The house was nice and the view was beautiful. The gas fireplace didn't work and the hot tub was dirty. I reached out about them and was told maintenance team would be by to take care of them. No one ever showed up so we couldn't use either of them during our week stay. It was cold and both would have been nice amenities.

I am not even sure where to start about this place. I have created a list below of all the issues. For the host experience they tried to be nice but not one thing was addressed during our stay. Not having heat in the master bedroom when it’s in the teens at night is unacceptable. We had to sleep in the living room on the couch bc other people were in the other bedrooms. Also the master bathroom was freezing bc of no heat so it was hard to actually take a shower in there bc of how cold it was. I would never recommend this to a large family it’s very cramped and the kitchen is incredibly small. NO HEAT in the master bedroom or bathroom No outside Trash CansNo working bulb in the room with 2 beds - we had to go buy one The “pantry” in the laundry room was an absolute messAt night in the living room you cannot see anything no overhead lights, only 3 lampsThe fireplace in the living room does not work at allThe light over the kitchen sink does not workRemote in bedroom by the kitchen had no batteries so the guest in that room had no television Master bedroom has a tv but no where to plug it in and no batteries for the remote so again we could not use this at allBedroom with 2 beds also has a tv that you cannot turn on. Needs extension cord to plug in and no batteries in the remoteThe grill has no propane in the tank No Hangers in the whole house

Wish we stayed longer
Home was clean, spacious and beautifully updated with modern rustic vibes. Lots of entertainment for everyone! The kids loved all the games, rock wall and hot tub. Definitely pick this home for a relaxing getaway in the mountains-we all wished we could've stayed longer.
