Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
I thought the property was very reasonable. It was clean, comfortable, and warm. There was a washing machine and dryer, clean towels and linen available. I liked that there was also a selection of books to choose from as there was no internet at the house. There were also some DVD's, my teenagers couldn't find any that would actually play due to being scratched - it turned out alright - they were able to spend more time interacting, laughing and singing instead! There are also some books and puzzles available. We had a great time!

The house is very dusty. The first night the kids scratched and coughed from the dust all night. So second day i ended up having to dust and vacuum the house thoroughly, including top of heat pump that was very dusty therefore blew dust everywhere when operating. Otherwise cute little house with everything you neec for a ski trip.
