The good:
The house location and size was perfect for a large family or multiple families. There are only four bedrooms, but each bedroom had multiple beds. So several families with small children would easily be accommodated. With the new Covid ordinance, restricting occupancy to six, our group of five had ample space.
The hot tub was well appreciated after skiing. The kitchen was well stocked for our group of five. But, if you had a large group I think you could easily run short on plates, cups and silverware. There were great seating arrangements, which made movie watching or game-playing very comfortable. The garage was heated, which was great when coming in or going out from a snowy day at the slopes.
The not-so-good:
When we arrived, the house was set at 60 degrees. It was 15 degrees outside! We arrived around 6pm and with the radiant floor heating in the house, we were freezing most of the evening. The bedroom above the garage was at 57° at bedtime. It would’ve been nice if the management company could’ve turn the heat on before our arrival. Radiant flooring takes a long time to get heated. But, once heated we were toasty the rest of the stay.
The hot tub was cloudy when we arrived, so we called for service.. unfortunately it was on a Sunday. We went out skiing on Monday only to return to a 50° hot tub. While we were skiing they had to come to drain and clean the hot tub but didn’t leave a note or let us know. So our first two days were without a usable hot tub, again something the property management should’ve had ready when we arrived.
The property could use some cleanup and repair. Upon arrival I sent a photo of the oven because the front was broken off and the the bake button was broke. The upstairs balcony railing was very loose, and if I had small kids I would be worried about their safety. The towels and bedding‘s were clean but it didn’t look like the floors had been scrubbed or any handles on cabinets had been wiped down. There were a lot of grimy surfaces. Carpets were very worn. I expected it to be cleaner, especially during Covid time when extra precautions should be taken.
Overall, I think the house is a great location and a great size and could be a lovely place to rent. I think the owner should look into a new management company. They did not seem to pay attention to detail and we’re very difficult to get a hold of when needed. If it was my rental property I would not be happy with the service they provide.
