Liked: Check-in, communication
We arrived late due to unforeseen circumstances so our hostess ordered pizza and bottles of water for us. That was very nice.We didn’t realize how far up a mountain this property is. The drive to the property was steep with many sharp curves. We had no hot water at one point our first morning. The next day we had NO water at all.Both of these issues were resolved as promptly as possible. Our last day there we found ourselves without running water again. Our host was very apologetic that these things happened. The VRBO listing stated 6 bedrooms. There were not 6 bedrooms. There were 5 bedrooms. Most of the mattresses were fine except for the one on the second floor. The pool and sauna were great. Due to the water and hot water issues and distance up the mountain, I wouldn’t stay here again. It’s unfortunate because the home is huge and offers many amenities.
