  : Beside the two negatives mentioned above it was exactly the cute, fun, quiet little getaway pad we were hoping for. Its peaceful, quiet, we even saw a bear walk through the complex! The hosts are most thoughtful and want everyone who stays here to have fun. There's a super fun projection tv system, oversized bean bag chairs, gas fireplace and fun art on the walls. It's an end unit with tons of sunshine and the wildlife watching from the balcony in the morning is tops!
  : Due to COVID19, the outdoor pool and indoor game room was closed. That obviously is out of the hosts hands however my point is that someone knew this before I booked and should have done the right thing. This should have been disclosed prior to rental and the rental fee adjusted accordingly to reflect the diminished amenities. It doesn't feel good to pay for things you cannot use.Downstairs there was an incredibly strong odor of mint or eucalyptus coming from the headboard of the bed. Maybe someone prior had spilled some essential oil or something? There was no air freshener...we looked. It was almost a deal breaker...like sleep upstairs on the floor deal breaker. It was so strong it burned our eyes and throat. I ended up scrubbing it down with soap and water to try to get rid of it but I can't say that it helped. We couldn't keep the bedroom door closed or it would just build up. I have asthma so this was rough.
