The Blue Church Lodge

This is for unit 1A. I wish I had read the other past negative reviews of this place. No internet. Since our unit 1A intenet did not work they suggested we use the neighbor's Wi-Fi internet. We did, which was below dial-up speed so unusable. We could not do business video calls due to the lack of internet. The owners know the internet doesn't work. They do not care. The fireplace did not work. The hot tub on-site was empty - no water. One of the bedroom windows did not shut completely, which is a problem in the winter of January. We were not allowed to use the ski locker, which was not a problem but odd. The TV did not get local network channels like CBS, NBC, ABC Its clear the owners know about these issues. The above issues could be solved for less than $200, but they do not care. We communicated consistently with the property manager throughout the trip, but they said, "sorry it doesn't work."

Parking in a parking garage was unavailable and no one seemed to know that the garage was closed, we called to find out what was going on and said they would call back but did not. After calling the front desk again they told us we could park at Treasure Mountain and carry our stuff a few blocks to the lodge on a 12 % grade. We were given so many excuses and the blame was put on everyone else. Ultimately clearly someone dropped the ball here and everyone is responsible. We stayed in unit F, which was not that clean, needs updated. The water pressure in the shower was terrible and the tub drained very slowly. We ended up leaving a day early because our experience was so poor. We travel a lot and this was the worst experience and for the money we paid It should have been more comfortable We would not stay here again and will not recommend this place.

No on-site staff. Leak above us resulted in water shut off for entire building. “Will be on tomorrow morning”. They did relocate us to another property close by but we had to pack up and move when we returned late at night.

Stayed in the summer, walked into the unit, and found it to be 92 degrees. The in-unit portable swamp coolers didn’t have water in them so they were just blowing hot air and all the windows had been closed. We later figured out they were closed because they had no screens. In one of the bedrooms the window was broken and couldn't be opened at all, this room was totally unusable due to the heat. We booked this property as we had two families and each room was allocated. We ended up having to use the couches in the living room as a bedroom. Despite the thermostat being turned all the way down the radiators were still on. Not ideal in 90+ degree days. WiFi never worked, Comcast remote was missing. We did have consistent communication with the property manager throughout the first half of the trip. We rebooted the router multiple times, but still no luck. They had whomever they use on-site to try to fix it, but still no luck. We were told that someone would bring a Comcast remote mid-day Monday. It didn't show up, and it didn't matter as we had no TV function anyway. The location was great, though. That is the ONLY redeeming factor of this property.

The location was amazing but Unit F has some problems. the toilet doesn't fully flush and requires two flushes each time, the bathtub drains slowly and I was in standing water during my shower, and the wi-fi never really worked (it would for about five minutes and then I would get kicked off). They sent maintenance guys over immediately to look at the wi-fi but the router was locked in a closet they didn't have access to so I had to leave the property to work from a restaurant with wi-fi. The issue was never resolved before I left. Overall, the location was phenomenal. It is so nice being able to walk anywhere on Main Street. I'd probably stay here again but would likely look for Airbnbs or other hotel availability close by first.

Very clean and cute place. Kitchen is very well equipped, just the range is old and slow. Strange setup with 1 of the rooms separated by bathroom by stairs. Not very good view. But comfortable and cozy. Great for a couple or couple kids.

Toilet wouldn’t flush. Beds are old and uncomfortable. Location is great though.

Location was great because it was only one block to Main street. Property is rather run down and in disrepair. Our unit was lacking a lot of general maintenance to make it usable. Toilet didn't flush, shower didn't work well, shower curtain fell off in the middle of every shower because it had a cloth shower curtain that got soaked and heavy, most of the light bulbs were either burned out or missing, window screens were laying around inside the unit on the floor, most of the baseboard radiator covers had been knocked off and were just laying around on the floor. The place could be nice but not in the current condition because maintenance is needed badly.

The location is great. And, for the low cost of this unit, it was a good value. It is very dated, (welcome to the 70’s), but otherwise well kept and clean.
