The views and serenity of the Aspen Lakehouse is it's best feature. Our family of 9 enjoyed the wrap around deck, watching the wildlife, fishing at the Resevoir, and the peace and quiet. Check-in was a bit of a struggle as the code for the lockbox was only available on the VRBO website and there is zero cell service, so recommend saving that info ahead of time. The house is a good 20 min drive to the closest town/store, so when there was no ice or trays upon arrival, it was a bit inconvenient to drive and get some. We had some issues with not enough toilet paper, bath towels, paper towels, no cleaning supplies for 9 people for 5 nights, so we had to purchase those items. We had some issues like lights not working and the washing machine draining out on the floor. Our biggest issue was the house was not very clean. Cobwebs throughout, dusty decor/shelves/floral, stained carpet, dirty bedding (just the decorative bedding cover/pillow cases), kitchen towels/potholders stained/dirty, used items in bathroom drawers, trash under beds and behind bedside tables, dirty/fingerprints on walls/doors/light switches, hair in sinks/drawers. As vacation rental owners ourself we were not happy. We reached out to Carolyn & Walter and they were very nice about our concerns, had us send pictures, expressed that they live out of state and were not aware of these issues and would have it corrected for the next guests. Still had a great time and made lots of amazing memories!
