I really have mixed feelings about this place, so let me review in sections.
Location: 5 stars. Really wonderful. It's really close to the slopes and in an area that is accessible to the amenities that you need, such as grocery stores, ski rentals, restaurants, fast food places, coffee shops, etc.
Home itself: 5 stars. It was clean, airy, had modern amenities such as heated bathroom floors, 2 nest thermostats - one for rest of the house, one for the master bedroom, surround sound that loops throughout the living area and master bedroom.
Amenities/Details: 3 stars. Here is where I am torn about this place. I have stayed in MANY properties over the years. In all the over 40 properties we have stayed at, this is the first time, I've seen the following:
1. Bathrooms have no toiletries. No Shampoo, Conditioner, Body wash, etc. For the first time, I thought I would save space and not bring anything because for 2 days, we could just use the amenities provided, especially since the home was so nice, I never gave a second thought to it. Ended up needing to buy it all.
2. There is a laundry list of things that you must do or else you will be charged a minimum of $25 for each.
- Trash must be taken with you, otherwise they charge $25 per bag. There is a dumpster area a couple miles away. They only provided 3 trash bags.
- You must empty out the fridge - otherwise, charge.
- Dishes/Pot/Pans, must be washed AND put away - no just placed into the dishwasher and run. They only provide organic dishwasher liquid which does not work so even after placing everything into the dishwasher to run, you will need to again hand wash everything off. So in the morning time, as you're trying to pack the kids up after their breakfast, you have to spend an extra 45 minutes washing/cleaning/drying, and putting away dishes, before check out.
3. Check out is at 10:00am - If you're going to ask us to put away the dishes, maybe allow a bit more time to check out. I woke up at 6:30 just to make sure we had enough time to get it all done.
4. No Microwave - Thank goodness a previous reviewer mentioned this in their review so we brought one.
5. No Wine Glasses - We drank wine from water cups.
6. No Children Items - It's really easy to store a highchair and/or a pack and play in the closet for people to use. One less thing people with families need to worry about.
There are a few other things, but I will leave it at this. Overall, just make sure you literally bring everything you would need before coming to the house. The house itself is beautiful and you will enjoy bring here. This review is merely constructive feedback to make the property even better.
