The "Friendly Fires" listing is inaccurate and misleading
Publié le 25 juill. 2024 sur HomeAwayWe were shocked and bitterly disappointed at the state of this property. It does not deserve its 9.8/10 rating.
It is littered with tarp-covered piles of construction materials and equipment. Messy and disorganized. A disturbing and disheartening welcome to the property.
The path down to the cottage is steep and difficult to navigate. Randomly placed rocks do not provide safe or secure footing.
The cottage itself is rough and poorly finished. Exposed electrical wires, cables and junction boxes lead one to question the safety of the work that has been done. It does not appear to meet professional standards.
In the "tea house" where my husband and I slept, the sink was without proper fixtures - no faucet or taps. Water poured directly out from a pipe, with the flow controlled by valves affixed to the counter.
The waterfront is extremely weedy and poorly maintained. The dock feels unstable and wobbly and it appears that some of the supports are either missing or broken.
The cottage itself was not clean. The floors were gritty and sandy throughout. The fridge had clearly not been cleaned.
We stayed one night and left quickly the next day .
We have previously rented other properties and been quite satisfied. Our experience at Friendly Fires was totally different. Along with the financial loss we have incurred, the much-anticipated holiday with our daughter and 3 grandchildren from Seattle was not to be.
We hope this review serves as a warning to others.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Your feedback is important and we rely on hearing from our guests to ensure we're doing a great job.
As you shared in your review, this was not the case for you and for this we sincerely apologize. Our customers are totally the heart of our business and have been for the over ten years during which we have been hosting short term rentals. We understand you were disappointed and unhappy with what you found when you arrived at Friendly Fires Getaway. We apologize again for that, and wish we could make it right for you. However, you make it clear in your review that this will be a difficult situation from which to recover.
I am Robin and am the host here. I would like to communicate with you regarding your dissatisfaction with our cottage. I would like to somehow make amends for your unhappiness with us and what we offer. We do our best to represent out cottage as just that, a fun and inviting place in which to spend time at the edge of a beautiful lake. If you feel we misrepresented our cottage and its amenities, please know that we will make every effort to correct that. The large number of photos we have available on the booking sites such as Vrbo are our attempt to accurately and correctly present the location, the cottage as well as its extensive facilities which we want our guests to use and enjoy. We are sincerely apologetic that especially in your case, we failed in this.

Lovely cottage
Publié le 2 juill. 2024 sur HomeAwayFriendly fires was a lovely place to stay, on a nice lake.
My one bad thing to say would be that it was supposed to have a fully stocked kitchen but was missing a few basic amenities like aluminum foil and paper towel.
Overall I would recommend.

Thank you for the lovely review. As far as the amenities, we have extras in the back room. If I had known, we could have pointed you to where they are. We will put in a note for other guests to see.

Relaxing week with friends in a chalet surrounded by nature
Publié le 26 août 2023 sur HomeAwayWe had a lovely week with friends at Friendly Fires Getaway. This unique chalet is in a private location surrounded by trees and lake views. The beautiful lake is clear and a good size for exploring in the canoe and kayak. We swam in the lake most days. We enjoyed the hot tub. The fire pit area is the best we’ve ever seen with lots of seating, lighting, grates for barbecuing and of course, an amazing lake view.
The chalet itself has plenty of seating including a huge sunroom with a wood stove and a spacious yet cozy sitting room with a gas fireplace. There are lots of spots throughout the property to curl up with a good book, as well as plenty of room to enjoy meals and conversation with our friends.
The bedrooms can only be accessed by going outside which some might consider inconvenient, however it affords lots of privacy and is ideal if you have some early risers and others who like to sleep in. The two second floor bedrooms and a powder room are accessible via outside stairs. The bunky is on the same level as the main chalet. The teahouse is up a bit via a path and has a bathroom with a shower. It should be called the treehouse as it is all windows looking onto the trees and lake. Beds in all the bedrooms were comfy. The main building has a powder room with laundry facilities and the shower is located in the sauna off the kitchen. The kitchen was well equipped.
Robin is a super host and replied right away to any questions we had. We had a really wonderful stay

Really Enjoyed Out Week
Publié le 1 août 2023 sur HomeAwayWe loved our stay at Friendly Fires and had a wonderful time. The cottage has a number of unique features including the hot tub, sauna, BBQ and smoke house, well appointed kitchen, lovely fire pit and numerous quiet areas. The water toys were great (kayaks and canoe) and the swimming platform was well used (the area around the dock was a bit weedy). Communications with the owner and his responsiveness were outstanding. The 4 star rating (vice 5) would only apply to a group with very young children as the bedrooms are a bit spread out (two BR are in separate buildings (problem for an infant) and there is no beach area for little ones. That said, the 4-6 year old young ones reveled in the frogs, turtles and fish they were able to catch (and release) and the swimming off the swimming platform more than met the need.

Thank you Jim and Alice. It was a pleasure to host you. We appreciate you coming.
There is a 2 bedroom space upstairs, 2 bedrooms on the same floor for infants or a small child. But, it is a point for people to note, if you have small children who need supervision, there are separate buildings.
