Charming Montrose Family Home: Block to Downtown!

Reviews

• Functional

  1/5

  This VRBO is over 100 years old. Door knobs, likely original since the house was built in 1912, somewhat latch to keep bedroom door shut, not lock. Other doors have to use modern hardwares to keep bedroom and toilet doors close. One bathroom downstairs has a tub with 2 shower curtains surrounding it. When you shower, it has to be pulled around the entire tub, you’ll feel pretty claustrophobic. The inner curtain is w/in a few inches of your left and right arms. There’s no place to keep shampoo/shower gel in the tub. The floor creaks, some part felt squishy. Furnitures in this house aren't all match, seems like they were purchase from a Goodwill/Thrift Store at different time/location and thrown in there. Bed sheets, blankets and pillow covers are roughed, you’ll get skin exfoliation from using these items. The ceiling fan in the bedroom/pots and pans rack were caked with dust, and it was right above where you do all of your cookings, did not used the fan, kitchen sink faucet jiggled. The clothes washer was LOUD, dryer is terrible at drying clothes. The house windows/front door have huge gaps/cracked glass, cold house for winter visit. Grill w/missing heat tent, metal piece covers the burner, we rigged it up by using foils. FUNCTIONAL is theme of this VRBO. We WOULD NOT re-book here for our next visit to Montrose, CO. Positive: Close to downtown, only plus for this property. I took some pictures, just to prove my case, but no upload option.

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Loi, we're sorry to hear that your stay did not meet your expectations and that the home wasn't quite what you were looking for. This is a historic property, over 100 years old, and as such, it does come with some unique characteristics and charm that reflect its age. The windows throughout the home have been replaced, with the exception of those in the kitchen and dining area, which remain original to preserve the home's character. As for the washer and dryer, they have been functioning properly and we have not received any prior concerns regarding their performance.We’ve been fortunate to receive many 5-star reviews over time, and we strive to provide a comfortable and enjoyable experience for all our guests. Thank you again for your stay.

  4/5

  This was a cute old house with many quirks. The stairs were a bit uneven so watch your step! The floors creaked making it easy to hear when everyone gets up in the morning. Due to old pipes, the downstairs bathroom made a loud noise that resembled a ship leaving port whenever the toilet or sink was used. Each time we wanted to yell All Aboard! The beds were decent but the pillows were very flat and worn. Even with all the quirks, it was a nice place to stay for the weekend. It is close to downtown and in a cute quiet neighborhood. The welcome basket of mini muffins, bananas and candy was a nice touch and appreciated. I rated 4 stars instead of 5 because I think there is room for improvement. Also, we followed instructions for check out that included stripping the beds, taking out trash and general cleanup, but why is that even necessary when already charged a cleaning fee? In conclusion, it was a nice stay sharing the house with my grown up children and better than needing several hotel rooms.

  Came out for a wedding. Comfortably fit 6 people in the home-with room for more! Perfect location and had everything we needed. Would definitely come back!

  The location was perfect and the home was clean, comfortable and well stocked. The beds upstairs need a bit of care as you could hear there creaks downstairs from the second floor during the night and the mattresses could use an upgrade.
