Beautiful Home not for small children
Review Submitted: September 1, 2011
Date of Stay: July 2011
We stayed here unbeknownst to us there was construction going on, there were nails all over the driveway, lots of breakable items in the house we had to move so the kids would not get to them. The cabinet in the kitchen was broken and put back in place so when we tried to open it, it fell off. Found some dirty dishes in the drawers one knife covered with who knows what kind of red substance. Stains on the rugs. We cleaned and scrubbed this place leaving it better than we found it and still didn't get our deposit back. This home is in a beautiful location, however I would never bring my small children here again. This home is not kid friendly.

Owner's Response: We apologize for any inconvience, that is not our intention. We have taken great care in creating a safe and homey envirornment. Our guests, both before and after your stay, have all loved to vacation in our home. If you had allowed our host to remain on the property during your stay he would have been able to immediately address your concerns as they occured. This is an older family home and is at the end of its remodeling. We have removed the nails from the driveway and have instructed our cleaning staff to check all the cabinets for any soiled items. After our renters leave, we send them in to clean and trust that they charge the appropitate amount. Our housekeeper spent over seven hours cleaning after your departure. This amount was passed on to you and the remainder of the cleaning deposit was returned to you per the agreement. Our home is children friendly, there are games, movies, and the out-of-doors to play but they need to be supervised for their safety. This is especially important with a large group of children, which you had (11). The antiques inside are to create a friendly, inviting atmosphere but can be removed at your request. We heard that the children had a wonderful time playing in the spa and riding on your ATVs. Your suggestions are appreciated so we can continue to improve our accomodations. Sincerely, Barbara and Carol Bradley
