Silver Star Mountain - 3 Bedroom - Ski Out - Sleeps 6

The Daschund House is a beautiful well maintained property loaded with amenities and tasteful finishings. The owner was responsive and trustworthy. The views from this house are very inspiring. Having a hot tub all to ourselves was a lovely bonus that we indulged in daily, sometimes more. We had a full week of stellar alpine and Nordic skiing. It was tough to return to the city after staying here.

So really my rating is 4.5 not 4 and not 5. It is not a 5 because the kitchen for this suite is teeny - more like a kitchen for a studio apartment - with the microwave in the pantry along with a vacuum cleaner, a spare chair, and a broken chair. Although the kitchen was incredibly well-stocked, there was virtually no counter space for food preparation or service. The kitchens in the upper suite (sleeps 2) and lower suite (sleeps 4/5) in this house are large and stunning! Also, the door access code for the middle suite was finicky. We followed instructions from Rob and Denys but still had to fuss each time we needed to lock or unlock the door. I would recommend leaving a spare key in the suite. We often went in separate directions - sometimes Nordic skiing while others alpine skied so having two keys would have been nice. Finally, this was supposed to be a pet free suite but there were long white animal hairs throughout. This could be a problem for someone who had an allergy to animals.

I would recommend renting any of the three suites in this house. The middle suite had a bigger view than the lower suite if you don't mind a wee kitchen. The upper suite only sleeps two - perfect for a romantic getaway. It is gorgeous with expansive views!
