Sun Valley Cottages

Thank you for your kind comments regarding our facility. I would like to explain why your cottage was amply heated by two portable oil bath space heaters. All of our cottages are heated with wall mounted propane heaters. The day you were to check in, when I reviewed the cleaning of the unit, I noticed an indication that the wall heater in your cottage appeared to be not quite functioning properly. Out of concern of your safety, I made the decision to take the heater out of service and to take precautions to shut off the gas supply so there was no way you could have turned it on even if you were familiar with the operation of gas wall heaters. Safety is number #1. Since this would not affect your comfort- heat is heat- with the overnight temperature only in the low 30's we knew the portable heaters would be more than adequate, which they were. You were in on of our five three season cottages- they are shut down for the winter months. A few years ago all five of them were extensively renovated- the bathrooms were made much, much larger among other things. We have two portable oil bath space heaters in each of these cottages to provide additional heat, if needed, on rare very unseasonable nights (20 degrees) while the cottages are still in operation. Because these cottages are fairly small, we could not replace the existing wall heaters with larger ones because of code restrictions, and could not put an additional wall heater in the bathrooms for the same reason. Ditto the portable heaters. People can use, or not use them as they see fit. Once again, thank you for the kind comments. If I had to do this again I would have told you the situation in advance but at the time, with a very warm cottage, did not feel it would be an issue. I hope that you will give us another chance on a future date. Regards, Dave Doyle

Kate- Sun Valley Cottages, our business name for 70 years, is comprised of cottages in one location and condos in three other locations all along Route Three in Weirs Beach. We are very limited in what we are allowed to describe on the booking service site where you booked the room. That is one of the reasons we include where you are staying in the confirmation letter we send to you. Any of the staff at each facility could have given you the physical address for your cab ride if you had asked them. We also put out taxi business cards at each location for getting to and from the concert venue at Meadowbrook. I hope your stay was otherwise pleasant and we look forward to seeing you again!
