overall, quite good but house needs some updating, especially lower level bathroom. Microwave in an extremely awkward location. Internet very poor. Cell service not good so the house should have a land line installed for sure. Location extremely convenient to alpine meadows ski resort.

Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback. You are correct, this home is all about location! Internet in Alpine Meadows can be slow, especially during peak weekends such as the weekend you were here, and during storms.
Very modern, clean house in a great location close to squaw valley. House was well stocked.
The small issues were:
WIFI never worked during our entire stay.
Fireplace doesn’t work. And the 2 twin beds have very bad mattresses & very uncomfortable. The 2 King & 2 queen beds were great!
House is in great shape & situated in a beautiful area. We had a great stay. Thank you.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are sorry to hear that you had issues with the wifi and fireplace. Reading notes from this reservation, I see that we really tried to work the problem for you during your stay. I am still happy to hear that you were able to enjoy yourselves. Please come again!
We recently stayed at the unit with 3 other couples. It was the perfect spot as each room has at least a queen size bed. The kitchen/living area is a great size and was perfect for entertaining and playing games. The house is also setup perfectly for children as each room has beds/cribs for kids. Plenty of cooking amenities. Two sinks, full size fridge and mini fridge. Hot tub get super hot and works awesome! Everything was great. Would definitely stay there again.

Reviewer Comments:
Dear Owner, We enjoyed your lovely rental house very much. It was clean and comfortable, and the queen beds/bedding are really comfortable. The kitchen is great for cooking, and the living area is wonderful for hanging out in. Love the deck and BBQ grill too. A few friendly notes for feedback: 1. We wish there was a window covering that went up and down in the upstairs master bedroom to allow for privacy and room darkening. 2. It would also be nice if one half of the closet was not locked in all 3 upstairs bedrooms. 3. The downstairs master bedroom had a bit of a musty smell in the bathroom. 4. Warning: one day we left the house with the coffee maker off and emptied of water but plugged in, and many hours later when we returned the coffee maker had turned itself on. We recommend replacing the coffee maker to avoid a potential fire hazard. Sincerely - Happy guests

I read some of the earlier reviews that the pictures don't give justice to this place and that review was absolutely correct. This house is much more beautiful than the pictures on the website. We had a wonderful time. This home is very kid friendly and enough things to do within the house. I would say, this is perfect for a group with kids.

Lovely house and location. You should provide a feedback page on site to fill out. Suggestions for improvement: the master bedroom does not have any window shades on the large sliding door, fix window screen in left loft window, replace oven door (it doesn't work properly), replace le crueset baking dish (it is cracked), make sure sheets are changed even if previous guests did not strip bed (the sheets in both twin beds were not clean), vacuum if it has been a while since house last used (there were two dead bees in master floor (you can get stung by dead bees if you step on them without shoes on), improve kitchen accessories (not enough glass food storage containers, pots that aren't scratched). Thanks

This is a beautiful warm and comfortable home. The pictures don't do this home justice as it is much larger than it looks in the photographs and far more comfortable. Unfortunately when we were there a snowstorm came in that was so severe we had to leave the property. The only two complaints are the fire place and the stove, neither of which worked well or at all.
Response from VrboOwner on 29 Mar 2020
Thank you for taking the time to review this home. I'm so sorry to hear you had issues with the stove and fireplace. We've tested both and they are working well. For the reference of future renters, we are available daily to assist with any issues that may arise.

Everything top notch and the images describe it well. I'd go again! Just don't be fooled by the "internet is not that fast" description. Imagine your 1995 dial up modem, then divide the speed by 5 and add a disconnect every 30 seconds. You might be able to receive or send an email, but not load any website.
