Fabulous Century Home

Hi Sabine I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay. Looking forward to hosting you again next year Linda

Thank you so much for your kind words. I’m so happy you & your family enjoyed your Christmas holidays at my home. Thank you also for taking such good care of my home. All the best for a fabulous 2025!

Alaina: I'm sorry if this caused an inconvenience. I don't send out a welcome letter until 48 hours prior for security purposes. The lockbox code is included in the letter and I don't want renters having the code until a few days prior to their reservation. Regards Linda

Hi Aileen It was a pleasure to host you & your family. Thank you for taking such good care of my home. I look forward to hosting you next year. Stay safe! Linda

Natalie I'm very, very disappointed in your review. The only time I heard from you was when you arrived and requested the code to the thermostat. I did not hear from you in 3 days so I was not aware of your disappointment. This makes it extremely challenging for a host as you didn't give me an opportunity to fix what every you claim was not up to your standard. You requested a credit of $400 for 3 nights for the hot tub not working which I approved immediately. I did find it excessive but didn't argue with you. I take enormous pride in hosting my guests and am rated a SUPERHOST on another platform for over 3 years and that is the truth not an exaggeration. I find your claims to be exaggerated! As far as the "dust" I personally clean this home with another person and know it's cleaned to a high standard. I find it hard to believe that some of your guests had to use antihistamines for their 3 night stay. Why would you not have texted or called me to ask if the house could be dusted again while you were there? Do you think it may have been the spring pollen instead? I found no evidence of cobwebs on the dining chairs or light fixtures. I also did not find any evidence of mouse droppings. The bunk bed is a standard height and so is the ceiling. There is a thick gel foam memory topper on the top bunk and a feather topper on the bottom bunk. Neither have a box spring as bunk beds are not built for them and they use a mattress only. I did the additional toppers for added comfort. You did not follow the check out procedures at all. I could list all of the issues regarding your check out but it's a mute point. You left 4 windows open and the air conditioning at 68 degrees. I'm sure you would be deeply disappointed in your guests if you were hosting your party. It was a total disregard for my property. Do you go to a restaurant, finish your meal and then request a refund or discount because you didn't like it with no merit? You requested an additional $300 discount which would have been a total discount of approximately 40% of what I would have received for your 3 night stay. This home does NOT need a lot of work. Read all my reviews on this site and the other platform. I am a 4.9 with 55 glowing reviews on another site and a 4.7 with 24 great reviews on this site. Respectfully Linda

Hi Shirley I'm so glad you & your family had a wonderful Christmas. Thank you for the card made by your grand kids. It was very sweet. Stay safe! All the best for a great 2022! Linda

Thank you Natalie. You & your guests were absolutely wonderful to host. The house was spotless. I appreciate mailing back the fork you took my accident. Stay safe & I look forward to hosting you again Linda

Hi Candace I'm so glad I had the opportunity of meeting you & your lovely family. It makes me so happy when my guests have a great stay! I look forward to hosting you again. Stay safe! Linda

Hi Tim Thank you for the wonderful review. I'm so happy you had a great vacation. I look forward to hosting you again Enjoy the rest of your summer Linda

Hi Kim Thank you for your kind words. I get so much joy when my guests appreciate my home as much as I do. I look forward to hosting you again. Enjoy the rest of your summer & stay safe! Linda

Tara I'm very disappointed in your review as it's not accurate. You emailed me on Sunday evening after your departure with your issues. It's like getting food at a restaurant and complaining after you've eaten your meal that it was cold. You didn't give me a chance to address help you during your stay. I am a 4x Super host on another site and almost all of my guests state that I am very easy to contact & communicate with. I would like to address your issues 1. The hot tub is turned down to 90, which is not cold at all. It takes less than an hour to get the temperature up to 102. All jets, except for 1 are working. I am waiting for a replacement jet to be sent to me. I know that this is correct as I personally balance the chemicals on a weekly basis, which means I have to turn on the jets to get the water moving. You do have to manually rotate the ring around the jet, if someone has turned it the other way/off. 2. The thermostat does have a passcode on it, as I set it to 70. I can control it remotely. If you had texted, emailed or called me I could have turned up or down the temperature. I would have been happy to give you the code if you had given me the opportunity to assist you. 3. I apologize for the dust on the ceiling fan. I have cleaned it after your departure. I appreciate you pointing it out to me. 4. There is hand soap & dish soap under the kitchen sink. 5. The fire pit did have 4 cigarette butts in it, which I have since removed. There was no debris in the backyard or patio nor is it unkept. I did not email you back as I wanted to see the for myself what you were complaining about. I personally clean the house myself and know that the house was cleaned to the highest level. I take great pride in my house and making sure my guests have an enjoyable stay. .After your departure the province had a lock down and I had 5 reservations I had to cancel and assist the guests in getting their refund back in full. My house is fully stocked with cutlery & plates for +20, full spice drawer, every pot, pan & utensil imaginable. There are 12 hot tub towels and at least 15 bath towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash as well as an ample supply of toilet paper & paper towels. I've had reviews in the past expressing how pleased guests were in what I provided. I've stayed in numerous short term rentals where all that is provided is 2 towels , 4 plates,forks & knives. I don't feel that an explanation or apology is necessary.
