The property is in a great location with easy access to Crystal Mountain, Rainier, and not too far from Enumclaw and is in a nice, quiet neighborhood. It is âsurface cleanâ with clean countertops and floors. It needs a more thorough cleaning as drawers and cabinets are littered with crumbs and spills in kitchen and baths. The departure instructions include an expectation that the vacationer âstart AND FINISH at least one loadâ of laundry, which is unusual and likely the cause of bath towels smelling sour. A kitchen towel was nicely folded on the dishwasher handle, but was dirty/soiled from a prior stay. There was coffee creamer in the refrigerator that had expired months before. Like most properties in the area, this one did not have air conditioning, so the master suite upstairs was pretty hot. We bought a box fan that really helped it feel more comfortable and left it in the closet for future vacationers to use.
Make sure you take a photo of the door code from the check in instructions on the app prior to driving to the property. There is very limited cell service at or near the property and I couldnât get it to open. My signal was just strong enough to make a call, and I called Shane to ask for help, but got voicemail. He never returned my call in spite of my request to do so. I also emailed him twice concerning the property, but never got a response. I hope he wasnât sick or had something terrible going that prevented him from being responsive.
