  : The location was very easy to get to the freeway and Vail skiing villages. The house was clean and each room of the house has their own temperature control. The kitchen was well-equipped and there was plenty of soaps and towels in each bathroom. The beds were also comfortable and the pillows were nice and fluffy.
  : The house was very much like staying in a time capsule of grandma's house in the 80's, which felt charming and dated at the same time. There was carpet in the upstairs bathroom, and the carpet was soaking wet at the base of the ladder to the bunk beds. The water heater did not allow for multiple people showering back to back, so for our family of four we had two people shower in the morning and two people shower at night. Since the house states that it sleeps 10, I'm not sure how that would work with showering! The dryer could only handle very small loads, so if you're planning on doing laundry, plan on doing a load a day to keep the load small. The driveway needed constant shoveling as it was extremely steep, but the shovels the property had work very well. There are two garage parking spots, but they are single bays and very tight. The garage also had multiple bags of stinky garbage from the previous renter, which wasn't ideal. The garage code didn't work for us, but the front door lockbox was easy to figure out.
