Our reviews speak for themselves...a 4 star

Review submitted: March 6, 2013   Date of arrival: March 6, 2013

We work real hard at establishing fair prices at the beginning of every season. We offer FREE nights, 2 night specials, reduced midweek prices and a Frequent Guest Discount to our best guests. We do this to make our home more attractive to the budget conscious Guest.

Giving unfair discounts to one Guest over another, is not being fair to our best Guests. We have about 20 people a year, who treat our home well, and we reward them, with our coveted Frequent Guest Discount.

We typically don't give discounts of an individual nature, unless it is warranted by very unusual circumstances. We don't subscribe to the practice of giving in to: after the rental is completed; if we don't refund some money, they will 'write a review".

We should've become suspicious when we are asked for unwarranted discounts along every step of the rental property. Then within an hour after arriving they are going through the cabinets to find something. They hadn't even checked the hot tub? Then when we send out Maintenance Man to survey what was supposedly wrong, while he is replenishing their wood supply, they turn off the lights on him so he can work in the dark? Unfortunately he did as they hoped...he left.
It is unfortunate that VRBO cannot control that sort of behavior, thus, people who are of that sort, have the ability to hold owners hostage.
Our other reviews speak for themselves.
People who responded to VRBO survey about us rated us a 4 star rental.
Respondents to our survey, that is sent to every Guest, said
*the pricing was as good or better than others
*the Owner was responsive
*the house was neat and orderly
*the house was exactly as advertised
*directions were good, and our key safe is an outstanding feature.

20 of our Guests(in a year) are invited, and like it enough, they return:
THOSE ARE THE FOLKS WE BELIEVE DESERVE A DISCOUNT.

We are not perfect, nor do we market ourselves to be. We offer a fair price, for a comfortable home, that is all.
The only change in the house from our pix, is, we have upgraded the TV to a flat screen HDTV.
When you come, IF YOU DO HAVE A PROBLEM...you will experience what 98% of our Guests experienced...an Owner who is VERY responsive.
COME AND TRY US FOR YOURSELF, and hopefully we will give you a discount...the one we enjoy giving, the Frequent Guest kind.

After taking such good care of our home, we would like to invite you back with a discount.

We had a wonderful vacation – everything in the house was great.
I do recognize Whitegrass as I went there twice and learned how to cross country. We had lots of snow and EVERYONE enjoyed that immensely as we don’t get much here. Some did downhill – we all went sledding at Blackwater Falls though some only made it up the hill twice – us older folks lasted longer than the younger ones ha ha. The hot tub was great, the master bedroom was great, and we made a fire every night. I would recommend your house to anyone.

Had everything we needed
We stayed with our 3 kids and our dog. We got lucky and had lots of snow for skiing. They kept the roads cleared enough that we could get in and out everyday to ski. The cabin had everything we needed. Great location for us. We would stay here again.

the survey said...we're a 4 star

Review submitted: December 29, 2012   Date of arrival: December 29, 2012

We are happy to be considered a 4 star vacation rental by VRBO, and look forward to having you stay with us..
The survey we sent every renter results show that 86% of responders say our prices are the same or better than comparables. Responded favorably to our payment process. Overwhelmingly responded to the house being neat and orderly when they arrived.
98% says the Owner is accessible and easy to deal with. And 100% thought our key safe was an outstanding feature.
We do not pretend to to be perfect, and nothing in our marketing is intended that way. We are as fair and honest as we can be, and operate our rental homes with the intention of winning your business in the future. WE WANT YOU BACK, is our business theme. We look forward to renting our home to you

While we encourage reviews from out Guests; we send a personal survey on 10 different aspects of the rental. It is how we improve. We in turn post their comments on VRBO.We have been successfully renting our home since 2000. Our Frequent Guest Discount is a testimony to our mantra~"WE WANT YOU BACK' REMEMBER (our business model) We don’t want to keep your security deposit. We rent homes…we work hard, marketing, and renting our 2 homes. Our Housekeeping and Maintenance is the best in the Valley. Our goal is to have you find everything in order; realize you got a hell of a deal; treat the home like you own it; have a wonderful time; THEN COME BACK AND DO IT AGAIN IN THE FUTURE. We hope you have the same goal…. HAVE FUN

We rented this house with 4 other friends in March 2006, and we had a blast! It was close to slopes - we walked to lift and could see skiers going down beginner's trail from the balcony! Plus, it was a short drive to Cannan Valley-we didn't ski there, but we went tubing and had fun! Everything else we needed was there - dishes, washer/dryer and of course, HOT TUB! Only down - kind of hard to find if you're coming in at night. I would definitely come back to Interlude!!

Thanks for letting us stay in your home. Everyone thought the house was great and had a wonderful time. Everything was smooth and easy during the booking and payment process. The only problem we really encountered during the whole trip was the directions that map quest gave but even that was a minor problem. The discount is definitely something that sparks my interest in returning. The internet was very helpful in finding stores and restaurants. I thought the price was great...Your price was very reasonable and I had no complaints whatsoever. I also thought the security deposit was reasonable as well. The key safe was also a nice thing to have. The house in general seemed to be in order. The hot tub was a big hit after being on the slopes all day but my personal favorite was the balcony off the master bedroom. I thought there was plenty of furniture, both inside and outside. I can't comment on the games or TVs because I didn't use them. I usually would grab a book and just enjoy the quiet. I think you should leave things the way they are. It was perfect. I would definitely consider returning to AN INTERLUDE during the winter, I was also interested in your other house ASPENWOODS as well but I think that would be more of a summer/spring house. everything was perfect and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thanks again.

WONDERFUL!!! Our weekend was spectacular. You were right about the hot tub, very relaxing. We loved the king size bed, we probably would have tried to take it with us if it could have fit in the car. We are interested in renting from you again in the future and thinking about Aspenwoods for next time.

Thanks for the note. We loved the house and hope to come back this fall. It was well kept and prepared - The master suite was great! My girlfriend really appreciated the bathroom and the kitchen was very functional. We didn't get to use the fireplace but look forward to that when we get back there. As for the deposit , I would appreciate it if you could return it via US mail. Thanks and we'll touch base when we plan our next trip there.
