Brothers in Arms - Guitarist Pete Loeffler of Chevelle

Listening to radio these days one thing immediately becomes crystal clear: Hard music is in its prime. Again. Modern rock radio stations are drenched in the sounds of distorted guitars. And, while we're kinda biased here at, we think that's a damn fine thing. Don't you?

Anyway, one of the heavy bands that scored big a couple years ago with three hits off their major label debut, Wonder What's Next, is back with a new, even heavier disk. You know the group Chevelle for their smash, "Send the Pain Below," and their main stage dates on the 2002 OzzFest tour.

Chicago-based Chevelle recently wrapped their follow-up disk, This Kind of Thinking Could Do Us In, which will hit store shelves next week (September 21, 2004). You're probably already hearing the first single from the album, "Vitamin R (Leading Us Along)" on your favorite radio station. You'll be able to see brothers Sam (drums), Joe (bass), and Pete Loeffler (guitar and vocals) in concert around the States and beyond for the next 18 months afterwards, so get ready for a dose of heavy, heavy rock and hot guitar. took the offer to speak with Pete Loeffler just a couple weeks ago. Pete talked candidly about the record biz and famous producers, told us about his first and his favorite guitars and amps, and detailed his musical upbringing and his decision to drop shredding for songwriting. Read on: Hello Pete, how are you?

Pete Loeffler: Pretty good. The new album sounds cool. Have you played any dates with this one yet?

Loeffler: Just Summerfest in Milwaukee in early July. The record isn't out until September 21, so we'll be going out after that. Do you know your plans after that?

Loeffler: We have a little promo tour in select cities, probably only a week or two long. That starts Sept. 18th. And then we start a headlining tour in October. So then you'll be getting around the States as much as you can.

Loeffler: Yeah, you've got to strike (at the right time.) When the record comes out, the single will have been at radio for a month and a half, so it'll be in full swing. It will be doing whatever it will be doing. What kind of gear are you using right now?

Loeffler: I use Mesa Boogie, religiously. What model amps?

Loeffler: I have three Mark IV's. One of them is covered in red lizard skin. That's the one that I keep at my house as a practice amp. It's got a 4x12 covered in the same thing. It's pretty cool. But my touring rig is two Mark IV's in a road case, with my foot pedal that fits nicely in there. What kind of pedals are you using?

Loeffler: I use a flanger, a Boss. And I use a SansAmp for specific songs. And I have a couple more pedals that I'm going to be adding, like an octave pedal and a wah. Which songs do you use the SansAmp on?

Loeffler: I use it "Forfeit" and "Wonder What's Next," from the first record. I use it for overdrive and feedback, when I really need to get a lot of feedback going. Oh yeah, I also use a Boss delay. So you're using the SansAmp on top of the Mark IV's, you're not switching the Mark IV's off to use the SansAmp by itself for some kind of lower gain sound? You're using it for extra gain.

Loeffler: Yeah. And what kind of guitars?

Loeffler: I have a bunch of PRS guitars that I use live, mostly 24-fret models. They're making me a baritone right now, which is gonna be kick ass! I used a baritone - one of three that they've made - on just about every song on the new record. It's the only guitar I used on every song. Is it your guitar?

Loeffler: No, it's actually Jeff Lanahan's. He's the Artist Relations guy at PRS. He loaned it to me for the record. He wants it back, but I'm not going to give it back until he gives me my new one! (laughs). So how are you going to re-create that sound live?

Loeffler: Live, pretty much anything goes. People want to hear the songs (like they are on the album), and we want to re-create them as closely as possible, but I don't think people will be able to tell the difference if I'm using a .065 gauge low E string (like on my regular guitars), or a .072 (like on the baritone guitar). I'm going to use my regular guitars live, tuned down to A#, which is really only a half-step lower than the whole last record. What's your top string?

Loeffler: That's a .013. And it's not all just chug, chug. There's a few little intricate things, so I need a little give there. The more it stays in tune, the better, 'cause the less I have to hand of guitars. I can just keep banging them out. What kind of strings do you use?

Loeffler: I use DR. And what kind of picks?

Loeffler: I use .073, yellow tortex. Dunlop?

Loeffler: Yeah. So the octave pedal you're going to add to your rig, that's probably to help you get a little more low-end like you got on the record with the baritone guitar, right?

Loeffler: Well, it's pretty much just for effect. There's a few times on the record where we have some crazy sounds. I used a guitar synthesizer and an octaver. You're going to use a guitar synth live too?

