Shenandoah Chalet

Stay somewhere else. We were very disappointed in this place. While first impression in ok, once in you see things that show this place is not as the owner describes. The towels are not fresh. The blankets on the couch are not fresh. In fact one smelled sour. The kitchen, while had new stove, toaster oven, dishwasher the pots and pans were a joke. We had to go out and purchase our own aluminum pan to cook. The inside of the cookware was so badly scratced, as was the teflon frying pan, I wouldnt dare cook in it. Several salt & pepper mills all empty. There was no wifi as stated. The few times we got on took forever. Even the TV had practically no channels. The dvds that were there were mostly action. To make matters worse, there were stink bugs there. You dont know about this until you are already there. Evidently there is an infestation. There is a whole write up about them on the fridge. While there werent tons of them we did find them on our toothbrush and in our bed. We were constantly looking up to see if there were any on the ceiling. And there were — and with the dark beams who knows how many were there. If you kill them, supposedly they stink. Since we dont squash bugs as a rule, we just captured them with a paper towel and threw them outside, so we never did smell them. But at one point, one of them did fly down from the ceiling, but as a rule they didnt fly. Skeevy place. Plus you have to take your garbage with you or else you PAY! Good luck driving around looking for empty garbage pails in the practically non-​existent shopping areas. This place was a joke. The bathtub had a huge mat in it because there was glue residuce from previous non-​slip decals. I didnt want to think if it had ever been lifted to clean underneath. The info says it is professionally cleaned — I doubt it. Switch plates in kitchen were filthy. Complimentary (leftover) toiletries were filthy and empty. There is no closet for hanging clothes. Whoever is maintaing this place is doing a terrible job. Sure the windows are clean and the fireplace is clean, but thats about it. The master bedroom did have clean sheets, but the downstairs bedroom pillows smelled. Huge disappointment. We were there over and including Christmas eve, Christmas day and not even a pine cone to say welcome to your Christmas holiday. THAT IS A FIRST FOR US! That tells me a lot.
