Summer Family Fun
The location was great, but that was about it. The bed sheets were old and the master comforter was torn. Pillows were also old and needed to be replaced. None of the windows had curtains or shades or anything- so nobody could sleep in. Literally no privacy in the bedrooms. When we arrived we couldn’t get in, as we didn’t realize there were 3 lock boxes. Had to wait an hour for a call back from rental manager to get in.

spacious and spotless ski house
The home is beautiful and recently remodeled with impeccable kitchen and bathrooms. Heater worked well to keep the house warm. Five stars overall with the following suggestions for improvement:
—king bed in master bedroom is sinking. We had to move to the downstairs bedroom after a sleepless night there
—one bed in upstairs bedroom had not had sheets changed from the prior guest
—back door to the hot tub cannot be left unlocked and we locked ourselves out when using the hot tub (thankfully averted disaster by locking the front door)
One of the wonderful things about this home is the quiet neighborhood and that it’s across the street from a large forest that was wonderful to explore and play in during the winter for our family.

Wedding weekend
The house was wonderful. Very clean except the sheets in the master bedroom had dog hair all over them so we changed them. We wish we could have enjoyed the place a bit more, but we were there for our daughter’s wedding and so we were very busy elsewhere.

The overall property was good. Check in process would have been better. The driveway was completely iced up and slippery when we arrived. Had to spend 1 hour in the cold shoveling snow and removing ice so that I could park my car safely.
