Avis Secluded Home w/Deck, Gas Grill, Hot Tub, High-Speed WiFi, Private Beach, W/D

Wonderful stay!

Perfect for a girls getaway to just escape the crazy world

This home was very clean and had everything we needed. It was very close to town and also to Schweitzer Mountain, which was the reason for our stay. The hot tub was an excellent addition after a day on the mountain. Definitely recommend for a winter getaway!

Spent 2 days here on the way back home from a week in Banff. Secluded, new and clean. Not tub worked great. It was a bit out of town up a windy dirt road but made for a nice secluded spot.

Blah blah I despise click through stuff so all I’ll say is “GREAT” now leave me alone, have a blessed day

This home has everything you could ever ask for, to relax and recharge. Looking forward to returning.

Perfect

Hello, I'm writing to follow up on my recent stay at this property. We appreciated how clean the space was, but were very disheartened to find one of the loft's cable rails was missing. This is extremely dangerous for children and it rendered the upstairs unusable for us with my daughter, a toddler. I'm shocked that you found this to be an appropriate condition to rent out,, and implore you to fix this before renting to anyone else. Another frustration from the trip was the misinformation provided regarding the beach. When choosing where to stay, we selected this house after learning it had nearby access to a private beach. We were told it was "a short 10 minute walk," but upon arriving realized it was actually a mile and down a nearly 500 foot hill. This is an unreasonable distance and elevation gain to expect families to trek. Instead, we chose to drive down to the lakeshore but were confused when there wasn't any nearby parking so ended up leaving. I'd also like to provide ideas and feedback about how you may wish to improve the rental for future visitors. The listing says it sleeps 8, but there were only 4 deck chairs outside which was strange - one of us had to sit on the ground. If the house can support 8 people, a larger coffee pot would also be a nice perk.. the tiny pot could barely serve two adults. The south-facing deck gets incredibly hot but there's no shade - an umbrella would go a long way. Overall, we were very disappointed with these unexpected surprises because we weren't able to use the amenities we expected and had planned for. Thank you,

we enjoyed our stay thoroughly the house was OK. Nice open space etc. However it was not finished it felt like it was still somewhat of a construction zone and needed to be finished. Overall a nice day.

We stayed 8 nights in February. The house kept us warm and dry (but annoyed), we were able to make our dinners, and the privacy was wonderful. However, I would not recommend staying for longer than a weekend. Here are my recommendations for improvement: - The beds are all thin memory foam mattresses on cheap metal frames. They are very noisy and not particularly comfortable (and low to the ground). - Combine that with very thin walls and floors/ceilings, don't plan to sleep much if you have someone in the loft or room above you. You can hear everything. A metal water bottle falling over sounds like a small explosion.. - Kitchen needs to be better stocked. We had no fry pan (Vacasa brought us 2), one burnt cookie sheet, one small saucepan (about 2qts) and one giant 8qt pot. Don't plan on baking. The utensils look like they were pilfered from a cafeteria and there are very few plates, bowls, cups, utensils so we had to run the dishwasher twice a day (5 of us). They had 1 wine glass (that part was funny). - The small dining table only has 4 chairs for a house that sleeps a lot more. We had to bring a rolling desk chair up from the cold basement and squish it around the table. - The doors were very creaky. Vacasa brought us WD-40 for us to fix that ourselves. - The windows either don't have curtains or too small of curtains (don't cover when fully stretched). Upper bedroom had a rod, but no curtain so we had to use the two thin fleece blankets from the couch. The high/angled windows have a very wrinkly tinting film over them. Ugly, but it helped. - I am a little too old to keep all of my clothes on the floor. No shelves, no bookcases, no dressers. Only a few hangers (Vacasa brought more), but not even a stool to put my luggage up on. Terrible for a long stay. - There are no rugs, except two tiny ones in front of shower. It is a very cold laminate floor (fake wood) throughout the whole house. In fact, there is no artwork, no knick knacks. It is a cold looking house. Not cozy. - The basement has concrete floors. Don't count on that 'bonus' room with futon to be inhabitable. - The wifi is satellite, but it is very slow (ok for the tv though). Had to do computer work via our cellphone hotspots. - House needs a welcome kit with map of property as it was advertised to have acreage. Positives: - Vacasa responded right away. - The heating system and fireplace are great. - Kitchen isn't well stocked, but the appliances worked just fine.
