WOW!! Be careful with "the owner" and her rude behavior!
To start from the beginning, we had SO much trouble getting in touch with "the owners" to make our payment on the cabin in a timely manner. After several phone calls & being asked to "call back tomorrow" or "can't talk now...please text to remind me to call you", an never receiving a phone call, we were frustrated with "the owners" and the RUN AROUND they were giving us, after several attempts to contact them. They finally took a partial payment using the wrong credit card, after having been given the correct card information. The deadline was quickly approaching and I sent an email stating exactly what had been going on for over a week, and would like for her to call me so we could get this matter cleared up right away. I apologized to her for my frustration in the email, but really wanted to get the full payment behind us, so we didn't lose our reservation.
"The owner" called right away and proceeded to terribly treat my friend who answered the phone. She was so rude and we were unable to get a word into the conversation. She yelled that we should never have sent such an awful email. NEVER did she apologize for any inconvenience she may have caused. She proceeded to yell that "we didn't even have to stay in her cabin!" (Little did we know, we probably should have cancelled.)
It's been 2 weeks since our visit to GALLO DEL CIELO and I received a phone call yesterday from "the owner" regarding our review that we posted about our experience. Apparently, it is against the law to use "the owner's" name in a review. She threatened to SUE us for defamation, if we didn't remove her name from the review. She also threatened to call ALL of the other companies that rent cabins and put us on a blacklist, so that I can never rent a cabin in Broken Bow again! She wouldn't stop talking and threatening, for even a minute, so I could get a word in. She said "she was tired of her customer's treating her and her family this way". (So, obviously, we are not the first renter's that have been spoken to like the way this "owner" spoke to me!) We have been coming to Broken Bow for years and love the area for our family, and have NEVER run across such behavior in an owner before. She was literally a bully on the phone with me yesterday, as well as with my friend before the trip, while we were simply trying to submit payment for the cabin. In my opinion, her actions, rudeness & phone call's have absolutely been the most uncalled for and unprofessional experiences that I have ever encountered from a rental company. This entire mess could have been prevented if "the owner" would have simply said she was sorry from the VERY beginning, when it was so hard to contact them. Unfortunately, her actions have caused her to lose another customer.
I will continue to visit Broken Bow and enjoy everything that it has to offer. However, I will be calling the previous cabin rental company that we have used so many times before. They have always been kind and cordial, and have never treated us the way Hidden Hills Cabin owners have treated us. read more
