool was freezing ( supposed to be heated , but wasn’t) it was hot out but water was FREEZING. Refrigerator is missing all but one door shelf, limiting storage in an already small refrigerator for an 8 bedroom home. Looks like the blinds in living room melted due to heat? I’d recommend Travis or whoever owns this home to make a visit. It needs some TLC to be up to the standard for what you are charging. I just want to give a heads up for anyone looking to rent this home… it’s not worth the price.

The cabin has everything anyone would want! Communications with owner was wonderful. We left a bag and they FedEx it to us upon our request. The cabin is clean and in a great location no matter where you are going. Will stay again!!