Loeffler: I'm going to be. What kind of synth? Loeffler: I'm trying to remember the exact brand, but it had a stainless steel cover, and it was called "guitar synth." I'm trying to remember if it was a Morleyor what. I didn't actually own it, it was my producer's. So who produced the new record?

Loeffler: Michael Elvis Baskette co-produced it with us. People say that's an easy way for a band to get their name out there with producer credits, but it is really true. These songs were pretty much done before he ever came into the picture. I don't know how anybody else does it, but that's how we do it. Did you record here in Chicago?

Loeffler: I did vocals here in Chicago, in our own studio - "The Ranch," we call it. And we did bass, drums, and guitar in L.A., at Sunset Sound. And what kind of gear do you have in your own studio?

Loeffler: We built it a couple months ago, knowing that we need a rehearsal space, and we could possibly use it as a recording space as well. We have a full Pro Tools rig in there, and Sam built that with a couple other guys, so he knows all that technical stuff. I just kinda get in there and tell him to hit record. How does the writing go with Chevelle? Do you guys come up with stuff together, or do you bring in more finished ideas?

Loeffler: The songs usually start on an acoustic guitar, then I take them into the band and show them what I have. A lot of this record was done with Sam and I, as far as getting the vibe and structure. In fact, I wrote all the bass lines as well. Then Joe comes in at the finished song and does his own little tweaks with the bass lines. But with our style it's hard to get too far away from the guitar line, or you'll start getting into another area where you'll lose a lot of the power. If he was always up on the higher strings, we'd lose all the low end and power. What kind of acoustic guitar do you write on?

Loeffler: I have a Martin HD-28. It's a newer one. I like it a lot because I tune down, and it has a large soundhole on it, so it doesn't sound as "woofy." Did you use that at all on the new record?

Loeffler: I believe I did. I used it on "Bend the Bracket," which was actually a demo that we did at our studio. We did it on a little Mackie 24-track hard disk recorder, before we set up the Pro Tools rig. How long have you been playing guitar?

Loeffler: Since I was 13, and I'm 27 now. What got you started?

Loeffler: We had to play piano in our family for a few years Had to?

Loeffler: Yeah. Everyone had to. And Sam got a drum kit one day, and I was like, 'Man, I think I'm somewhat musically inclined, I think I'm going to pick up the guitar.' Actually I did take violin for awhile as well, but I did pick up the guitar and ran with that, because it was just a bit cooler at the time, I was 13. And I saw this kid play "Eruption," from Van Halen, at one of my friend's houses, and I said, 'That's insane! I want to learn how to do that.' So that's basically what I started out learning: Van Halen, The Cult, Alice in Chains. I got way into this shredding thing, but then that died off when I realized it wasn't doing enough for me, and I went into writing. And it's been all downhill (laughs) What were some of your first guitars?

Loeffler: First I had a Sears guitar Really?

Loeffler: Yeah. And then I had a Kramer, a red Kramer that I put this chain link around. I thought that was really cool. And I had a Gibson Les Paul; a bunch of Ibanez guitars. But now I've ended up with PRS. To me they sound as good as a Les Paul, but without the weight. Do you still have some of the first guitars?

Loeffler: Oh yeah. I have a few of them. I wish I still had that Les Paul. What model was it?

Loeffler: Well, it was a Standard, but it was 10 years old (when I got it). It was mint condition. I bought it from this kid who had it under his bed for many years. I got it for like $600, but then I traded it for an Ibanez. So I kind of screwed up there. But that's OK, I've had a few guitars given to me over the years, so that made up for it. So do you practice a lot, or do you mostly work on writing songs?

Loeffler: I don't practice when we're on the road. I keep a notebook in my bunk and I jot down various things - phrases or things that I've heard. I don't write down a lot of music, because I focus on the touring aspect, and trying to stay healthy. When I got home this year - actually it was December of last year. And January came up and we started writing. We had nothing at that point, and here we are in August and the record is done and about to come out. If you can get away enough, and clear your head, I think you can start all over and remember what you started out doing. It's so easy to forget. It's so easy to think you're going to be touring forever. We toured for 18 months with this last record, basically because we started six months before the record came out. That was what we had to do to set up the record. This time around we don't have to do that. Do you feel that the record company is giving you a little more push and promotion each time around?

