Overall this experience taught us to be careful about renting on VRBO. Owners can claim any amenities they want, and the company relies only on reviews to police them. Not sure if we'll do VRBO again, for this reason. For us, discovering there was no working fireplace, in spite of "fireplace" being listed under amenities, was a really big disappointment.
The owner was very responsive to communications, including when I lost the key--she got me a spare within minutes. The property was clean, though very dated, with a 70s era condo aesthetic. It did feel fairly private despite being surrounded by other condos, because no one else was staying in the other condos. I would imagine it would be less private during more popular times of the year (we stayed in the week between Christmas and New year).
We enjoyed the hot tub and didn't find the instructions around adding chemicals to be too onerous. It was nice sitting in the hot tub and looking at the stars on the deck. On a clear night, it'd be nice to have a telescope because there's basically no light pollution. My spouse and I could handle it, but some people may have difficulty with the lid of the hot tub. It's pretty heavy and awkward to take off.
There are hills all around, so it'd be great for sledding, though we weren't lucky enough to get snow.
If you have a dog you want to bring, be warned that you'll have to keep it off the furniture and beds or bring blankets to cover everything (that's what we did). That's good news, if you're allergic to dogs.
The kitchen does have pots and pans and dishes. They aren't great quality (flaking teflon, dented bottoms), so if you're cooking and particular, you may want to bring your own.
But the biggest disappointment was the fireplace. We all really wanted a fireplace, so the fact that the property description included "fireplace" on its list of amenities is the main reason we chose this place. We didn't learn that the fireplace wasn't functional until after the no cancellation date had passed. I brought it up with the owner and she said that she put in the notes (not visible on my mobile app) that she has an "electric fireplace." To me, this is beside the point. First, renters shouldn't have to search the fine print to verify the amenities are really there. Second, it is disingenuous for her to claim a fireplace as an amenity at all. She DOES NOT have a place that people can build fired in, so she shouldn't include "fireplace" under amenities.
