HOT TUB, POOL TABLE, MEDIA ROOM, 13 ACRES, FABULOUS VIEW

Thank you Kalpesh. It was a pleasure to host you and your family.

Hello Ann, We understand. We started quite idealistically with lots of games and supplies. Then life happened. We had to throw them out week by week, as many parts were lost over time, upsetting the next group of guests trying to use them. We are run off our feet in the Summer with many 5 hour cleans. We could not inspect and replace every game. We provide 3 flat acres of front and back yard and have found that guests like to bring their own games. Due to insurance considerations, we do not offer a trampoline. I am surprised that you did not notice: we do provide towels for each room. We find hair dryers to be rarely used and easily misplaced, so we provide a couple for the whole house. Apart from that, was there nothing more to your liking? The Games Room with bar and pool table? Sauna? Hot tub? The extensive kitchen with granite counters? The grand Living Room with cedar-clad peaked ceilings and wood floors? Large bedrooms with king beds? Private ensuite bathrooms?

Thank you Laura You were wonderful guests.

We would love to host you again! Cheers! Andre

Hello Luigi It was a pleasure to host you. Cheers Andre

Hello Amelia We are so glad that you had a great time. We look forward to seeing you again. Cheers Andre

Hello Heather It was a pleasure to host you. Your group was so clean and respectful. Come back anytime!! Cheers Andre

Hello Utkarsh We are glad that you enjoyed your stay with us. I am sorry that the cleaner forgot to check the levels of body wash in the bathrooms. We did bring you body wash immediately when you informed us. I am confused by your comment about handsoap and shampoo. You did not request handsoap, and I believe all bathrooms had sufficient amounts. As well, we do not presently offer shampoo and this is clearly stated on our VRBO site.

Hello Matthew You were a wonderful group and it was a pleasure to host you. we look forward to seeing you again. Cheers!

Thank you Darren. You were wonderful guests. We look forward to hosting you again. Cheers Andre

Hello Niko Thank you for your review. We are glad you guys had a good time. Yes, the furniture in the media room has developed wear-and-tear. It will be replaced in the Fall.

Thank you Velma I am sorry that you did not get to experience our new outdoor furniture! As far as guests go, you and your group were outstanding! Cheers

Hello Shane You were wonderful guests. Thank you Andre

Thank you Roxanna We are so glad that you had a wonderful stay. Andre

Hello Cole Thank you for your review; yes the house is amazing and I am glad that you and your fiends had a great time. LOL. The inherent anxiety that you spoke of only came about when I discovered I was renting a luxury house to a large group of men celebrating a Stag. :)) I am happy everything worked out. Cheers!

Thank you Miles You were wonderful guests. Cheers Andre

Hello Scott I am glad you enjoyed your stay. Strange that you felt I was trying to hold money back. The issue was quite specific, namely the alarm system indicated to me that your group was often leaving the doors open. As you were informed (in the "extensive" policy) there is a very active rodent population in the surrounding fields that we do not want in the house.

Hello Gail I am at a bit of a loss regarding your review, and yet - considering your tone in our past conversations - not at all surprised by it. The window was broken by a windstorm. As the house is 10 years old - and highly customized - they do not make the coloured framing any more. It is special order and with ongoing supply-chain issues, we are still waiting. I will look at the arm of the couch: it is not uncommon for past guests to break things, set them back in place and say nothing. (hence the need for "lengthy" contracts). I know about a few carpet stains from past guests but our guests usually rave about our home. Apart from these things, what gave us a 3 star review? Was the $300 discount I gave you to clear up the confusion on the VRBO website not enough? Or the late checkout? Your husband was very enthusiastic about our home: 6000sq ft, 8 bedrooms (with 6 king beds for 6 couples in your group), 6 bathrooms, pool table, hot tub, 20 ft cedar clad ceilings and beds for 20. We have many repeat guests who love our home, and outstanding reviews on VRBO to prove it. It is obviously not the right place for you.

Hello Kate Thank you for sharing. I am glad that you had a wonderful time. Strange about your experience with the hotter: in our 6 years of renting that house, you are the only one that ever had this problem. We look forward to hosting you again, but maybe in warmer weather :)