Loeffler: Yeah, definitely. I think that they weren't sure what to expect, the first album with Epic. [Editor's note: Prior to signing with Epic Records, Chevelle released the album, Point #1 - produced by Steve Albini - through indie label Squint Entertainment, a Nashville-based company founded by producer Steve Taylor.] They know how to market hard rock bands, and we know how to go out there and bang them out. So they're behind it. The record industry has been accused, over the past decade or so, of really failing to allow bands to grow with each record, and to develop a fan base over a period of time. You had one chance, and if your first album wasn't a hit - while they may not drop you - they sure didn't do much to promote you after that. Do you think record companies have gotten beyond that philosophy at this time?

Loeffler: I don't feel that they're beyond that yet. When we got signed in '98, I don't think it was that bad, but now I think it's worse. If you don't come out of the box strong, I think you're shelved. And that's unfortunate because now, with downloading and all that, it's next to impossible to come out strong. If the record gets leaked (to the Internet), you're killing half your audience right there.

And honestly, I don't care that much as far as - I don't need to feel that I accomplished something by selling a ton of records - but the only thing is, if you don't do that, then you don't get the push from the label. You don't get the support going out on tour, you don't get the guarantee [Editor's note: Most younger bands would not be able to tour - or at least not be able to take part in major tours in larger venues, building bigger fan bases - without financial "tour support" from their record label.] So it hurts the artist in the long run. It hurts the artist everywhere. That's no joke.

Everybody thinks that they're going to sign with the label to get rich, and that's the furthest thing from the truth. All you do is get in debt with signing with a label. It's only if you sell a lot of records and you have songs all over the radio, that you actually can make a living at it. Or you could do the exact opposite, which is to do it all on your own. In fact, if I were to start a band today, that would probably be - it's definitely a better shot, as far as keeping control and actually seeing any return whatsoever. The Do-It-Yourself method?

Loeffler: Yeah. I think so. Yeah. It's a different world now, with downloading. When you first got signed, it was with the label Squint Entertainment, and you did your first record with famed record producer Steve Albini (Nirvana). How did you first get that deal?

Loeffler: Basically, we called him up - the label called him up - and asked, 'Are you interested in this music.' A lot of people don't realize he does a lot of first records for bands, and he doesn't do a lot of repeat business, unfortunately. That seems to be his choice.

Loeffler: Yeah, he likes to move on. We actually did the record with him twice, but it only took 17 days to do it twice. He works very fast, and he has his own ideas about recording and mixing. And if you like it, you're set up, because he'll record anybody any time he has the time, and then you get this legendary engineer - he doesn't call himself a producer. But it was an experience, I'll say that. He was a great guy. I wasn't a fan of how our record sounded like the first time around. Why did you record the album twice?

Loeffler: Because we didn't like what we heard the first time around. So he said come back in, we'll try to get it right. But then it still was, pretty much (just) room mics. And that's your sound. It's great: He does it a certain way, and people respect him for that, and he's doing what he believes is right, and that's great. How did you hook up with Squint Entertainment?

Loeffler: That was a chance thing. We played pretty much every show we could get, and they saw us and signed us. And shortly after that we did our best to get out of it. We had totally different ideas and views, and a different outlook on a lot of things. But it worked out because we got our foot in the door. So, 'Play every gig you can get,' is what I tell people. How often were you playing live, as an unsigned band, before Squint?

Loeffler: When we first got signed I was 21, and we'd been playing out since I was 16. For five years we'd been playing Chicago clubs. But on a monthly basis, toward the signing - before you got signed - were you playing twice a month or 20 times a month?

Loeffler: Well, there was a time when we played as much as we possibly could. It ranged - if we could get the gigs - we might be playing crappy bars anywhere. We played all over the Chicagoland area, and beyond: Indiana, Wisconsin, anywhere. So at any given time we played 10 shows a month. That doesn't sound like a lot, but if you're not on tour, that gets expensive, just gas alone. But you grew through that, and that's the point. By playing so many shows every month, you became professional that much faster. If all you ever did was play at Chicago's famous Double Door - you could only play there once a month. You had to go out and find other places to hone your stage act. At once or twice per month, you're just not getting that much stage experience, and bettering your chances of success in the music industry.

