This is a gorgeous property. Thoughtfully appointed with every possible convenience for an enjoyable stay. Rooms are spacious, (we were in the upper master bedroom only), our bed was comfortable with nice deck off the master suite.
Property was clean, kitchen with everything needed to make wonderful meals. Trips to the store only for perishables was a bonus for us, most everything else was on hand !
Washer and dryer very handy. (All supplies for washing provided ! Nice!)
Views of lake from kitchen, living room, and family room were spectacular. Nice spacious deck on main floor with BBQ. Fireplace for duraflame / or similar logs only, but made grand room cozy.
Permanent? 10+ foot lit tree in corner is a nice touch and greatly appreciated since we were there for Xmas!
Host Michael was AMAZING. He responded promptly to all our questions and concerns and went out of his way to make our stay enjoyable.
All good….but now for the significant issues that could raise some concerns depending on time of year and general health of the renters of this home - and the reason I rated 4 out of 5 stars.
This property sits high on a hill that does not allow for parking close to the unit. This does not have to be an issue for many people, but for someone who is older, especially in the winter, there are some issues with getting everything unpacked, and into the unit. Besides being on a hill and hiking up each time you need to get back-and-forth to your car- It is also on the second floor with two flights of stairs to get into the unit.
Fortunately, the property provides for access for a short time so that you may unload your car and they have a moveable stair chair that came in very handy when we were schlepping our bags up to the unit.
Particularly in the cold, winter months, with black ice there needs to be an awareness of being very careful with navigating outside around the property, again, particularly for someone a little older that’s not that steady on their feet. Add to this the fact that this property is well over 7000 feet, altitude is definitely, another potential issue. In conclusion…I think in all, this is a beautiful property and the owners and host certainly went out of their way to try and make our stay as wonderful as possible - but I think it is important for anyone considering staying here that they be aware of these issues/ with a combination of: altitude, several flights of stairs, and icy conditions.
