Fully Furnished, Sleeps 5, Directly On Snowmobile Trail, 90 days

Thanks for your feedback. Was a pleasure having you. To clarify on the cleaning policy: We don't ask that folks fully clean the place before leaving - just that it not be left in a condition that takes us an unreasonably long time to clean after their stay. We don't tack on a big cleaning fee up front like most places nowadays, but ask that things like dirty dishes, refrigerator spills and splattered stove grease be dealth with by the guests to avoid a cleaning fee post stay. Yes, we've had prior guests leave the place in very poor condition, requiring 3 or 4 extra hours of additional cleaning in years past, which has led to the current policy. Enjoy the rest of the summer! :) Chris

We know what this review is really about. Not cool. First, you pulled in 3 hours before check in time, expecting it to be ready. You either didn’t read the listing, or you’re very focussed on what you desire and feel entitled to. Second, you booked for the Jericho ATV festival weekend. The only weekend of the year where the rates for all lodging in the area is elevated because there’s so little lodging for such a big festival . You paid extra for lodging directly on the ATV trail on festival weekend. That was the value you got. We don’t advertise as a couples retreat, with king size beds and new furniture. We have accurate photos and description of the property in the listing. Again, you either didn’t read the listing, or felt entitled to something more. While I’m not surprised you didn’t appreciate that I made a 35 mile round trip to Walmart on Sunday to get replacement batteries for your TV remote, faulting me for thinking the TV wasn’t turning on because perhaps the remote batteries were dead, rather than figuring out that you somehow tripped a breaker, is quite unreasonable. It’s a cabin in the woods - there are ladybugs, spiders, mice and mosquitos. We spray and clean and set traps regularly to keep things nice, but if you go rifling through the back of the cabinets you’ll find that there is no getting rid of all of it all the time. All these things, despite being alarming to some city folks, are quite normal in the country. When you book a property in the future I respectfully request that you read the listing, look at all the photos, and realize what it is rather than lamenting the gap between that and what you feel entitled to.
