Love to hear that you had an awesome time with us, Allison! It’s great to hear that the home, location, and amenities all came together for a great vacation experience. Thanks for the review and please come see us again soon! Madison, Railey Vacations
House was beautiful and well appointed. Very close to a ski lift which was a real plus! Only issue was the lower level fireplace was not working, so it was chilly while enjoying the pool table.

We're glad to hear that you found the house to be beautiful and well-appointed and that the proximity to the ski lift was a real advantage. We regret to hear that the lower-level fireplace was not functioning during your stay, and will be sure to address this with our maintenance staff. We appreciate your feedback Brenda, and we will work to address this issue to ensure a more comfortable experience for future guests. Madison, Railey Vacations
The location of the home, the cleanliness and the comfort were all five stars. The only issue we had was when we went to check out there were no trash receptacles at the end of the driveway. We walked around the property and still did not find bear proof trash containers. Otherwise we had a wonderful stay.
