'Lil Red Hen' Cottage in the Boone Area w/ Hot Tub

Reviews

• Lots of Potential

  3/5

  Charming old farm house that is decorated nicely with a warm homey feeling. This home has no Mountain View, but does sit along a creek. If you don’t mind a view of the highway and wind blown trash along the creek. The hot tub was not working correctly, it had piles of dirt inside. The owner did send a repair man out, but it still had dirt in it the next day. A new cleaning crew is advised, dirty floors, bedding with dog hair, and dusty decor. The home has one working shower otherwise baths with hand held shower heads. The heating systems are challenging. Lighting the two old gas fireplaces were dangerous and difficult. We never did get one of the fireplaces working. This home has a lot of potential, but pricey for what you get. A big plus was its proximity to West Jefferson’s cute downtown and the local grocery store.

• Cute but dirty

  3/5

  This is a very quaint, old house in need of a new cleaning crew. Vacuumed up several critters, dust bunnies and cobwebs myself, before I could put kids to bed. Table top, fans and window AC units were filthy. Both the owners and management company were aware of our cleanliness complaint, but chose to ignore it and stand by their cleaning company instead. Just because they had time stamps from when they cleaned the house does not mean they cleaned the house well! Owners would do themselves a favor by walking through...one look at the walls and ceilings, and they wouldn't be able to miss the dust.Grounds were beautiful and kids loved exploring outside. 4 bathrooms but only 1 stand-up shower. More like camping than vrbo-ing.
