2/10
We have stayed in dozens of B&B’s and cottages over the last 40 years in the mountains of Virginia. This was by far the worst. Our first impression when we walked in was a dark and dreary place. We turned on every light we could find, and it was still dark. The pictures shown in the listing have been enhanced to make it seem much brighter. Our next impression was that it was infested with mice – currently and in the past. We have had a house in the mountains for 24 years and understand how the critters get in. We also understand the diligence necessary to keep the place clean of mouse droppings. We experienced the familiar odor of a dead mouse behind the cupboard that held the microwave, a dead mouse in a trap under the wardrobe upon arrival, a live mouse by the bed, fresh mouse droppings on the back bedroom windowsill and old, old mouse droppings on top of the radiant floor heaters that had been fossilized. The “fully equipped “kitchen included a dormitory refrigerator that had not been defrosted for months and a tiny apartment stove. Fortunately for us we did not cook any meals. I’m not sure if the soaking pool description is just flat out misleading or we were there at the wrong time. Other people seemed to love it. The water temperature was about 75 degrees, and any soaking pool was not to be found- maybe the water was too high. On a positive note, the screened back porch was delightful .
