Our permanent annual Getaway!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/06/09
Our first family vacation (without friends or relatives accompanying) was terrific at THL! The scenic mountain beauty, abounding pines, perfect cottage for 3 big enough for 4. I loved the quaint fully stocked kitchen, crisply pressed, starched linens and drapes, modernly large shower with fast, hot water! Hubby thoroughly enjoyed clean grounds, easy town roads access, engaging (not overbearing) managers-owners who treated us as guests always hope to be received. Thorough yet unobtrusive daily housekeeping, safe modern outdoor playground for youngsters and the sofa with queen pullout bed for our child, ample leg room and creature comfort for cozy table-dining, relaxed sprawling, videos, etc, inside our right-sized quiet cottage. Many online cottage rentals we viewed (and many hotels too) had miserable reviews, gouging fees, noisy, and worst filthy or greedily managed or thrown-together thrift store haphazard decor or leaky roof, broken plumbing. NOT HERE! Mgrs enjoy their job, our unit functioned perfectly throughout, theme and decor excellent, mgrs happily answered just enough tourism info to springboard our existing plans, were happy to see guests' needs met and go the extra mile. No rowdy neighbors, cottage-critter worries, or vulnerable personal possessions here. Tucked just off main roads enough to enjoy window-watching morning squirrels and listen to distant ducks. Our online discovery of THL and online purchase was easy as 123, done in a couple minutes, smooth, hassle-free! Despite our unexpected traffic and weather delays, a pleasant vacation was our assurance, as we were quickly given dedicated parking with clear walkpaths amidst winter bluster, and our own fireplace warming us in no time at all. Timber Haven pays attention to the details for its guests, so they can just relax and enjoy. The freshly stocked kitchen and bath baskets, and coupons were great, and whether we fetched our Continental Breakfast selections or phoned for room service during 'weather', smiles and good cheer accompanied all deliveries. Our queen bed, bureaus, closets and mirrored vanities gave us plenty of storage space. Next visit, we'd like to try the massage package, or... When you visit, don't forget adding your trip quips or compliments to your cottage's Guest Diary.
