Didn't receive all of cleaning deposit

1 of 5
Submitted: May 1, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
This is my honest review and what you will be dealing with:
1. The photos here are years old as the furniture does not look this way. Decor is dated and faded; huge holes in the sofa fabric which are covered with blankets.
2. The fam rm blue carpet has burn marks. The fireplace also emits smoke even with the flu all the way open. We ended up not using it again after the first time.
3. The house is in need of a deep cleaning!! I put my hands in cobwebs on the ledge above the bed.
4. Since the cleaning is your responsibility, you do the best you can and "hope" you receive all of your deposit. We spent our entire morning making sure to leave the place as spotless as we could. I was definitely concerned as the place was NOT spotless when we received it. We picked up trash that wasn't ours, made sure to clean as thoroughly as possible.
5. We did not receive our full deposit due to "the contract" saying one thing about laundering and then there were signs in every bedroom that simply made it very confusing. I thought deep sanitizing type cleaning would be done (apparently I am very naive) and figured, we better just leave the sheets as the signs are indicating. Well, we apparently "didn't read our contract" according to the owner. (However, we sure did Jen, it's just very inconsistent)
6. It took longer than I feel it should have to communicate with the owner. To rent the cabin, we received much faster communication. But when it came to receiving our Half Deposit, it took 3 weeks to receive a chk. (We used a credit card to reserve/pay but she said she can't put the deposit back on a card.) It took several days before she got back to us answer our concern.
7. Overall, I would look somewhere else. You definitely get what you pay for. I would have rather paid more elsewhere!
Here is her final email to me:
"We have had our cabin for 7 years same cleaning people for 3. We keep the cost to a minimum and give people the option to cleanup and make it ready for the next people. The cleaning fee is an additional expense we have to incur that's why we give people the option to do it themselves. Not many rentals offer that option. What part of leaving 6 loads of laundry and not making the beds is part of making it ready for the next people. You signed a contract which it sounds like u didn't read. The same contract that is posted in the kitchen. I'm sorry for the inconvenience but a contract is a contract."
Owner's Response: Thank you for your feedback. Clearly there has been a communication problem. Yes we did keep half of your deposit because you did not make the house ready to rent again mostly in part by not doing your linens or towels. Obviously your other criticism stems from not getting your deposit back because it is the first that i have heard of these other items. I do not get a chance to go up there a lot so yes we rely on gueststo give feedback if your experience was less than what you expected or there are items broken prior to your arrival. It will be addressed to our staff as well to stay more in tune with damage. As far as the place not being clean when you arrived. Why did you not call me the instant you arrived to say the house was not clean? We have had the same cleaners for many years and the only other time we have had a complaint is when another renter didnt clean and get their deposit back. 95% of the time a deposit gets refunded. We dont want to keep a deposit thats why we make it refundable. The sheets and linens are the biggest costs for us because we have one washer and one dryer. Again thanks for the feedback on the items that need to get replaced/repaired. We are very proactive if we are aware of a situation. Good luck to you. Jen

We had a wonderful time. The cabin is spacious and comfortable. The sledding hill was a blast. The ping pong table and billiard table was a lot of fun. The owner was very easy to work with. I would highly recommend this cabin.

perfect place for family fun

Jen,
Wanted to send a hearty "thank you". My grandkids' trip to your cabin has given us great memories of family fun in an environment so very different from our daily city life. We all loved that escape and the fun it engendered! Your cabin is a perfect place for family fun and the geography is beautiful, plus we got some fall color! The pool table may have taken the #1 slot for most utilized activity. Fishing, s'mores, nighttime skies filled with billions of visible stars, cooler weather, a break from the normal daily routine - all add up to a fun family time. Thanks Jen. You are appreciated.

Nice stay..But beware of cleaning deposit.

Had a great time with my family.Cabin was in a nice location and a quick drive from Phoenix. However I was very disapointed that I did not get my depoist back, as my family and myself spent several hours sweeping, mopping, vacuum, dusting, cleaning dishes, windows, and washing/drying bedding and did not get our depoist back. Be prepared to spend half your stay cleaning.

Owner's Response: Thank you for your business and feedback. We appreciate you and your opinion. We try to keep our rates as low as possible and in doing so we give renters the option to clean or have our cleaners do the work. Most cabin charge a cleaning fee of 100 to 150 that is nonrefundable, we give you the option. The reason you did not get a full deposit back is not because the house was in shambles when you got there or the lack normal cleaning like dusting (we dont require you to dust), it was the cost in cleaning up after your party. We make our deposits refundable because we do not want to punish those that treat the house as their own and pick up after themselves. In the 5 years we have been renting we have had to take a deposit 3 times. We strive to be fair to our clients. As discussed with you on the phone, the full deposit was not refunded because there were 27 towels left unwashed which equaled 6 loads of laundry, none of the beds were made or changed, hundreds of cigarette butts, beer bottles, food and trash strewed across the property. We have cleaners come and check the property to make sure it is ready for the next group, most of the time nothing is required, in this case quite a bit was. I am sorry for your disappointment and do value your business. I hope that you do come back and see us again.

Enjoyed our stay!

My family of three, plus two dogs, spent a long weekend at the cabin and enjoyed it very much. We wanted/needed a relaxing get-away that would not leave us bored, and the ping-pong, pool table and horseshoes were the influencing factors in choosing this cabin. We shared many laughs playing the games and relaxing out on the deck in the mornings and evenings. The cabin was clean and comfortable, and even though other homes were nearby, the area was quiet and we still felt 'secluded'. It was a hot summer weekend and yes, the cabin was too warm during the day and early evening, but the basement was always comfortable so it really wasn't a problem. The grill worked with no problem and there was a backup propane tank available as well. Definitely one of the better cabins we've rented over the years. Thanks Jen!