Loeffler: Yeah. There's no substitute for experience. If you get out there and bang it out, it's all going to pay off in the end. You're definitely going to be a better performer. That's a good point, which is what I would always say to people - and what my manager said to me - "Pay your dues." And the first tour we went out on was with Sevendust, and we knew that we were either going to love it and want to keep pursuing it, or we would hate it. And we were the fourth band on the bill. We were on right at doors. As soon as they opened those doors, we'd start playing. It was all about paying your dues because we would play a 20-minute set for only the first 100 people who made it through the door early. And then when the headliner, Sevendust, would come on, there would be a packed club of 700 or 800 people, and you'd be thinking, 'What the hell happened? We're out on tour, why didn't we get to play for all these people?' But you're out on tour, and that's paying your dues. It's being able to play through difficult situations. We toured with Anthrax once, and their crowd did not like us, whatsoever. And actually I wasn't too offended by that, because that's from.... ...Fifteen or 20 years ago

Loeffler: Right. And I would hope we wouldn't necessarily into that as well. Certainly we want to appeal to whoever, but you get that strict hard core following who only wanted Anthrax, and they'd throw ice, they'd throw batteries, change - they'd throw whatever they could to get you off the stage. But definitely pay your dues. Because that's ultimately what it turns into: It's like a blue collar job. You're out there grinding it out. But you did it, and it paid off. The first disc through Epic got some radio, and you've moved up the food chain now.

Loeffler: A little bit. Well Pete, thanks for your time, and good luck with this new record and tour.

Loeffler: No problem. Thanks, Adam.

How to Jump a Battery

Your car is old. Usually that’s a good thing – it’s what makes it a classic. When it’s not so good is when you realize that old cars break down a lot more often than their younger counterparts – six times more often to be exact. In fact, almost 40 percent of those who participated in the 2004 Hagerty Protection Network Hobby Survey have spent some quality time with their car on the side of a road somewhere. Eleven percent of their breakdowns were caused by a dead battery. Here’s what you can do if something similar happens to you.

If your parked car doesn’t want to start, you might have left the lights or radio on and subsequently drained your battery’s power. In this case, it’s wise to grab a pair of jumper cables and a good Samaritan who’s willing to let you leach off his/her battery power. First, verify voltage. If your car has a 6-volt system and the booster vehicle has a 12-volt system, abort the mission. That much voltage can fry your car’s lights, gauges and other electrical components. Next, inspect the battery. If your battery is leaking fluid or is cracked, you’re better off just replacing it. Clean the battery terminals of corrosion as well as possible, making sure to shield your eyes and skin from any battery acid, even if it’s dried. Third, park the booster vehicle as close to yours as possible, without allowing them to touch. Then place the cars in park or neutral (depending on if they’re automatic or manual), turn off the ignition, lights and radio, and unplug anything connected to the cigarette lighter or any other power outlet. Now you’re ready to connect the cables.

Keep in mind that, while jump starting a car is a relatively benign process, there is potential for an explosion caused by the ignition of hydrogen gas that forms as the battery discharges and loses fluid. This is more likely in a car that has been sitting for a long time in an environment with very little air circulation. Still, it’s best to put safety first. By making sure that you connect the cables in the correct order, you’ll reduce the chance of sparks that could ignite any built-up gas.

First connect the positive (red or orange) jumper cable clamp to the positive terminal of the dead battery. Then connect the positive jumper cable clamp to the positive terminal of the booster battery. Next connect the negative (black) clamp of the jumper cable to the negative terminal of the booster battery. Finally, connect the remaining negative jumper cable clamp to any unpainted metal far away from the dead battery, such as the alternator mounting bracket. Do not connect the cable to the negative terminal on your battery – this could lead to an explosion.

Once the cables are properly and securely connected, make sure they’re safely away from any moving parts such as fans or belts, and start the booster vehicle. Let the battery charge for at least one minute before attempting to start the dead car. Once the dead car is started, let both idle for several minutes before disconnecting the cables in reverse order of which they were connected, making sure that none of the clamps touches another until all four are disconnected.

When it’s up and running, it’s wise to drive the freshly charged car to a safe location before turning it off again (in case it will require another jump). It wouldn’t hurt to remove the battery and place it on a charger overnight – just to make sure it’s fully charged.

