Great location! Cute little apartment.

Love the location and it had all we needed. It was warm inside even with the windows open and the shower is surrounded by shower curtains that make showering interesting and the shower head is super low but it worked. 😊

Perfect Tranquil Get-away

Google does not reflex the real location of the property. I wished the door key would be simpler. All in all, perfect spot to stay at for hikers or couples wanting a romantic weekend. Loved the fact their are mountain trails walking distance.

Great Little Gem!

Check-in was a bit rocky, but to Vacasa’s credit they did, eventually, make it right. The property itself was wonderful! Shower and mirror are comically short because of the slope of the roof above the garage, but they made a great design adapting what they had to work with. The whole place was designed very cute. Some dusty cobwebs on the ceiling tell me it is low season and may have been awhile since some of that deep cleaning was done. Overall, a lovely spot, well furnished, cozy, warm, and well-lit! Would definitely recommend.

We were not able to use the provided code to unlock the door upon arrival. Had to text Vacasa support to get the code for the lockbox. The oversize tub was not big enough for two people. Bed was too hard for me, but perfect for my girlfriend. Local town does not appear to be up and running for the tourist season yet, could not even get coffee. The local golf course is a GEM, HIGHLY recommend!

Property as expected, bad communication with property manager.

When we arrived we could not find the driveway to the house, because even after getting over 6” of snow the previous day they had not plowed the driveway. When I reached out to the property manager to let them know that they should send a plow, they responded with “ I apoligize for the snow situation, but we can not handle the weather, if tomorrow we can park there it is okay.” While I understand that they do not control the weather, my expectation is that if you rent a home in the mountains you should expect to get snow in January and have a plan in place for clearing it while guests are staying. For our entire stay they did not clear the driveway.

Although we wound up going to the property next door, slight mishap, the place was incredible. I'd stay again anytime. The rustic countryness was perfect for a weekend getaway. Thank you for an amazing two days.
