Comfortable and Nicely Furnished
We had a very nice stay at this lodge style home on Moosehead. The lake is visible from the house and easy to access. It’s also close enough to town and shopping to be convenient. The pictures are accurate; the home is well decorated and comfortable. We found everything we needed in the kitchen.
Cons:
The grill doesn’t function very well and is prob on its last legs.
The heating system is not ideal, as it’s locked and must be controlled remotely by the owner, who also turned it down once without asking us. She’s very nice, and I realize she’s had some issues in the past with people turning up the temp to rather high levels, but I think taking away complete control is not ideal for good customer service. I am a VRBO host (premiere and 5 star property) and feel that if people pay to rent, it’s within their right to choose a temperature, according to their wants and needs, unless they somehow might cause damage to the hvac system. If a guest wants warm temps, a good host needs to just eat the expense as part of being in the hospitality business. For the time they’ve rented, it’s their house, and choosing a temperature without asking permission is kind of a right. Just my two cents as a vrbo host and frequent renter.
