4/10 Poor

The host was easy to reach for assistance finding the place and getting the heat running. However, the room and bedding were in need of cleaning. The bedding smelled unpleasant, and there were spiderwebs in the bathroom. The hot water only lasted for a minute or two before it turned cold, leaving only the sink and wash cloth as a bathing option. When we arrived, the gas wall heater wasn’t working, but the host arrived within 30 minutes to fix it. The mattresses were uncomfortable, like sleeping on a futon. Bring your own fluffy pillows. The lamp bulb was burnt out, and the ceiling fan remote batteries were dead. The TV worked well, and a password for the internet was provided. The host was friendly and communicative. We didn’t mention the hot water issue because we didn’t notice it until after they left from fixing the heater. Additionally, I recommend a new or different water heating system. The hot water wasn’t sufficient for a shower, which was frustrating. The property is in average condition overall, and it looks like something new is being built on the grounds. The Bear Hideaway is not old, but certainly not brand new as the description states. I suggest updating the property description. I also recommend checking the temperature of the refrigerator, as it didn’t feel cool inside. Lastly, I recommend cleaning the outside siding where some mold is developing, repairing the peeling paint at the top of the shower, and properly bolting the sink to the wall in the bathroom.
