The host was very communicative both via VRBO and via text when we had a question. We chose the property because he allowed us to bring our small dogs, which many other properties wouldn't allow. The property was easy to access and in a great location in the Angel Fire Resort area. We can't speak to ease of accessing ski lifts as we came during the summer. Very close to the local grocery store and to the resort restaurants. The photos on the listing don't do the place justice. The log structure is very secure and kept the inside cool during the day. The porch was great to sit and enjoy the breeze. We didn't cook while we were there (we ate with friends at their place) but the kitchen seemed to have the necessary accessories, though you need to bring all your own food items (like oil, salt etc) and drinking water, as expected. The flooring is mostly carpet, would be great if they swapped that out for solid flooring (upstairs bath has carpet), especially given they allow dogs. The bunk beds upstairs are neat, though the top doesn't have railings so not suitable for young children. The wifi worked great. This place sleeps at least 8 people comfortably, perfect for large groups. Would also recommend more lighting outside as it was quite dark taking dogs out after sundown. Bring a strong flashlight if you plan to walk around after dark. Washer / dryer in unit was awesome to have for a week long stay. Thanks for hosting us!
