The property was awesome. It was decorated beautifully in the southwest style.We arrived after dark, making it difficult for us to see house numbers, street signs, and even the signs for the office to get our keys. I would suggest more detailed driving instructions for locating the office and the property. One might also need to be aware of what a coyote fence is, as instructions stated just beyond the “ coyote fence”. We are from the North!!!But overall, we loved our visit, the home was comfortable, well equipped, lovely

This property was perfect for our stay. The house was not only adorable and stylish but was fully equipped with everything you could ever need. In addition, the location was 5 minutes from everything. We were there to go skiing and the 30 minute car ride up and down the mountain was super easy and enjoyable !

Loved it - location, decor, amenities.One (minor) complaint: the communication interface between the original listing site to VRBO to the property management agency was kludgy. Use of "guest portal" omitted the most important thing: how to communicate with the property management company.This was resolved when we checked in - The management staff just gave us their phone # for call or text. They were responsive when we did reach out about a small thing.
