6/10
Beautiful stone home, built in 1780, lots of need for improvement. We were four adults, arrival was scheduled for 4:30 on Sunday. The host postponed our check-in until 7 pm. No rationale and no apology provided. This was problematic as we were not able to get dinner or groceries – restaurants opened in town at 7 pm. We were shocked to learn that the road to this house was a very steep, winding, unassumed - , basically dirt, grass, rocks for 10 minutes. A smaller vehicle would not be able to navigate this road. We struggled and we had a four-wheel drive, larger SUV. The owner kept saying it was “safe” but we did not feel safe on this road. Needless to say we only took the journey down the mountain to the nearby town twice.
The owner informed us the oven was not working in an email, the day of check-in. No attempt was made to repair it or to replace it. They have a wood burning BBQ, the owner said he would return the next day and bring wood for the BBQ. He never did.
Contradictions to the house description: no gym/work out area or fitness center, no oven, no spices in the kitchen area. There was no hair dryer and we were instructed not to use a dryer due to limitations/renewable energy. They was no bottle opener, there was one wine glass. What was great – renovations and upgrades are nice: bathrooms, flooring. The trails around the house were fantastic, the little stream was quite lovely. The house is very isolated if you are hoping for quiet and relaxation
