Great Girls Weekend

Four of us stayed at Almost Heaven for a weekend away. House was perfect for our needs. We ventured to Terra Alta to visit High Ground Brewery (definitely recommend). Will definitely consider returning for future weekends. Only suggestion? Listing where we could get fire wood. We asked three different stores (after each recommended the other) to no avail. No fire for us.

Grandma and Grandpa 's house

The house has a very homey feel to it. It feels like you're staying at your grandparents' house. We loved the hot tub and made good use of it. The heat worked real well. A couple notes/ suggestions. Ad needs to be changed about what is provided. Ad says no toilet paper, trash bags, paper towels, dishwasher pods or trash bags. But all those items were actually proved in the welcome basket, so I needlessly packed them. I was pleasantly surprised that although not provided, other tenants left other items like hand soap in the bathroom and dish soap. As a rule, I think hand soap, and shower soap and shampoo should be provided like a hotel would.Also, the location of the ceiling fan in the middle bedroom is unsafe while climbing into the bunk bed.Also, the wood stoves being advertised is a little deceiving because there was no wood or fire provided to light them.Otherwise, everything else was good.
