Disliked: Cleanliness
Even though the house advertised as non-smoking the first floor smelled of cigarette smoke. There was also an indoor mosquito problem. I was offered an ozone treatment however that would have taken 4 hours for us and the dog to not be in the house. I was not disrupting my vacation any further. I asked for a discount and was denied. On the last day, we blew a fuse in the master bedroom probably due to chargers and running a hair dryer. We could not find a breaker box to reset it. We ended up leaving a day early.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the smoke odor and other concerns affected your stay. When you contacted us to report the issue, we took your concern seriously and worked with our team to determine the best way to address the odor. We offered to arrange an ozone treatment for the home, which our team confirmed would require the home to be vacant for approximately 3–4 hours. We understand that you and your husband did not want to take time away from your vacation for the treatment, and we respected your decision not to proceed. We also reviewed the concern with our team, who had been at the property prior to your arrival and did not notice a smoke odor at that time. Nevertheless, we understand that your experience was different, and we apologize for the inconvenience. Regarding your request for a partial refund, our team reviewed the circumstances and, after considering the available information and the resolution offered during your stay, determined that a refund could not be provided. We understand this was not the outcome you were hoping for, and we’re sorry we were unable to reach a resolution that met your expectations. We’re also sorry to hear about the mosquito concern and the electrical issue you experienced toward the end of your stay. We understand how frustrating it can be when an issue arises. Had we been made aware of the electrical issue during your stay, we would have been happy to assist and coordinate with our team to help resolve it. We appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention. Your feedback gives us an opportunity to review the property and our processes more closely so we can continue improving the experience for future guests. We’re sorry that your stay did not meet your expectations, and we wish you and your family safe travels. With Appreciation, Your TripForth Team

This home was great for our family - while visiting with other family in the area. The house was cozy. The beds were comfortable. The support from the management company and owner was amazing. The kitchen was one of the best “stocked” in terms of dishes, pots, pans etc. - one of the best we have been in. Nice quiet location. Just a terrific experience.

Family Vacation at Whiskey Lodge

Property and location were great. Plenty of space for eight people (we only had our family of six although we had originally planned for eight) - there was the water pressure issue at the beginning due to a water filter that needed changing but was fixed right away so it was a perfect spot for us and our planned winter sports events.

We enjoyed family and friends at this mountain getaway. Visiting my daughter attending JMU, this house was great for family and friends and we could bring our family dog, which my daughter especially appreciated. The house was just as listed, clean, and comfy. We enjoyed playing games at the big kitchen table, enjoyed meals together and just chillaxin. We will be back!!!
