5 bedroom Oasis in the heart of Fairmont Hot Springs

The kitchen had great amenities except for a Kuerig. A suggestion would be a hand held shower head. Also, one in our group has allergies so unscented detergent would be another suggestion. Beds were comfortable.

Such a spacious place for a family reunion! The bedrooms were comfortable, the bathrooms nicely renovated, the playroom/TV room had such fun things for the kids to do, and there was ample parking. The host was incredibly communicative with almost instant responses to my messages. We loved the fire table in the evenings once the kids were asleep. So much space for everyone to eat, with kids inside and adults on the patio. I don't normally stay in pet-friendly homes, but our son wanted to bring his dog. For a home that is pet-friendly, it smelt fresh. The hosts have thought of everything: great appliances too! Only drawback was the basement bedrooms are noisy with footsteps and clatter from the kitchen directly upstairs. An extra bar fridge would have been a bonus as the men claimed the fridge before the women did, (and they got ousted if they wanted fresh food!!). This was a perfect place for families as the furniture is loved and we didn’t have to be stressing over spills or small feet on the couch etc. Many cute farmhouse-themed knick knacks scattered around the house. Oh! And a yummy welcome package of bits’n pieces! Overall, a great spot for families. Thank you, Tara!

The house was great, lots of room for all our guests. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our meals. Lots of towels and everything was very clean. As we were there in the middle of summer it was hot, the fans and AC units helped.

Felt underwhelmed and like the property is mislabelled. We specifically sought out a place with air conditioning - we know very well how hot the summers can be. Unfortunately, the "AC" advertised is not what we would consider AC. Yes, there was a window unit in the living room, however that did not cool the whole place. It only cooled that sitting area - the bedrooms were absolutely roasting, and with small children, you have to close bedroom doors (noise). Those rooms became saunas - half way through the trip, we had to move the children to the basement to try to keep them cool. I recommend the owners provide a fan per bedroom, as well as update the listing to reflect the type of "AC" that is available. Very easy check in process, very easy to find. The kitchen was stocked, more things than you would ever need. There were several extra bath towels which was also great. Unfortunately, we found a few things were not clean when we arrived (microwave had food in it, kitchen sink/faucet greasy, dead bugs on window sills etc.). Having "just been cleaned the day before", this shouldn't have been the case. The owner explained there was a different cleaner hired - unfortunately though, that doesn't settle well for us as these are still COVID times and you lose a bit of trust immediately when the place isn't as clean as expected. The kitchen table does seat 8 but there were 6 dining chairs. There was enough seating for 5 in the upstairs living room. The basement was cool and very welcomed on the hot summer days. The kids play area in the basement was fantastic - our kids used it every day! A couple other issues: the railing to the basement fell off the wall (Saturday), and I was told they couldn't fix until Tuesday some time until I said we had a 70 year old coming that would need it - then they were able to find a contractor to fix it Monday. We also had an ant problem in the house - we set up traps, which the owner did offer to refund after I mentioned we'd purchased them. ($10 but I said not to bother at that point as we were growing frustrated). The two king beds are very soft with large divots from sleeping - need replacing. Other beds were fine. There is no area to play outside, nor playgrounds nearby. Kids played on deck but needed to be supervised as bears do frequent the area. I believe the owner felt bad about our experience, we were sent half the cleaning fee in the end to make up for the issues but really we felt very over charged.
