Initially advertised as ski in/ski out. This has since been corrected, but after we booked. Owner should emphasize the shuttle available that picks up near property. The shuttle is great, runs every 12 minutes.
Clearly, snow removal not done between renters. Front deck was unusable! Would have been awesome to sit outside on sunny afternoons, but over a foot of hardened snow/ice, covering deck and furniture, made this impossible during our stay. Definitely a ding for the property. The hot tub on the back porch was nice, but again, no snow removal made this a dangerous situation. The lack of snow removal from back deck also made using the grill quite a challenge. Not to mention propane tank was empty (thankfully, we were able to find the spare in the garage).
Another opportunity for the property to improve relating to guest safety, replace the the smoke detector. The smoke detector in the main living area was removed, wires hanging down where device should have been attached.
Other much more minor opportunities for improvement….
It is quite dry in colorado. We were thrilled to see a humidifier was available. However, it was broken prior to our arrival. Coasters provided, also broken prior to our arrival. Strategically placed area rugs were great, but unfortunately one of the exposed carpet tacks still managed to make it into my foot. Another situation related to lack of snow removal, a broken deck chair was frozen in the snow right in front of garage, making access to garage a challenge. And, please be aware, because property management/owner does not plow the driveway between guests, a 4WD vehicle is a MUST!!! There was definitely time to have plowed the drive in between snowstorms, prior to our arrival. This was not done. The driveway was a huge challenge.
The property is nice. With the available shuttle, the location was great. The kitchen was well stocked for 10. The above are suggestions for improvements to make the next guests have a great stay!!!
Thank you!
