Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here and we'd have no problem renting the home again. Leadville is a wonderful, little town (try High Mountain Pies for some delicious food)! The house was close to everything and perfect for the 7 of us. The sidewalk was shoveled when we arrived and the house was warm and ready for our arrival. We generally had everything we needed while there - although we spent most of our days out skiing at Cooper. The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms & kitchen updated. Nice selection of movies, puzzles, and games (although the ones we played were missing pieces).
A few items of note:
(1) Communication is quick but strange. I would get texts and emails with conflicting info that made things confusing at times. "Thank you for checking out." "Please remember to check out." Those types of things. There was also no place with general info about the home. I've never stayed in a place that didn't have a binder or something similar with all the details you might wonder about - wifi, thermostats, check out process, access, local recommendations, location of tp, towels, blankets, house rules, etc. Some of that information was located on an app they use but not much and as I was the only one that downloaded the app, everyone in the house had to constantly ask for info that would be nice to have readily available. A quick and easy fix that would make a big difference!
(2) There were some safety issues that we let the owner/management company know about. Both were electrical in nature so I hope they make them a priority to get fixed. The light switch upstairs would shock my kids every time they turned it on and the lamp in the room with the queen bed has clearly been broken and taped back together. If you leave it on for any length of time, it starts to smell like burning.
(3) I have some questions about the cleaning. There was leftover food from previous guests in the fridge, freezer, and cabinets. I don't know if those areas are cleaned after guests leave. Also, there was a decent amount of pet hair in the house. I know this is a pet friendly home so that is to be expected but it seemed like too much.
Again, the items listed above are not much of a big deal and wouldn't hinder us from staying here if we return to Leadville. I imagine some of these issues will be address quickly. Still, I know that I always appreciate a thorough and honest review of a home so I know what I'm renting.
