We wanted a chance for a white Christmas getaway with our kids and six grandkids (1 to 13), so we reserved this VRBO early in the year. Alas, we caught a dry couple of weeks and had no snow. This place was great for our group. The kids played outside with the toys they got and the many diversions on the property - ping pong, hot tub, giant tree swing, and more. It's a vast, secluded property ... no helicopter parenting is required. There is also plenty of space indoors, with several smart TVs (and excellent WiFi). The 4' wide fireplace is massive and keeps it cozy. The layout is fantastic for large groups, with a kitchen open to the family room opening into the billiards table. Apparently, there are a lot of municipal regulations on VRBO, and the host must meet us at check-in to review them. A screaming baby and raucous 3, 6, and 8-year-olds notwithstanding, we're a pretty quiet bunch, so the 10 PM curfew wasn't a problem. The kitchen table expands to seat 10, and it still feels spacious. There's a window nook where the littles sat for meals. When we needed something, the hosts responded quickly via text with detailed answers. (Refilling the hot tub, clarifying the checkout procedures, etc.) They went above and beyond to make our family mountain Christmas memorable. Friendly people with their grandkids, whom they regularly entertain on the property.
