We were all excited when we first pulled up and saw where it was located... Beautiful view of mountains. But as soon as we opened the front door and entered, we were hit with a very pungent, awful smell. We all immediately noticed it and were affected by it. We did a tour of the house to see where everyone would sleep and it was difficult because beds were in all different places. By the pictures online we figured the kids(teens) could all hang out in the basement and even sleep down there. Unfortunately, the odor was so awful down there, (the strongest) nobody wanted to spend any time at all in the basement. Because of that, we had to squeeze everyone upstairs and on floors, etc. (there were 14 of us) We had to use the pull out couches but we couldn’t find any linens for them. My husband called the maintenance guy, Bruce, and he came out and tried to air out the basement. At first it helped but the odor quickly came back. He was very nice and helpful but the odor was so strong, any amount of airing it out, air fresheners, or scented candles didn’t help at all.
We were so disappointed because the odor was so bothersome. The house itself would be fine (if the odor was taken care of) for a smaller group. The setting was beautiful and the kids and Dads loved the little pond on the property. I’m sorry to say we won’t be back. The owner was so kind and easy to deal with. Bruce was so nice too. I hope they figured out that smell because I couldn’t imagine staying there for more than a couple days. Our things still smelled of it when we got home.