Annual Meeting 2007

Meeting Theme: "Unstable Subjects: Practicing History in Unsettled Times"

Carolyn Brown and Barbara Welke, September 2005

From the totalizing and familiar frame of the nation-state that will be examined extensively in the 2006 AHA Annual Meeting, for the 2007 meeting we turn to history outside the nation-state. In historical terms, after all, the nation-state is a recent phenomenon; its future is unclear. The ancient, medieval, and early modern world span most of recorded human time. Their history is fundamental to capturing the diversity, contingency, and instability of human existence and community. Moreover, even in the 20th century, millions of people have lived and today continue to live constrained by the logic of the nation-state and yet do not share fully in the rights it promises. Political, economic, religious, and environmental changes of recent decades have destabilized ideas about human rights, conditions of citizenship, and national boundaries. More than ever, the current historical context, whether considering the historicization of identities long ignored, Truth and Reconciliation Commissions, international disputes over history, national battles over history standards, or challenges to disciplinary boundaries, yields a sense of the instability of historical inquiry itself. This is the rich terrain—the dynamism permeating all historical periods, from the ancient to the modern—embraced in this year’s theme, "Unstable Subjects: Practicing History in Unsettled Times."

The Program Committee welcomes panels that explore the shifting boundaries of identity, community, and humanity. For example, we invite panels addressing the history and fluidity of racial, ethnic, religious, sexual, and gender identities, and of community and empire that bridge the traditional chronological divides of the historical discipline; panels exploring border disputes—cultural or territorial—and the creation of border-spanning identities and cosmopolitanism; panels considering the fragility of citizenship and its relationship to human rights, statelessness, displaced persons, refugees, asylum seekers, diasporic populations, and immigrants; panels that explore the history of capitalism from its earliest origins to the private, multinational corporation, as well as panels historicizing globalization as a process and interrogating the history of human, technological, and agricultural movement; and panels addressing the history of human rights, NGOs, and movements by native peoples for recognition. The theme "Unstable Subjects" also presents the opportunity to think about the stability of the physical context in which history takes place, which is itself historically constructed: a capacious environmental history that considers the changing physical environment and its relationship to the rise and fall of civilizations, environmental devastation, and global warming. We are interested in critical historical consideration of the instability of history itself as reflected in national standards debates, international disputes over history textbooks, and the search for truth as a path to reconciliation. We welcome "state of the field" panels that move across traditional chronological and geographic boundaries.

The topics listed here are offered as ideas at the beginning of a conversation. For all of these questions, and the many others you, the larger community of historians, will bring to this inquiry, we see special promise in and wish to encourage panels that cross chronological, geographic, and subject area boundaries.

Featuring the next gen M4 CQB Airsoft Rifle! This AEG is yet another great addition to Elite Force's impressive lineup and a perfect highly affordable option for any player who wants to dominate on the CQB field! This next gen features upgraded internals for better performance and reliability. The tappet plate which attaches to the air nozzle and sector gear controls how the BBs are fed. This piece has been upgraded and redesigned for more durability and to increase the feeding reliability. Externally, the upper and lower receivers are constructed out of a high quality nylon fiber polymer, which helps the overall weight of the gun to stay low, while allowing the gun to still remain surprisingly durable.

Towards the rear, the new design push button crane stock is much easier to access the battery compartment compared to traditional stocks. This stock is also adjustable, allowing the user to change the overall length of the gun to fit their play style. Finally, the monolithic top rail is perfect for mounting the included Elite Force flip-up sights, or any of your favorite optics. There's no time to waste!

The property was simply amazing, the owners communication was great! Vesa always replied to emails quickly, answering any questions we may have had. Jason the manager of the property was always there if we needed anything, I can't say enough about how professional yet very welcoming he was. The property was immaculate, everything worked as it should, the house is more beautiful in person than in pictures. I'd recommend this property and plan to return again next year when family visits again.

Graduation rental for large family

  • 4 of 5

We rented this place for extended family to gather for our daughter's college graduation. It is huge and was a wonderful way for us to be together for meals and to visit. The pool area is beautiful. It would be nice if there were more towels as each bathroom had only two and there weren't any extras when we swam. There was a washer, but no dryer so it wasn't possible for us to do laundry.

The owner did allow us to get in the house a little earlier than usual check-in which was a huge help after flying in and getting groceries. The property manager lives on-site and was very kind and helpful.

Overall we were very happy with the rental.

Amazing property and view!

  • 5 of 5

This house is absolutely beautiful! At the last minute I needed to change the venue for my husband's birthday dinner, I reached out to Vesa (owner) and he responded in a very timely manner, we exchanged tons of emails making sure that we were on the same page. He answered all my emails and telephone calls and was extremely professional and patient. We met with Jason (property manager) to view the property before finalizing the payment. Throughout our stay Jason was there to answer and assist with any of our questions/needs.

Thanks to Vesa and Jason for facilitating an absolutely memorable event.

