We were so happy with this experience! The house is in a mountain neighborhood, 10 minutes from downtown Breck. The "back yard" has a forest with a beaver pond which you can look down on, sitting on the large back deck. We sat out there and listened to birds and the wind in the trees, and we took in deep breaths of the mountain air.
The house has mostly modern furniture - the dining room table is huge and so beautiful, the beds were new, the bathrooms are new, the flooring appeared new, the appliances were all new, with the exception of a 70s or 80s era microwave, which was so cool and still completely functional! There are four red chairs in the downstairs from the 70s which are super hip. The pool table could use some refelting, but it is certainly playable by this group of amateurs. I was shocked at the cost of cleaning when I made my reservation, but when we got inside the house, I understood. There are 2 and half levels, 3 bathrooms, 3 bedrooms, 2 family rooms and they allow dogs. When we arrived, the house was immaculate and so welcoming.
The levels in the house are joined by a circular staircase, so this might not be the greatest place for a family with a crawler or toddler, unless you bring a baby gate and creatively deploy it (there aren't two door frames to put it between, in other words) to block off the stairs.
The deck has wire fencing which makes it a great place for a dog to hang out, without fear of it taking off into the woods. There was a grill on the deck which looked to be operable, but we didn't try it.
We are a family of five, so we used all 5 beds. There are 2 beds in the upstairs loft, so we could have had two more kids and still been comfortable. I could see two couples and 4 kids residing comfortably there because both of the large bedrooms (lower level and mid-level) have a bathroom.
The house is near the neighborhood road, like all the other houses in the neighborhood, but we didn't notice a lot of traffic or noise from it. It is NOT near a major road, by any means.
The air conditioning worked well, though we preferred to have the windows open so we could hear nature. The TV, VCR, etc. all were in working order. The water was hot and the showers were great.
We saw a deer walking near the house one evening and we kept an eye out, but never did see a moose or a bear.
The property management office was very friendly and helpful.
