The views from this house are just spectacular — the listing photos were obviously enough for us to book, but they would get so much more traffic if they took a new batch of professional photos!
We hope to return for holidays!
PROs:
Location - so easy to get to purg, the nugget, and strolls in the neighborhood are great!
Stocked Kitchen w/ every tool and most condiment (spices, flour) you can think of, but we would’ve loved more cocktail tools like a shaker, martini glasses, more wine glasses (there were 6).
The PANTRY was wonderful... that’s essentially the 2nd kitchen with blue cabinets!
Dinner on patio off the kitchen/main level amazing, but 2 holes in the deck (covered with wood) were a little scary.
Ample parking + gigantic garage.
All beds we used were comfy, incl the pullout sofa on bottom level.
Lots of Cleaning supplies available.. disinfecting spray, dish soap, hand soap, dishwasher pods, laundry detergent, etc.
Tons of dish towels (though only 2 bath towels per bathroom, no extra sheets).
Couple of CONs but I would absolutely stay here again!
- There are 2 dead aspen trees by the garage; we were worried, as they will eventually fall on a car.
- There are at least 5 lock boxes out front, all with different codes. I wish we had clarified ahead of time WHICH box we had a code for. I also wish the property mgr had communicated that he had unlocked the house for us.
- Only 1 king bed (in master) and no closet or dresser in the master.
- We had a lot of very slow/near-death flies (we killed at least 40) in the kitchen corner by big window. Could just be from house not being in use right before us. They showed no interest in our food so I wasn’t too bothered.
- WiFi ranged from mediocre to bad.
- Hot tub with views from the lower deck was fabulous but next time we want the chlorine tabs added before checkin.
- Like a previous reviewer mentioned, we were booted off from fishing in the lake — Tim the lake manager is controlling the narrative on your feud. Please just pay the $150 annual fishing fee.
- Some general wear and tear on the house.
Couple of items need repair:
1 Dining table pendant light is burned out
1 Dishwasher is not heating/cleaning (the one by the kitchen sink) — don’t worry bc there’s a second dishwasher!
1 Oven (the right side) was constantly re-lighting and had temp settings in Celsius — don’t worry bc there’s a second oven!
2 Screens in the Bear Room, and the right window won’t crank.
