First of all, the house was neat and clean and orderly when we arrived. There was a mix up on how to get into the house. It was supposed to be unlocked, but was locked and no one could help us. On our own, we finally found a hidden key outside. Although it has not been updated, the house was in reasonably good shape. It was reasonably priced compared to other condos and homes in the area. It is a ski in, ski out house, if there is enough snow on the road. There are plenty of beds for a large group like ours and the kitchen was even stocked with groceries left behind by other renters. (Really do need more than 7 forks) It is also nice that we had a 2 car garage to park in.
If you don't have a four wheel drive vehicle, do not rent this house because of the steep driveway down to the house. We had two front wheel drive vehicles and had trouble getting up the icy street in front of the house. The driveway was the real challenge. It was steep and covered in a thick layer of ice. They had a snow removal service but we still had to shovel and chip out the ice in two ruts to get down the driveway and into the garage. Getting out was another matter entirely. The snow plow service "cleared" the driveway of a recent 9" snow but still left the thick layer of ice. We had snow socks (like chains) for our front wheel drive vehicles, and, with significant effort were able to get both vehicles up the steep driveway. Even the man (Darren) who lives in the separate basement was not able to get out of the driveway without our help.
Inside the house, the sheets on the beds were badly pilled, scratchy and uncomfortable. New sheets are badly needed.
All of the toilets were not sufficiently anchored down and rocked back and forth when you sat down. The house has 2.5 bathrooms, but you are warned not to use the shower upstairs because it leaks.
You definitely need to bring extra toilet paper and paper towels. With a family of six adults and three kids, we quickly ran through their supply. (one extra roll of toilet paper and no extra paper towels; we were staying for six nights). They should provide extra toilet paper in each bathroom as well as extra paper towels in the kitchen.
During our stay, water began to leak from the ceiling in the kitchen. Darren was able to remove snow from the roof to stop the leak. However, we almost had water damage to a laptop and a cell phone that were near the leak. For the price we paid, we shouldn't have had these issues..
