My sister and I stayed here for 11 nights, and had such a wonderful time! It was our first time visiting the area, but we'll definitely be back.
There's just so much to love about this house:
-Newly remodeled/furnished.
-Every detail has been thought of: whenever I needed a hook, a light switch, a lamp, a shelf, a heater, it was there! The hosts have really maximized for livability, comfort and convenience.
-The furnishings/decor are a wonderful mix of modern/Scandinavian/eclectic farmhouse; if you like interior design, you’ll really appreciate this house.
-Stable, high-speed Wi-Fi. I worked and did video conference calls with no issues.
-The bedding and towels are absolutely dreamy—so fluffy, indulgent and new! Even special washcloths for removing makeup—bravo!
-Nice quality (and nice smelling!) travel-size toiletries.
-The kitchen is well-stocked with pots/pans, containers, mixing bowls, cookie sheets, a variety of cooking utensils and other supplies like olive oil, basic spices, tin foil, bags, etc. (we did a lot of cooking/baking/grilling). There’s not a blender/mixer, but we did just fine with hand-mixing.
-The owners left a nice bottle of wine and handwritten note for our arrival, which was a nice touch.
-The location is up a steep hill outside of Lead, by the ski resort. It’s gorgeous, and the neighborhood is quiet. We saw deer and wild turkeys in the yard a couple times, and really enjoyed sitting on the deck for coffee in the morning and BBQ/wine at night. The firepit is very cozy too.
We had a couple snags, but they’re very minor and wouldn’t deter us from staying again:
• The check-in and house instructions probably need to be updated (e.g., keys were not located where the instructions said; the welcome booklet references washer/dryer when there isn’t any, etc.).
• It wasn’t super clear from the listing/pictures that both bathrooms are on the upper floor, and one of them is a “Jack and Jill” bathroom with pocket doors between the two upstairs bedrooms. It worked fine for us, but just something to be aware of, depending on the size and composition of the group.
Overall, we were very happy with our stay! It’s clear that the owners/property manager have put a lot of thought and effort into creating such a fabulously comfortable place! Would highly recommend it!
