Comments: This is spring break for us. Do you have a weekly rate that
you give for those staying this long? Since you are not actually
located at the resort, how long would it take to walk to the resort? Free
shuttle would probably be better I guess. Thanks.


Uh.... I guess. This is a typical example of the kind requests I get to rent our house in the mountains. Why do people think they can outsmart me on the rental price, pointing out things I already know? "We're staying for a week, so we should get a better rate." Wait, is 7 nights still one full week? I thought they raised it to eight. "You're not actually at the resort so I am expecting it to be cheaper." "Oh Christ. How are we going to get to the mountain from your shitty condo?" Well, maybe if you weren't so cheap, you could rent your family a good vacation house with ski-in ski-out access. But instead you're nickel and diming me on a discount website.
By the way, there is a free shuttle and yes I do discount for staying for a week because it is easier for me. Everyone knows that stuff. Plus, the ad says the shuttle that is free stops outside our door. It also goes to town, numbnuts. For every little attempt to trick me into giving a lower rate I am going to add a few hundred to the price. I am also a softie though and if I like the rental request's general style I quote a lower price. At my job I get told that if I want to get anywhere I need to be a dick. Feminism has really comes a long way. You used to have to have a dick to get a good job. Now, you just need to be one. But in my world, being a dick to me is not going to help you I guess. Thanks.
