4/10 Poor

Liked: Cleanliness, location
Disliked: Listing accuracy
roomy, good location but PROBLEMS
The Good:
Convenient location. ATTACHED GARAGE SPACE on entry level. Great view of lake and mountains. Very clean. 3 full bathrooms. King bed in main suite, decent quality beds (but crap linens). Fairly well equipped. Good closet space. Roomy shared space
The Bad:
This place is COMPLICATED! You MUST follow ALL the instructions to be habitable. We arrived at 3am, instructions were scattered, had to search for them. Radiant heat is slow, we spent a cold then hot week trying to use it. DO NOT TURN THE HEAT UP TOO HIGH, heat builds up and WON'T COOL DOWN for a very long time. Upstairs thermostat (about 30 years old) is apparently broken. Excess dry heat caused sinus infections.
The windows and doors are drafty. TV remotes don’t work. TV sound bar won’t work. Cheezy cabinets with broken hinges. Cheap soft furniture (the stuff you actually sit on). IMO cheezy, overly thematic dated decor. Yard sale pots, pans & utensils. Questionable pillows, old, cheap linens. 3rd bedroom smells funny. Worn out area rugs. Filthy garage. Garage remote (which we had to hunt for) barely works (needs battery?).
The Ugly:
DO NOT USE THE JACUZZI TUB! THE JETS DON’T WORK AND THERE IS NOT ENOUGH HOT WATER - A freezing finish! This made us angry and prompted this detailed review.
Message to owner:
Spend a little time and money on and you could have a gem. INSTALL MODERN PROGRAMMABLE THERMOSTATS AND SET THEM TO MAKE THIS PLACE COMFORTABLE. Trade the jacuzzi for a steam spa.
