I first want to say that we have been staying at VRBO properties for many years and this one is absolutely beautiful and very clean. It is very welcoming, spacious, open and very comfortable. I would definitely recommend this home without hesitation.
The unfortunate thing that happened to us was arriving during a very big snowstorm which dumped over 3' of snow as we were arriving. To our very big disappointment when arriving at 4:30 P.M. was realizing that the driveway had not been plowed out at all. Our vehicle got stuck trying to get down the driveway and we had to find a shovel to get our vehicle unstuck, and had to shovel our way into the driveway and the house.
Apparently, the plow guy was not informed that renters were coming in, but for the amount of money paid to stay I would expect the driveway to be plowed and steps shoveled.
The owner did contact the plow guy, and he did arrive after about an hour. However he never did plow both sides of the driveway and it made it very difficult to get in and out of the driveway because it is downhill from the road. The owner mentioned that we should have accessed from the top side of the driveway, but that was impossible and the fact that the plow guy never even plowed that entrance side just proved how much snow there was (he didn't even plow it with his plow truck). After a couple days, my friend and I went outside and shoveled that entrance so we would have an easier time to get in and out. This unfortunately was not something I expected to have to take care of myself.
I definitely would stay at this home again, with hopes that the driveway situation is not the normal protocol. The home itself is so beautiful and comfortable. Everyone that was in our group absolutely loved this home, and was very happy and comfortable here.
Thank you for hosting my family and friends for an enjoyable ski vacation. Once the driveway situation had passed, the skiing in 3' of powder was a dream while on a ski vacation.
I would like to also mention to anyone looking to rent for skiing, it is a little way down the bottom of the hill to the base lodge, so I drove everyone that was skiing down to the lodge because it would not have been a fun walk. Luckily I didn't ski, so I could be taxi when needed. It is very close to the lodge though, and apparently there is a shuttle, although our group did not take the shuttle because I drove them down.
