Barry answered all my questions prior to booking his property. He was quick to respond, less than an hour, and was thorough in answering my questions.
My family had one little glitch checking-in, as the house was not ready at the given time due to housecleaning running behind. When I contacted Barry, and told him the situation, he was apologetic and immediately rectified the situation by allowing my family to extended our check-out time, as we were unable to check-in at the agreed upon time.
The house cleaning lady was apologetic and because she lives close by, she lent my kids a couple of sleds to use while she finished cleaning the house.
The house was clean and there were no issues setting up the house. My family never left the property as they were able to sled and play in the snow right on site. The National Forest abutts the the back of the property and they were able to do a little hiking the last day.
Overall, the house was cozy, with the woodburning stove, my kids loved trying out the different beds each night and discovered their love of Scrabble.
Thanks Barry for the opportunity to enjoy your home! We would definitely stay again when we plan another snow play trip. You were a gracious host!
