ذا ماونتن توب إن آند ريزورت

It is disheartening to have to write this review. My fiancé and I visited the MTR in anticipation of potentially getting married there. We reside out of state and took time off work to stay overnight, which was generously offered as a complimentary accommodation in our wedding brochure. Our room was exceptional and we thought would set the tone for the remainder of our stay. The grounds were breathtaking, and we were eagerly anticipating our tour with Khele the following day. That evening, we dined at the resort tavern. I informed our waitress of my severe mushroom allergy, and she diligently noted it down. However, our main course, the steak, was brought to us by a young man running the food service, not our waitress. I cut a piece of steak and dipped it into the steak sauce provided on the plate. Our waitress, who was engaged in conversation with another table, whom she seemed to be very friendly with, approached us and informed me that she had instructed the runner to disclose that the steak sauce contained mushroom powder. Given the severity of my allergy, why would the restaurant even serve an item containing it? I explained my situation to her, and she informed me that she had Benadryl available in the back. I then elaborated on the severity of my allergy. Despite the inconvenience caused, the restaurant comped us dessert, and my fiancé and I were willing to overlook the issue due to our fondness for the grounds. However, allergies must be taken with utmost seriousness. Our tour commenced at 9:00 AM, and it concluded at 9:40 AM. Khele greeted us at the front desk, and we proceeded to start on our tour. Khele led us to what appeared to be his personal vehicle, an Audi. This was no problem. However, upon entering his SUV, Khele informed us that due to muddy conditions near the ceremony site and his desire to not dirty his car, he would not be showing us the ceremony site. This revelation took us and my fiancé by complete surprise, as seeing the potential ceremony site is an integral aspect of the wedding ceremony. Upon initially being throw off, thinking maybe he was just joking, we proceeded with the tour. Our tour itinerary included a visit to the exquisite private residences on the property. Coincidentally, another party was also touring the property at the same time and was shown the ceremony site. While we comprehend his concern for the cleanliness of his personal vehicle, there were ample resort vehicles available for our use. This became evident when the other party arrived in a resort vehicle at a house that Khele was showing us. We concluded our tour and returned to his office. Notably, Khele refrained from allowing us to fully observe the ceremony site. Khele inquired about our origins (for privacy reasons, we refrained from disclosing the exact location) and responded that he would not hold it against us. Assuming it was another joke, we proceeded. Upon entering his office, Khele abruptly slid the booklet across the table,

Where do we begin? We stayed in the Cloud Nine house: a one bedroom with king bed, kitchenette, full bath with walk-in shower, and a living room with a fireplace. The views out the windows of the lawn, lodge, reservoir, and mountains cannot be described by words (check out the pictures but you have to experience it in person to truly appreciate it . Went for a pontoon ride one day and horseback riding another. Had breakfast, lunch, and dinner on the patio: again jaw dropping views. My wife and I like to try new places but we might break that rule to go back.

Long View Barn: Pros: gorgeous views, nice cabin/house, very clean, fully stocked kitchen. If they fix the below issues, I would say it may be worth the cost. But as is, I feel like it was overpriced. Cons: For the price of the unit, we assumed we would get a newer, comfortable mattress to match the level of the unit. Unfortunately the mattress in the primary bedroom was old and needs to be replaced- you felt like you were sinking into the middle - we both woke up with back pain. In addition, the wine glasses were a cloudy mess with etching from dishwasher - they looked dirty. We drank wine from our Yetis that we brought from home. Come on, for the $850 per night you are charging for this unit (all in with taxes and fees) you should get a comfortable and not ancient mattress and clean wine glasses. Finally, they offer free shampoo, conditioner, and lotion, which is great, but it is virtually impossible to get the lotion and the conditioner out of the bottle. I had to get out of the shower get someone with stronger hands to help (and so did another member of our party). Finally the front desk was just okay - I felt like i was annoying them each time I had a question. The place has great potential. I hope they can make some small changes so they can make it worth the price!
