Our anniversary is in August, the hottest time of year. As I am not a fan of the summer heat, we always go away in the Fall to celebrate. Last year, in early October, we rented a suite at a mountain resort. I was really looking forward to this because we would be arriving during the time the leaves would be changing and I knew it would be beautiful. We drove about two hours to get to the resort and upon arrival I was thrilled. The grounds were beautiful and the entire property was covered in maple trees that were bursting with color. We checked in and headed to our suite. The room was nice and we had a gas fireplace that I thought was for decoration more than anything else. It turned out this was not the case. It was the only source of heat in the room and the warmth did not reach the bathroom or bedroom. If we were in the living area it was so hot that we felt like opening the windows, but, if you had to use the bathroom it was like using an outhouse. This made for a frustrating vacation for sure. When I asked the property manager about the heating situation they simply said that the resort was normally closed during really cold weather so they never installed a proper HVAC system. They did have wall mounted air conditioners for the summer months but felt that the fireplaces could take the chill off of the rooms for the short time they we open in the Fall.
