Family Reunion
The property was very well-equipped. If you imagined needing something it was in the kitchen or in a logical space in a closet. We could seat and entertain all of our extended family for a birthday party and reunion. We had a wonderful, memorable time here and hope to be back. Thank you!

No AC. Rooms on upper level were too hot.
The unit was clean and has lots of room for a big group. The biggest down side is that there was no AC. The upstairs rooms were super hot and couldn't sleep at night. Can't use hot tub in the summer time. The pictures show a pool table but there was none in the house. The propane gas for the grill ran out while we just starting to grill. Other than these it was a great stay.

Perfect location for exploring and proximity to town.
The home was well setup for our multigenerational family vacation. Bedrooms and bath on all floors made it very convenient for everyone. The description had a pool table listed which was not there but we found other activities to do. The hot tub was big success after long days of hiking and swimming. Good location.

Not the best.
No one reached out to me for my pin, all the phone numbers they give you to call, doesn’t work. I was left stranded with no wifi and not a single phone number that works. There’s no ac. So it was very hot. I most definitely wouldn’t go again.

Our family very much enjoyed our stay!! We had 15 of us and had plenty of room! Hot tub was perfect after hitting the slopes all day! We were right on Big Powderhorn and had easy access to the lifts! We had so much fun! The management team was just a call away and super accommodating to all of our requests! Thank you so much! Can’t wait to come back next year!

Hot tub doesn’t work and was dirty, updates needed, a lot of electrical problems beware!
Checked in and the hot tub was filthy, needed it emptied and new water was put in. So the first day no hot tub for us. After that it would trip the breaker often that I would reset. I saw previous reviews and I asked to make sure the hot tub would not be an issue before my stay and was assured it was fixed. It was not! The main breaker blew 3 times during our stay when the stove was turned on. I am an electrician and they have major electrical problems, which I have alerted them on. While the location is perfect the total cost of the unit doesn’t come close to what you should get. House needs an update and that electrical needs to be fixed before they have a accident. Rental staff did their best and the maintenance man was great in coming out to fix the hot tub (I’m guessing he’s use to this). Overall cleanliness was to be expected, I found some mouse droppings in a pan but I wasn’t shocked. My suggestion is stay somewhere else you will be disappointed!

Needs lots of TLC
Initially when we arrived, the house was extremely musty, closed up smelled, I had to go purchase a fan to make the bad air circulate its way out! Outside there was a deck around the house which may have been nice, if the rail was broken, I did not let anyone walk around our there because it'd be way to easy to fall down so far. The garage must of been there forever, all the garbage cans were filled to capacity, it smelled, and my sister did not get any sleep because of the critters going through the garbage all night! I did call the office and I did get a good response and they came and empty the garbage! the place was not clean! We made the best of it, because we were determine to have a good time after a 10 hour drive. You need to pay attention to your rental because I rent a lot from Airbnb and this was by far the worst place when it came to safety and cleaniness.

Property should not be listed.
We had to get a hotel.. I want a full refund. No way to contact anyone!! You have bumble bees in the fire place coming in the house through the wall exhaust. Mouse feces on the counter tops Dead mouse on the carpet stuck to the carpet. Charcoal Ashes on the deck Next to the gas grill Grass is foot high getting up to the front door Had to walk through spiderwebs to get through the house Back Door walks out to the deck with the guard rail has rotted off the deck to a 6’ fall. Place is not clean and a safety hazards Cut wires hanging from the roof over the deck This home listed on HomeAway is false advertisement!

OK, but nothing special for the money
House was very musty, smelled like no one had been in it for weeks. Many of the screens were missing, so we couldn't open doors or windows. The forced-air furnace had no option turn the fan on. No air conditioning. Wasn't even hot (in the mid 70's), but we had to go in to town and buy 3 fans in order be able to sleep. Other than the smell/heat the cabin was comfortable for the 6 couples who stayed there. Kitchen was nicely supplied. Beds were Ok.

A very comfortable place to stay. Clean linens & fully stocked kitchen
Really in need of screens for All windows & doors. A dehumidifier would really help the lower level. Overall the best place we have stayed at in the UP !
