Eclipse Weekend
The house was immaculate, the kitchen well equipped, and the rooms were great. Overall, this was a really nice stay and the host was responsive over email. But we had some disappointments that impacted us. We had reserved the house many months in advance because we were coming up to see the total eclipse of the sun on April 8th. The house was right in the path of totality and had a large deck from which to watch the eclipse. I emailed back and forth with the host a few times to ask if the grill was available and working (yes), to let him know why we were coming and that the deck and location were primary features we would be using (fine), and were there deck chairs and table (yes). Problems: 1) There is no cell service in the area and I could not initially get the lock open, requiring help from the sheriff to get into the house since I could not call for help; 2) the snow/ice had not been removed from the deck, and the grill and chairs were in the basement and inaccessible - the host's father-in-law came over and set us up and was terrific, but this should not have been necessary; 3) Netflix was listed as included but actually was not, a disappointment to us since our friend group had agreed on a movie! The description of the property should be revised to cover changes for winter/snow and no Netflix. It's a lovely location and nice house and all the features should be available in the summer.
