Nice Rental But A Few Problems
Overall, this is a nice place to stay. It is very close to the ski lifts, so if you are renting a place to stay while skiing, it is very convenient. It was great for us (a couple), but would be a bit crowded for more than 2. The unit is a bit old, and there were scratches on several doors, apparently from a dog. When we arrived, there was a large snow berm blocking access to the front door, that we had to climb over to get inside. I think this would have been a problem for anyone with mobility issues. As it had not snowed in several days, this is something that should have been addressed prior to our arrival. Someone showed up late that night and shoveled a path over the snow berm. I didn’t see a shovel anywhere that we might have used. The unit has a fire place, but you need to bring your own wood, kindling and fire starter supplies. There was no corkscrew, which most rental units typically supply. Finally, a burned out light in the bedroom meant that it was very dim in that room.

As advertised
Walking distance to the chair, reasonable bed, couch is not as pictured it’s longer and sleep able. The path along the building to the entrance is difficult to navigate (I’m PNW local I get snow) and needs to be cleared to allow access to the front door.

Nice place, poor Vacasa service
The place was cute, great location, and allowed dogs which was awesome. Vacasa never sent us the check in instructions, we arrived on time for check in at 4 and then spent 45mins calling every Vacasa number we were given and that we could find online and waited on hold with no indication anyone was ever going to answer. Finally someone did and sent the info, 45mins later, so that was very lame. The walkway wasn’t shoveled and clearly hadn’t been for a long time and we couldn’t find the way in. There were crumbs all over the couch. The internet didn’t work which meant the TV didnt work either. We feel like we got half of the stay we were hoping for out of our night there.

cozy place to stay
It’s close to the resort, a coffee shop and just a wonderful neighborhood to walk around. It has he basics of what you’d need. The blinds are a bit funky to work, and the curtains are sheer. It would have been nice to have non-sheer curtains. But, it isn’t a busy neighborhood so you aren’t seeing a ton of people. Great selection of board games too!
