I booked a weeks vacation at Proctors Hotel and cottages in Laconia N.H.. I had to put down a 300.00 deposit in March with the balance to be paid upon arrival, when i went to write a check the owner "Fred" started to raise his voice in anger and was yelling at me like a child.Im 40...I had been a regular at the water front cottage's for about 10 yr's. Fred bought the property 3 yr's ago and we had a boat all those yr's and never had any problem's as we were out every day on our boat. Until this yr we had no boat to bring with us. We arrived on Saturday July 30th at 5.30 / 6.00 pm After convincing Fred I would go home and get his cash on Monday we set up our cottage (with great reservation) I wanted to leave but new he would keep my 400.00 in cash i gave him on check in. On Sunday I recieved a call from my Dad saying there was a death in the Family,I took my son who is 7 and left Monday evening about 9 pm , To come home to Mass for the wake also to get Fred's CASH. I left my 2 oldest son's at the cottage as they have there own car's and cell phone's 17 and 18and a half. I had told my son he could have some friend's up ...not to exceed 7 people as Fred had brain washed into my head earlier. My son's friend's Father had drove his son and another friend 2 hour's to spend 2 day's with us when they arrived Fred the owner started yelling at the boy's .My son very upset called me at home as i was preparing for the wake and told me what was going on. I spoke to Fred and explained there was a death and i would be back first thing in the morning I told him my son was an adult and everything was fine. Even though I had paid 800.00 in cash after only 2 day's he told me my money was all used up! My son's and there friend's had to leave, he continued to yell at me on the phone ,i asked please put my son on the phone,i told him to pack up every thing and come to find out Fred had been on an extention line and yelled" they better clean the place up good! I was in shock he was ease dropping on my call with my son. He said he would watch them like a hawk and sleep out side our cottage He called my son's little punk's and he dosent want people coming and going, i had already told him there would be diffrent people there through out the week and that we would not exceed 7 . He said that was fine that they just had to let him know when someone was leaving and another coming for the nite. I did not make it to the wake as i was to upset and went back to Proctor's to make sure every thing was o.k. I asked the people next to me if they heard any music,seen anyone drinking, or smoking a cigarette for that matter.They said no way ...they heard nothing and that the boy's were down at the center playing arcade game's ,all they did was come back to sleep. Fred had the nerve to come and hand my son a bill for the whole week and use of the boat dock at 20.00 per nite when i didn't even have a boat! I gave him a bill and told him i wanted a refund of 350.00 for the time we paid for (befor we were harrassed and tormented by this person) I have come to the conclusion as did my son's friend's Father that this man "rent's" his property for an outragious amount of money 1700.00 weekly for 7 people But really dosen't want anyone on his property. I also heard him angerly tell 4 young adult's not to sit on the dock and talk , when asked why? He said this is how i run my place and i dont want you sitting on the dock's! One more thing Fred has kept my money(i intend to bring him to court) and still daily trying to credit my account for outrages amount's of money.I cancelled my card thank goodness or i would be living in the street with the money he's tryed to get out of my card. Im not over the hurt that I missed my dear uncle Roger's wake , to go protect my son's from this bitter keeper of the land,who will watch your every move if you stay there...BEWARE.