Nice property, poorly managed

  • 3 of 5

Beautiful setting, view and property. House comes with a property manager who physically oversees everything you do, and walks through the house at his own leisure. Unfortunately, amenities such as Wifi, a working jacuzzi and a working pool light are lacking. The beds are hard and extremely uncomfortable and the towels are basically rags with bleach stains. We had to figure out how the lighting worked and many lights were burnt out. We did not even complete our 24 hour stay before the next party came and invaded our last hours of the morning. All-in-all, the property has potential but is very poorly managed.

Owner's Response: Hi Nathan, Thank for your feedback. I’m sorry to hear that you didn’t have the best time at the property. We don't believe that all of your comments are accurate or fair but see detailed responses below: 1) Property manager We've asked the property manager to be very considerate of privacy and he will stay out of the way unless there's issues or if you require his help. Most guests find him very helpful. 2) Wifi, pool lights and jacuzzi Wifi is now available everywhere with additional range extenders since added. Pool and jacuzzi lights have been fixed. 3) Beds All beds and mattresses are brand new and have been bought for our own use with no expense spared. We have a preference personally for firmer mattresses. 4) Towels All towels have now been upgraded. 5) Lights These have now all been fixed. All light switches are now tagged to tell you which lights it operates. 6) Check-out The stay is not for 24 hours but check-in is 4pm and check-out at 11am. The next party arrived after 11am. We will never allow other parties to come before the scheduled check out time.

Bathed in a Mediterranean climate of emergency, this Málaga village has performed better in the ranking as well known cities like Paris or Rome. "It's that much Ojén Ojén" says proud one of her neighbors, Ana, while geraniums manages your window.

The British paper has already begun to take effect and reach these parts eager to know the place tourists. "We stayed in Marbella and we wanted to see for ourselves what the press says," says the London marriage of Susan and John Dixon. Both were delighted at your visit and promise to repeat next summer.

They are not the only ones who visit Ojén. The company Born to be wild about foreign trips each day to enjoy this place. "How is not going to like a city with so much charm and the sun so bright?" Asks one of the 15 Belgian one of the tours organized by the guide Jean Schenkkan.

Superb Villa location for perfect 60 birthday ..

  • 5 of 5

What a beautiful villa in a tranquil valley, everything is here for you to have a great holiday. Owner Isabel is outstanding with her customer care.

Ojen Village only a short car ride away and well worth a visit

Easy access to coast to visit Marbella or Puerto Banus, or exciting journeys to all the White Washed villages in the hills.

We wish the owner (Isabel) all the very best.

A fantastic villa!

  • 5 of 5

Almendro Blanco has everything you could ask for. Situated in stunning surroundings it certainly has the wow factor. We took our very boisterous 17 month old and he had a great time. The pool was securely locked away and he loved the play area, sand pit and toys. The adults were well catered for as well, with plenty of space for sociable bbqs, sunbathing and swimming. The house is also well equipped and the owner was on hand in case we needed anything. We are regulars to this area of Spain, as my Mother has her own town house in Ojen, and this is by far the best villa we have stayed in. Marbella and the famous Puerto Banus are only 10 minutes away, with beautiful beaches and lots of lovely restaurants. Ojen itself is a stunningly beautiful traditional Andalucian village. There are some lovely restaurants and bars there which are very reasonably priced. The Church in the square is the hub of the village and there is a great atmosphere there, especially when the local families are out enjoying themselves. We loved it so much we got married in Ojen last year and will be booking up this villa for next year!

      Recent Constantia Reviews

      5 of 5
      The WOW factor is 9.9 on the scale. We stayed in Lime Cottage for just under three weeks and cannot praise the property and the owner too highly. The cottage is luxurious and fitted out with quality, everything you need to make the stay very comfortable indeed. The cottage is located within very secure surroundings and just a short stroll from Constantia village. There are a number of vine yards within walking distance of the cottage. The owner and his assistants are extremely helpful and go out of their way to assist you whenever needed. We are returning again next year for four weeks and very much looking forward to a relaxing holiday. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Best equipped condo yet

  • 5 of 5

We stayed at Mark and Heather's place for Thanksgiving weekend. The condo has everything needed for a great stay. We were a little worried about the location at first because we usually stay so much closer to the strip. We should have never worried. We were only a few minutes from the Landing and never saw traffic between the condo and downtown Branson, even on one of the busiest weekends of the year. The condo was clean and everything was in working order. We would absolutely stay there again if we ever need another 3 bedroom for a stay. Thanks!

