Each TV has its own assigned remote so there's no hunting around. WiFi is available throughout the home, with the router located in the loft.
Laundry
A full-size washer and dryer are available in the home - a genuine convenience for longer stays or families traveling with little ones.
Outdoor
Step outside to find multiple ways to enjoy the mountain air. Fire up the propane grill for dinner, gather around the wood-burning fire pit on the lower patio as the stars come out, or ease into the hot tub and let the day melt away.

Vacasa handled the rental and the communication was horrible. I needed to request a day early check in and out. Merely moving dates, was told repeatedly they were checking into that possibility and would get back to me. They never got back to me and when I arrived they said I could check in at that time but for additional fees. The townhouse is lovely and the owners have the kitchen very well stocked. My complaint is completely with the rental management company. The house was surface cleaned but lots of spiderwebs and spiders as well.

I've never written a critical review before, but I feel like we need to represent our experience accurately, because I would not want to recommend that others have a similar one. The house is large and spacious and the view is really spectacular. If the following things hadn't happened, it would have been a lovely place to stay, but unfortunately they did happen. Our stay was from a Sun to Thurs in mid-August 2026. We heard from the host that the cleaning people were running late and the house would be ready around 5:30 (rather than 4:00). We arrived at 6:15 and waited while they finished up around 6:30. They left a bunch of full garbage bags and pizza boxes in front of the house and said somebody would pick them up "soon." That garbage stayed in front of the house for three nights. By Tues morning, the trash was open and strewn on the sidewalk. The air conditioning was broken. We managed to get it started once and we had one day with air conditioning. The host compensated us 160 for 3/4 of our stay in mid-august not having air. The dryer was broken. There was no talk of fixing it. The hosts were responsive and empathetic, but just...didn't deliver on anything. A person from their "tech team" never showed to look at the air conditioning. It took their "maintenance team" 60 hours to remove the garbage in front of the house. No talk of repearing the dryer at all. We would not consider renting this house again, or renting from these hosts ever again.

Response from VrboOwner on 10 Sept 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the spacious home and spectacular view.
We do want to clarify that our team was responsive to your concerns throughout the stay and worked to address each issue that was brought to our attention. While there were some unexpected inconveniences, we did not ignore them or leave you without assistance. Our team communicated with you, coordinated with our maintenance and support teams, and worked through the concerns during your reservation.
Regarding the A/C, we took the issue seriously and worked with you to get the situation addressed. We also provided $160 in compensation as a goodwill gesture for the inconvenience. Our goal was to make sure your concerns were heard and that reasonable solutions were provided during your stay.
We’re disappointed that the experience was ultimately viewed so negatively, particularly given how responsive our team was and the efforts made to fulfill your requests while you were here. We appreciate the feedback and will continue working to improve the guest experience.
