Avis Gorgeous Victorian-Style House w/ Hilltop Pool!

Hi Molly, thanks for giving us your feedback about this property. The owner has some feedback of their own: I’m glad that you found my home charming, as do I. While a 170-year-old home has some quirks that demand a lot of attention, you will be pleased to know that I have a full staff of support personnel that lives in a separate building who are solely responsible for maintaining the home. As I continue to improve the home, I can assure future guests that every effort is being made to create a comfortable and cozy stay for each guest. Additional cleaning, repairs, and updates to amenities continue to be added. I wish you had let me know about being uncomfortable upstairs because you missed out on the portable 2nd air conditioning unit up there that could have been turned on. I hope that you will consider coming back to see the extensive improvements that are being made to this exquisite antique, unique home.

Hi Shaun, the homeowner has asked us to share this response: - Thank you for the feedback. I’m so glad that you, your family, and the dogs were happy in the home. We are always making improvements to the nearly 170-year-old house and grounds, and all the feedback is greatly appreciated. There is always something to do to a centuries-old property to make it a little more modern and comfortable. - We have been testing various water systems to remove any of the naturally occurring mineral scents that come with fresh well water brought in from deep within the mountains. - I noticed that a few of the bulbs were out in random areas after your departure; however, a flip of one of the breakers downstairs brought them all back to life. There was a space heater out in one of the back bedrooms, and it was likely the culprit. They ALWAYS need to be plugged directly into the wall and not into surge protectors or extension cords; otherwise, they will surely trip one of the safety breakers installed for everyone’s protection. - In the future, please reach out if there are minor issues like this, and I can quickly walk you through any fixes. Old homes like this have their quirky ways, so a quick email or phone call can easily get our guests back on track when needed. - I'm not sure what hole you might be speaking of in the bathroom, as there is none, but that room is currently being transformed into two bathrooms to divide the laundry bath and the half bath in the guest room into two larger full baths with showers and bathtubs in both. It’s possible that you felt a small depression in the flooring where preparations are being made to the subfloors for this construction project to come. - It sounds like you guys had a wonderful time up at the house, and we look forward to having you back in the future. It is a special place that is well used and loved by us and our many happy guests, who come to our home to enjoy an experience of hiding away in a magical little corner of the world.
