Amazing!
A million dollar property that is a true ski in/out place! Our party of 9 had plenty of room with all the amenities needed. The house is further up the mountain so a car is needed to hit the town for groceries, drinks, and dinner. We made all our meals at the house and had everting needed, including a real fireplace and hot tub to top off a wonderful day of skiing.

Great location, easy check in process, everything we needed was in the kitchen. Only suggestion would be that they consider providing a small cooler. we had to buy a styrofoam one for our trips into yellowstone park, which was fine, but im sure other guests would benefit from it as well.
