Not a Great Experience at Tristant (Telluride)
The experience was great...until it wasn't. And when it wasn't, we were ignored by InvitedHome. Let me start by saying that I paid over $15,000 for a Telluride ski townhome for only 5 nights (Happy Place at Tristant). On day one, our hot tub was dirty and had no chemicals in the chemical dispenser. It was a wooden hot tub, but the water was very brown. I was told this was normal....NOPE it is not. It was dirty with other renters "stuff." I could overlook the first day when i called nicely. But we were ignored after 3 attempts. The water level was even so low when someone first tried to get in, he could not turn on the jets. Unacceptable. There were other things too. The garage was a mess with owners stuff and a nasty trash can. The heat was unbearable throughout the house and the controls would not work. We opened windows but that makes the air dry and uncomfortable. Virtually every window crank was broken, probably because other guests needed too open windows too. There was left over food items and spices left by others, which I did not mind, but I did mind that there was a few items that were expired. There was no Icemaker, yet the place was supposed to hold 18. There was some good, but it was overshadowed by the bad. I tried to work with InvitedHome, but the manager simply said "sorry you were not happy. We will give you 10% off your next visit." I should have gotten 10% off THIS visit and pay full price on the next. Mike R. (Atlanta, Ga)
Response from InvitedHomeApr 15, 2025
Hi Mike, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear that your stay at Happy Place at Tristant didn’t meet expectations, and we appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns. We never want a guest to feel unheard, and we truly regret that you experienced communication issues after reporting the condition of the hot tub. That’s not the level of responsiveness we aim to provide, and we’re currently reviewing what went wrong so we can ensure it doesn’t happen again. Regarding the ice maker, we do want to clarify that we never set the expectation that the home included one. That said, had we known that having an ice maker was important for your group, our local team would have gladly arranged for a solution before your arrival. We always strive to personalize the stay when we know what matters most to our guests. As for the other concerns you raised—such as the heat control, garage condition, and expired pantry items—our operations team is now addressing these, and we truly appreciate you bringing them to our attention. It’s feedback like yours that helps us improve. Again, we’re sorry that your experience didn’t reflect the value you expected, especially for such a special trip. Thank you again for your candid review. Warm regards, The InvitedHome Team
