I could maybe see his point if you'd stayed overnight, then complained, but come on. And to top it off with childish personal remarks? In writing, no less?

If he'd refunded your money, the worst you could really do would be to let people know, "These cabins are pretty rustic for what they're charging." Now anyone persuing the boards will know the owners are ********, and the cabins suck.
Exactly....we had planned on taking part in a ride they put together and/or spending part of the day there on our next trip. But.....

We were looking into this place, I assume that this is more like what you thought the 29 dreams was like?

When you get the credit card bill, it will be spelled "29 Screams".

This is not a misprint.

Wow! Have only had lunch there following our visit to the Barber, and the hamburgers were good. This was last fall and didn't tour the cabins but having been there, was aware that they were motorcycle cabins like you'll find quite a few of in the Deal's Gap area but they're way cheaper than that! Hell, $85 a night will get you a really nice cabin room at the Iron Horse Lodge and the they're lovely. Definitely deny the charges on your CC. Sorry to hear that about the anniversary trip. You and the Mrs. seem to have been sort of snake bit on some of your trips this year.

Yeah...just let this thread grow to 'bout a dozen pages, and then just send 'em the link to it.
