.This is one of the most beautiful and heartfelt reviews we have ever had. We’re so grateful that you enjoyed the property as much as you did. As I was reading your words out loud to Amanda, my wife, and the designer of the home, I got emotional with tears of joy. When I was through reading, I suggested to Amanda we should, with your permission, simply cut and paste your review into our property description. 😊 Thank you so much for making our night. Much love, Rick and Amanda.

My wife and I have been super hosts with this property for the better part of the last six years. It is a gorgeous property and the general consensus from every guest who stays here is that it’s more beautiful in person, and that the photographs don’t do it justice. That’s exactly the way you seemed to be enjoying the property when you first checked in. I heard lovely message messages from you about the style and how charming and lovely everything was. Everything seemed fine until on check out day when you hit us with these alleged problems that you never communicated to us when you first experienced them. First of all, on your check out, you indicated that it was very rude of us to have heavy construction equipment working on our property during the stay. When I heard this, I immediately called my landscape, architect and General Contractor to see if by chance, even though we don’t have anything going on with them now, they would’ve had any of their equipment up there. The answer in both cases was no. When I was at the property myself last week, I saw the remnants of orange pylons and orange fencing, indicative of a new fiber optic system going into the street in our neighborhood. I have absolutely no control over what the city or county do when they’re ready to do it, and I’m surprised you would score down our house that dramatically for something like that. Second, you claim we made you clean our house and accumulate the trash in the kitchen. Once again, just not true. Every guest has seen that there is a cyclone fence and enclosed trash area just off the backside of the house. You cannot miss it. It’s literally 10 feet from the barbecue grill and listed in the instruction manual. How you could say I forced you to clean the house when every other guest knows where the trash is is beyond reasonable. Our cleaning instructions are basic and in no way require you to clean. In both cases above, I would’ve expected a phone call or a text which I would’ve immediately gotten back to you and communicated where the trash was. Lastly, true, we had run out of fluid in our ethonal burning fireplace in the living room. I suggested the alternative fireplaces were all available in all in play. When I was at the property just yesterday, I saw there was a little firewood left and we would’ve been more than happy to have let you used it. Most people, however, bring their own firewood, just like milk/bread. It does not say we provide this amenity.

Hey Shelley, thank you for the review but I’m confused… The review was very positive yet you only gave us one star out of five. Was that a mistake? If there is a way you can either go back in and modify your review or delete it and redo it I would greatly appreciate it.
