• Disappointing Experience, Major Improvements Needed

  3/5

  While the Fairply Log Home offers ample space for larger groups, it unfortunately falls short in several critical areas. We encountered a number of significant issues during our stay that impacted our overall experience.

  First and foremost, the home was not prepared for guests upon our arrival. Essential items like light bulbs, batteries, and tissues were missing or in need of replacement, which should have been checked beforehand. In addition, the kitchen was poorly stocked — we found dirty dishes, glassware, utensils, and bakeware in the cupboards, which was a huge letdown.

  Another major concern was the dangerous ice buildup outside the back door. Not only did this make it nearly impossible to access the deck, but it also posed a serious safety hazard. The condition of the property’s outdoor areas in winter needs significant attention.

  The home lacked sufficient linens and towels at the start of our stay, requiring us to request extras. The dining room seating is also very limited, with only eight seats available and an additional three folding chairs, which felt inadequate for our group. The outdoor table, which could have been a nice feature, was frozen into the deck, making it unusable during our winter stay, even on warmer days.

  On a positive note, the fireplace was a highlight — the fire starter provided made it easy to enjoy a cozy evening, and the couches were comfortable for relaxing indoors.

  Ultimately, the home needs a major deep cleaning and restocking to meet basic expectations. While it has potential with its spacious layout, I would not recommend this property until the maintenance and safety issues are addressed and the property is properly prepared for guests.

• Perfect mountain getaway

  5/5

  This home was spacious enough to accommodate my family and friends. The home was beautiful and location felt very secluded in a beautiful mountain neighborhood just minutes from FairPlay . I would definitely stay here again!

• Beautiful cabin

  5/5

  We found everything as advertised. The property manager was quick to respond. There was an ample supply of paper towels, toilet paper, and soap. The showers even had shampoo and body wash, which was a nice surprise. We loved the town of FairPlay. We saw moose, elk, and deer on the property during our stay.
