Things take longer to get delivered up here or its difficult to find the right service to do work because it\u2019s a long drive up the mountain from the valley. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"734\" height=\"413\" data-src=\"https:\/\/blog-wp.glampinghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/record-player-and-foosball.jpg\" alt=\"The rental comes with a dart board and a foosball table.\" class=\"wp-image-2181 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/glampinghub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/record-player-and-foosball.jpg 734w, https:\/\/glampinghub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/record-player-and-foosball-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/glampinghub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/record-player-and-foosball-337x190.jpg 337w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 734px) 100vw, 734px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 734px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 734\/413;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo courtesy of @dirtandglass<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I would say my biggest challenge was when I decided last year to add a hot tub to the property. There are many logistics that come into play in order to provide a good, safe hot tub experience to each and every guest. One can\u2019t fill up the hot tub with water from the chalet as we run on well water, and filling up several hundred gallons at once would place a burden on our filtration and well pump systems. So we have to have fresh water trucked in. Luckily, one year and three contractors later, we have really found someone to take care of the hot tub from A to Z that we are truly happy with and has been providing guests with an amazing experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6. Tell us about your most memorable guest experience to date.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our last Glamping Hub guests were a couple of honeymooners that stayed for over a week and they loved it! I thought that was both memorable and quite the compliment. Another stay that pops into mind is a family who gushed about how the chalet brought them closer when they went on their first ever skiing trip at Windham Mountain last March. I like that the cozy atmosphere of the chalet is bringing people together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"734\" height=\"413\" data-src=\"https:\/\/blog-wp.glampinghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/full-kitchen.jpg\" alt=\"The fully-equipped kitchen has a dining table with space for six people.\" class=\"wp-image-2183 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/glampinghub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/full-kitchen.jpg 734w, https:\/\/glampinghub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/full-kitchen-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/glampinghub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/full-kitchen-337x190.jpg 337w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 734px) 100vw, 734px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 734px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 734\/413;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo courtesy of @dirtandglass<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>7.
