Summary: We were given the wrong directions on our check in package. Someone was at the house we were given directions to and she had the directions to the house we actually rented. When we did get to the correct house, we didn't have the correct code to enter the house, ended up having to call the number to get the correct code. We have rented from Greybeard before but this was a bad experience for us. We are 80 & 83 years old and were not expecting the location to be so high up in the mountain. We are from the area, but had not visited Gateway Mountain before this trip and were disappointed in the location of the house we rented. Quite frankly I don't know how emergency fire trucks or medical vehicles could reach someone in trouble or if there was a fire in that house....
