GingerBreck House
This house is very nice and in a good location. However, the description on VRBO is not accurate so check with the host (although I had difficulty reaching anyone) if you have concerns. The amenities are fine but not great.

Great location but needs work
First off let me say that the location was superb and so convenient. However, we did run into some issues with the house. First off when you turn the stove on the overwhelming smell of gas quickly fills the room, then we have to mention the fact that we found a pair of used women's underwear in the couch. We were pretty grossed out and tried to wash the sheets and towls but the washer was leaking so bad we couldnt do any laundry. on the last night we were in the hot tub and about 30 min. In we were surrounded by the overwhelming smell of gas again so we cut our night short and went to bed. I did speak to the property manager and he refunded the cleaning fee so guess thats okay but overall we were a bit disappointed in the stay.

Needs Maintenance
We found this property littered with trash, broken deck chairs, and overall not very clean.
There were 5 missing window screens for the bedrooms and kitchen, which made the house extremely hot in the summer. The hot tub was missing 3 neck pillows, the deck chairs were broken and cigarette butts littered in the yard. The house beds are all very hard and not comfortable. The pans are all scratched and not in good condition. There are also no fans in the house except again, a broken one. Lots of broken things throughout the property.
Overall, we felt this place needs some maintenance and repairs.

Cozy Mountain Getaway
My family and I (and our furry friends) thoroughly enjoyed this cozy mountain getaway. The kids took over the upstairs and the basement will we enjoyed the main level. The location was close to several hikes and a short drive to Breck. Two things to note, they could use an outdoor patio set to enjoy the summertime and the BBQ grill wasn’t available (stuff happens) but a note ahead of time would have been nice. Overall, very happy with the place and would stay here again!

Disappointing
I hate leaving negative reviews but hopefully an honest review will help others considering this property.
For starters, when we flipped one of the comforters around we found blood all over the backside. No one from our group had been bleeding and when we sprayed it with cleaner the blood turned orange like the comforter hadn't been washed at all.
It doesn't seem like whoever runs this property has actually stayed here. The mattresses are all so uncomfortable my parents rented a separate place to stay in so they could get some sleep. There weren't enough towels for eight people. There wasn't enough room for our family (8 people) to sit together in the living room. Multiple outlets don't work. Neither of the coffee makers work.
My sister called the property management company and they brought more towels and a new coffee maker. However, they never responded to my message when I sent them a photo of the bloody comforter and listed other concerns.
My family drove nine hours to stay here and we all couldn't wait to leave. Not how you want to spend a family vacation.
To end on a positive note: The cabin had a lot of space, the location is great and the hot tub was nice. They also sent a crew to clear the deck and stairs of snow.
