A little outdated

The inside of the house is outdated and needs some remodeling. Some the furniture is old and broken down. We had drying towels but no wash cloths. I was not aware that the house was a 2 story duplex when I rented it. The neighbors downstairs had a barking dog and a crying baby. Not exactly relaxing. it.

Cozy chalet in the mountains

The chalet was clean, well equipped, and comfortable. It sits tucked at the base of big Powderhorn mountain, so it’s right in the woods and surrounded by nature and walking trails. The check-in process was easy and our stay, although one night, was quite enjoyable. Don’t miss the opportunity to view the waterfalls nearby and to travel to the top of the ski flying hill at Copper Peak.
