Overall the house was great. It was a good set up and the house was nice inside. I would definitely stay there again. My biggest issues is that all of the fees and taxes were more then it cost to rent the actual house.

Spacious home
We enjoyed our stay. The house is spacious, very clean and relatively comfortable. In February, it was a very quiet area with deep snow everywhere. You need a 4WD vehicle to get in and out. We found the management company to be pretty unresponsive and had to contact them for our checkin door code just minutes before arrival. They never got back to us about other questions we had. The house could do with a few things: hairdryer, kettle, humidifiers as it gets incredibly dry inside from the heating, ice melt for the driveway (very steep and can be dangerous with ice), and wood pellets for the stove (the description says its gas which is wrong). Otherwise we had a good time!

Overall it was nice. But so many little things that were irritating. We all could see that within a year or so all these deferred maintenance items will add up to more serious issues. 1. Living area lights were close to impossible to figure out how to turn on (the hidden remotes didn't help). 2. Washcloths not available. 3. REALLY SCRATCHED NON-STICK PANS. Please replace those with regular pans that won't shed.4. No serving spoons!! 5.Super cheap paper towels. I didn't think they could make paper that thin.6.. Table on back deck very wobbly- need to tighten the screws. 7. Screws missing from front deck screen door and some screws are the wrong size so the door is loose. 8. Can opener was weird and wouldn't open a mason jar. Need a traditional beer opener.The home was very clean, which was great. Convenient and very quiet.