Great condo for the price!

  • 4 of 5

We had a wonderful time! The condo was very clean and comfortable. It's a bit outdated but suited our family just fine. We had no problems plus the location was very convenient to access the alternate routes and close to Branson Landing. Our college age kids used the fitness center onsite as well and said it provided what they needed.

Almost excellent

  • 4 of 5

We actually leave tomorrow morning, but I wanted to go ahead leave my review. Overall our stay was great with a few exceptions. #1 we had to niggle the handle after flushing in the master bedroom bc it would just keep running. #2 instructions about getting a parking pass were not clear. We were told to get one from the guard when we came in and they told us its the owners who are supposed to give us a parking pass. #3 this is my biggest problem and pardon my language, but your downstairs neighbor is an ass. Yes been up 3 times complaining about noise and stomping. Now, granted 1 out of the 3 times was justified bc we have 4 kids wit us and they got a little rowdy when we first got here. However, the other 2 times he came up and complained about noise and stomping and jumping we had literally just gotten in and had not been home all day; he also complained about hearing it all night the night before when again no one had been here till about 10pm and when we got home the kids immediately went to bed. Regardless when there are 4 adults and 4 kids in a house there is gonna be some noise and knocking on the door and cussing and threatning to call security is not the way to handle a situation.

Loved the balcony

  • 4 of 5

Our family enjoyed staying at this 3 bedroom condo. We loved sitting on the balcony watching the golfers. There was plenty of room for all 8 of us (one being a 2 year old). We made dinner almost every night; there was plenty of dishes and cookware. Everything was in working order and very clean. The condo was a little further out from the strip than I expected, but it was fine. We would stay here again.

Awesome value, but weird customer service issues

  • 4 of 5

This condo certainly was super awesome for our family of three kids. It had basically everything you could think of in the kitchen, stocked and clean bathrooms for every bedroom, TVs in each bedroom (important for kids with different ages), and a nice patio outside. The master bedroom had an awesome jacuzzi tub in the room. Woo-hoo!

The resort had a concierge that we used for show tickets as well as a decent game/activity room in addition to pools and a tennis court that we used daily. A grocery store and Dollar General are really close so you can stock the fridge with minimal hassle. Your kids will not complain of boredom for sure!

Our issues were as follows: We received an old email with an incorrect door entry code, but after a few phone calls and us hanging out outside for an hour after driving for 6 hours and having to pee, we got the correct code. We then received an incorrect wifi passcode. Between four devices and four people, it worked on none of the devices. We called and emailed about this with no response. After awhile, it looked as if the wifi network was possibly shut down entirely because we couldn't even select it. We were also greeted with a note on the doorknob that made it look like the utilities were about to be shut off, which is kind of an ominous sign.

The washing machine had a missing knob so we had to "use the force" when trying to wash clothes. We had to turn a broken screw thing. The first time, I think we washed them for about 5 minutes before it started spinning. Um, okay. After some trial and error (aka wasted time on our vacation), we were able to wash some clothes. Repeat for trying to wash the towels at the end. We left a note about this for the owners though, so hopefully it'll get fixed.

Anyway, was a very nice value for what we got, but the customer service stuff and the washing machine just needs some tweaking.

Great Experience Overall

  • 4 of 5

Our stay at this Holiday Hills condo was perfect for our family of two adult children and two parents. We all had our own bathroom and bedroom and we were always very comfortable in our own 'space.' Since we were there in the winter, most of the outdoor facilities were closed, but the grounds were well kept, and even as we expected to get some freezing rain and snow, we noted the grounds crews were ready with their plows and sand trucks.

The condo itself was clean and nicely decorated. All the little 'cabin' and 'cottage' touches were very nice. I felt the condo could use some paint color on the walls, as the white was a bit cold and uninviting. But that is a minor quibble. The kids said their beds were comfortable, but I found the master bed a bit too firm for my husband and me. The place was warm when we arrived, which was very nice, and we always felt safe, as the grounds were well-lit and the condo deadbolt was easy to use with the 4-digit security code. (No key to worry about losing!) There were plenty of warm blankets, pillows and there were also plenty of towels.

A few minor things. The internet is wired, so only one computer could ever connect at any time, and it is in the living room. A wireless router is very inexpensive, and since you already have the internet coming into the condo, it might be nice to update the router to a wireless one so everyone can easily connect while in the condo. The TVs are all outdated. A few flat screens would be nice as well.

