House was huge and excellent overall! Great view of the mountains! 7 bedrooms total. Lots of space and house is updated and fresh. Beds were very comfortable with lots of spare linens and blankets provided. Hot tub was clean and hot. There were mini-split heat pumps installed in the colder spaces. TVs on every floor. Two Full Kitchens were very stocked, with the exception of pepper and cooking oil as expected. One issue in the house was low water pressure, which was worse when multilpe showers were running. Dish soap, dishwasher pods, laundry detergent, bath soap, shampoo and conditioner, paper towels, and toilet paper were all stocked. You might bring extra of these if you need a lot. We found we needed extra garbage bags after a couple days. No facial tissues or lotion provided. Tons of kids toys, kids board games, big bean bags, games in garage, also a high chair and two pack n plays, etc. - this is a great house if you have kids of all ages in your group! Even kids eating utensils and dishes are available. Another note that the basement bedrooms were quite noisy from foot traffic above. Had trouble consistently starting one of the dishwashers on the main level but still cleaned well. It was a little slick getting to the house in fresh snow without snow tires, but everything had been recently plowed too. Overall, our entire group loved this house and we would definitely come back! Thank you for a wonderful experience and letting us stay in your mountain home!
