Great property! Poorly maintained A/C!
We arrived and found the property very clean and very well furnished. View from the rear deck was amazing! However, we quickly learned the upstairs A/C unit was not operating properly. We called the Blue Ridge Property management group and they responded very quickly. The representative was very patient and walked me thru the process of checking the thermostat and filters. The upstairs filter at the air return vent was found to be filthy and needing replacement. We spent nearly two hours on the phone and with maintenance (one general maintenance rep and one HVAC rep) trying to explain the situation so they could troubleshoot the units. In the end, the upstairs compressor was found to have a leak and had to be recharged. However, after the technician added gas to the unit, the unit still didn’t work properly the last night of our stay. So, we spent two nights where our guests had to endure temps near 80 degrees due the HVAC system not working properly. Last thing we wanted to have this situation while trying to spend a relaxing weekend with our family. Frankly, we should be reimbursed for some of the cost of the stay.
