Check in was seamless. The house was perfect for our family of ten summer weekend together. We meet as a family every summer and this is the first kitchen we could all fit in. It was very well supplied. We loved dinner on the deck and games around the large dinner table. The location was great for family hikes and a lake day at Angora Lakes. We highly recommend the home in the mountains.

Lovely home. Easily accommodated our family of 16. Has everything you need in the kitchen. Nice 5 minute walk to the river. Beware - A bear did break into our truck. A bear paw print (picture attached) was noted on the truck near the door handle, and a flip flop left by the front door was found inside the truck. No damage inside, as there was nothing inside the truck.

Excellent Home for a Retreat
Our church leadership team used this home as a place of retreat and planning for our church family. It was perfectly situated near town and a charging station. It had several comfortable, large rooms, an open kitchen and cozy meeting place for us all to be together to pray and plan. So thankful we found this gem. It was well stocked with towels and items we needed for cooking and eating meals. The property was beautiful and perfect for our needs.

The property met all our expectations. It was challenging getting to the property because of a severe snow storm, but once we arrived everything was as advertised.The amenities were excellant with 3 fireplaces, a pool table, hot tub, steam room & dry sauna. We had plenty of dishes & cooking utensils.The house was very clean with lots of linens and towels.We were surprised when the property management showed up 1st thing after the storm stopped & shoveled the driveway.We would definitely consider returning again in the future.

Great for Families
The property was just as described. Worked well for our two families. The kids loved sleeping in the basement and plenty of rooms for the adults. Excellent support, even at 3:00 AM when I hit the wrong button on the alarm.We skied Heavenly and Kirkwood and it was right in the middle. It is a drive to do anything, but our family typically stay in the house after skiing, so that was not an issue for us.

A few things to improve
This would have been a 5 star rating - 16 adult family members stayed for a week - but the property could use a few improvements.
First - it was clean! - No issues on the cleanliness or the comfort of the beds in the 6 bedrooms. Baths were well located and in good shape. The unit was quiet as was the neighborhood. Great walks and hikes could be taken right from the property.
Some improvements are in order: This property is listed for up to 16 adults and 4 children. However the living room had one full size couch, one love seat and on oversize chair. Comfortable seating for just 6 people. The dining room table accommodated 8 for a meal at one time - the rest of the family had to sit at bar stools or we ate in shifts. The room would have accommodated a larger dining table - at least 12, and there was space for more comfortable seating in front of the TV - fireplace.
The kitchen was the best equipped I had ever used in a rental. The problem was that EVERY cupboard was full and there was no place to store non refrigerated food except out on the counters that also needed to be used for food prep and dining. This made meals a challenge and could easily be remedied by emptying a few of the cupboards of extra pots, pans, bowls, toasting devices, etc.
Finally, the beds in the game room ideally use for children or teenagers were single twins. We had several young adults there and the beds were too short. Could use a few extra long twin beds or double /twin bunks.

A great family and friend vacation
This house was the perfect place for some of my family and friends to get together for a ski vacation. It has plenty of space, all the amenities you could want, and such an incredible location. About a 30min drive to Kirkwood, and 15 minutes into South Lake, it really is a great destination. We had the best time, the house was clean and I was particularly stoked in the sauna. We will definitely be back!
