What started as an exciting chance to possibly see the aurora borealis turned into a stay best described as beautiful… and very cold.The positives first: the home is clean and aesthetically pleasing inside. Unfortunately, the interior temperature never rose above 66F, even as outside temperatures dropped into the low teens. While stylish, the home struggled to stay warm in winter conditions.There are two electric wall-mounted fireplace heaters (one in the front room and one in the master bedroom) and one portable heater, which suggests the hosts were already acutely aware of the home’s heating limitations. Despite this, one of the king bedrooms was too cold to sleep in, and guests had to use the smaller bedroom with two queen beds to accommodate a warmer sleeping area, where the portable heater ran all night. Sleeping with doors shut was manageable, but stepping into the living room and kitchen in the morning felt like walking into a deep freeze!Check-in is 4:00 PM and checkout 10:00 AM. The hot tub was not ready upon arrival; we later received an email explaining it needed to be manually adjusted. In winter, it would be reasonable to expect it to be ready at check-in. Due to this we could use it! Other notes:Guests are asked to take trash to the city park (Garden City Park) instead of having an on-site container.While the inside is lovely, the outside feels neglected. The stairs are poorly constructed, have holes, and could be considered a safety hazard!
