About this house rental
Themed around some of the great explorers and conservationists of Europe, this lodge brings to life the thrill of great adventures through the themed rooms that tell the stories of these icons. This lodge features 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, a private game area, full kitchen, hot tub, easy access to the onsite trail, and beautiful ridgeline views with the sounds of Lands Creek rushing past below. In this lodge one will learn about people such as David Livingstone, Jane Goodall, Roald Amundsen, and Alexander von Humboldt who all made incredible contributions to the world and how we view nature today.

The home does not have a fireplace even though the link provided in the checkin email states it does as well as the welcome binder in the house. The downstairs is freezing since the only thermostat is upstairs. The master bedroom doesn’t have blinds or curtains so it is very bright in the morning and unable to sleep in. All of the towels were damp when we arrived so we had to take them all down and dry them. The kitchen table was still dirty so we had to clean that when we arrived. None of the leaves were sweeper off of the decking which was dangerous hazard causing the steps to be very slick so we had to take care of that as well. The hot tub was not working properly but the owner quickly responded to help us troubleshoot the issue unfortunately took it a day to warm up once we figured it out. The vacuum doesn’t work so we were unable to vacuum up the rug while we were there. The garage door is broken, the assembly has come off the wall.
There isn’t a good view but it is very close to town which was helpful. The place provided many kitchen utensils which was nice.
