gusb574Most unprofessional experience ever
20 days after confirming my Airbnb reservation at Fire Mountain Resort, they abruptly canceled my stay — just a week before I was scheduled to be there for a wedding on July 4th weekend.
I hate to leave bad reviews, but…
JonIt was a wonderful getaway from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The window air conditioner worked like it was from 1940, but other than that everything was very nice.

What we’d check for you here
- That the step-free room is actually free on your dates, and whether it is a roll-in shower or a bath, which the listing never says.
- The pet fee and any size limit, which is where these bookings usually come apart.
- Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.
- Whether breakfast is in the rate or added at checkout, and what time it runs.
- Whether the rate moves for your dates, and what it includes.
- What the property actually charges at the desk on top of the rate.
Questions about Fire Mountain
What time is check-in and check-out at Fire Mountain?
Check-in is from 4:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Fire Mountain allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Fire Mountain?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Is breakfast included at Fire Mountain?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does Fire Mountain have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Fire Mountain have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book Fire Mountain?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
