We stayed at this property to in Dec 2022 to make daily ski trips to Kirkwood. Worked out really well for us. Hosts were very cooperative and responsive. Would definitely stay there again.

Disliked: Listing accuracy
Affordable and well used
Great location for a family, but feels more like you're staying in a friend's house rather than a VRBO. Lots of personal belonging, no where to put cloths or food away as closets, dressers and pantry are full. Checkout procedures are difficult, would much rather pay more to not have to clean, launder towels and bedding. Now, the price does make-up for some of this. If your looking for a no frills cheap place to stay this a great deal.

Alex - We recently began renting our family vacation home occasionally and appreciate your comments. We've cleared out closet/cabinet space and modified checkout procedures. Thanks for your feedback!
We had a fantastic weekend getaway. The house was comfortable, the views fantastic and our host most welcoming! The check in process was a breeze. Thanks so much for a great stay!
