A Gorgeous View

We stayed during the middle of the winter - but the view impressed no less. The owner was very responsive. There is no wifi, but TMobile and Cricket connected nicely for what we needed during our stay. Overall, a comfortable stay after a long day of snowboarding.

WOW! What a View!

The house was awesome. It will be even better when the BIG bathroom in the lower lever is installed. But it worked great for our extended family of 10. Ages 2-85.My only issue is the check in/out instructions are not available more than 24 hrs. out. I'm a planned so I like to know things. But it all worked our well. WE also lost a ring and they found it and shipped it to us!