One complaint noted by the previous guests in the guest book and one I would agree with is the check-in/check-out times. The check in time is 4 p.m. and the check-out time is 10 a.m. This is done, I suppose, to accommodate the cleaning crew that would need that much time to clean the place if people are coming in right after your visit. However, they ask you to strip down the beds and start your own laundry before leaving, since the towels take so long to dry. In my house, we can do several loads of laundry in six hours. It seems a bit inappropriate to ask vacationers to do the laundry, take out the trash, run the dishwasher, 'leave the kitchen as you found it' and get out by 10, after making them pay a 'cleaning fee'. Plus, we were asked to leave a tip by the cleaning person! We just wondered what the cleaning crew had left to do in six hours.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay, and would stay here again with the family, now that we know what to expect.

Absolutely beautiful holiday destination

  • 5 of 5

We were a party of 4 adults and an 8 yr old, 6 yr old, 3 yr old and stayed at Shirley and Robert's house for one week from 30th July 2016. As soon as we arrived we knew we had struck gold with this house. It is spacious, bright, modern and comfortable with everything you could wish for. The gardens are huge, mostly consisting of sloping lawns, and the pool is stunning- large, clean, not too cold for any of us (around 26-27 degrees). The pool area has several dining areas, some in the shade, some under trees, and the whole place is quiet and completely private. We loved it and just wished we could stay longer!

We had to contact Shirley once during our stay, about something that was not at all urgent, and our query was dealt with within one hour (although we had not expected any response during our week!) by a local handyman.

We visited Sarlat en Canada and Domme (both very pretty but touristy) and spent most mornings swimming in the Dordogne and then retreating to relax by the pool. Altogether a fabulous week.

Beautiful house, perfect location

  • 5 of 5

We stayed at this beautiful property for a week in August. The house, pool and gardens are stunning and I do not think the photos on here do it justice. Shirley and Robert have thought about absolutely everything, the house is so well equipped - if there is something you think you need and it is not somewhere in the house I would suggest you probably don't need it.

The location of the house is great, with the beautiful Grolejac and its lake just 5 minutes away. And all of the other towns and villages we wanted to visit such as Castelnaud, Sarlat and Rocamadour are all easily reachable.

We were recommended lunch in nearby Nabirat which was fantastic. No menus, they serve whatever they have made and five courses for €13, just great authentic simple French food.

I would thoroughly recommend this house to anyone, you will not be disappointed.

Lovely rural French escape

  • 5 of 5

We stayed here as two families - 4 adults and 4 children aged 3-9. It is in a gorgeous part of France, loads to see (we visited Sarlat, Chateaux Beynac and Castelnau among other things). The house is very well equipped and the pool area especially is lovely, with so many different seating/relaxing areas. The pool is not heated and though 3 of the children were fine with it in hot weather, 1 of the children found it too cold. It does cool down in the evenings and can be a bit cool in the mornings, but for part of our stay the weather was not quite as hot as normal. Once it got hot again it was warmer in the evenings. The house is very secluded, with no neighbours in sight, so it's very relaxing. We very much enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend it.

C est magnifique

  • 5 of 5

We have just returned from a wonderful holiday in this glorious house. The photo's on the web site are very impressive but nothing can prepare you for the breathtaking views and the ambience of the place - it's simply stunning!.

The house and grounds are so beautiful and the owners, Shirley and Robert, have provided everything you could wish for to ensure a perfect holiday.

The pool is amazing and our young granddaughters spent many happy hours there.

The local area has lots to offer - picturesque towns and villages to visit, lakeside beach, canoeing, cycling and many good restaurants -- that is if you can tear yourself away from the house.

This is definitely a place to return to !,

Beautiful house in a beautiful location.

  • 5 of 5

Photo's don't do this house justice, it's stunning, very private, peaceful, tranquil and picturesque. With lots of seating points to catch the sun or shade throughout the day and evening. Alfresco dinning was magnificent with barbeque and seating overlooking the lit pool at night. The house is beautifully decorated and furnished with a quirky edge. Our dog George was made as welcome as we were and loved wandering around the grounds in safety.

The area has a lot to see and do with great walks and cycle paths, with the highlights being kayaking down the Dordogne river and the lazy lunches in the many high quality, inexpensive restaurants and cafe's.

We will definitely come back with our extended family, with the house comfortably sleeping 3 couples and up to four children or 4 couples and two children.
