Our family was very excited to come across this property to rent. We have a very large family and since we are spread out over different provinces it has become tradition to meet in Fairmont for a ski holiday. Husbands family vacation rental seemed to have everything to suit our needs.

Honestly though, the owners should take more pictures because the ones on this site don't even come close to doing the property justice. The yard, location and house were all unbelievable. The general floor plan of the house and bedroom setup was ideal for a large group. The only real downside to the actual house itself was the size of the kitchen. It was difficult to maneuver around but overall it was manageable.

We did have several hiccups during our week stay. First, the hot tub was not full enough. We noticed this immediately and after a couple days we were concerned about the level falling below the return. As we didn't have any option for filling the tub we spent half a day tracking buckets of water from the sink to ensure the water level remained high enough not to cause any issues.

Second, we found the dishwasher was leaking so luckily we managed to catch it early and spent a few hours fixing it.

Thirdly, as luck would have it the garburator also wasn't working. My father in law and brother in law spent the afternoon taking it apart to fix it as well. The culprit turned out to be a straw that had gone down which we could confirm was not from us as we didn't have any.

The washer and dryer are older so beware; we struggled a bit with the dryer as it was taking approximately 2 hours to dry a load.

The house had a ton of games and movies which was also an added bonus. We were lucky enough to be able to take advantage of both but sadly the video game machine that is advertised wasn't working either.

I would recommend the homeowners leave more details as to what they expect in regards to cleaning prior to leaving. We have been renting property in Fairmont for over 20 years with never an issue. Although we left the property in the condition we found it (with added repairs) the homeowner has alleged damages/cleaning concerns that weren't present during our stay.

I find this very disheartening as even with all the issues we really did enjoy our time. I would recommend that anyone renting this property be cognizant of the conditions during your stay. Take lots of pictures before and after to document any concerns and cover yourself.
