The short version is the house, ski slope access, and amenities are fantastic. We spent a full week at the house with 8 people and had a magnificent experience.
Location:
There are two facets to this all-important aspect of real estate. First, this is absolutely a ski-in/ski-out house. You come 2/3 of the way down ‘Heading Home’ and you can keep your skis on all the way to the driveway. You have a short 3-minute walk (in snow boots) to get on the slope. For us this was imperative as it allowed our kids to come and go as they pleased on the slopes. They loved it (and as parents who ferry our kids all over town we did as well!) The second facet is the actual location of the house on the mountain and getting up and down the roads in your vehicle. DO NOT stay in this house without an AWD or 4WD vehicle. You are putting yourself at risk if you ignore the recommendations of property management. The roads are not paved, and they are covered in snow, slush, and mud. The plows run all the way to the house but this in no way negates the need for a capable vehicle.
The House:
The pictures are a fair representation of the house. It is new construction and very beautiful inside and out. The house comfortably sleeps 10 as advertised. Our kids stayed downstairs, and it gave them ample freedom to do their own thing. There is a large flat screen downstairs and another upstairs. In terms of cookware, fridge space, microwave, ovens, pots & pans, knives, spatulas, etc., there was everything we needed to feed 8+ people for a week. The beds were comfortable. Hot water was immediately available and I don’t recall anyone having to take a cold shower. (Suspect it may have a tankless heater?) When you enter the garage from the driveway you’ll be greeted by ample racks for your gear and multiple hooks for your clothing. But you will absolutely know you have booked a first-class facility when you see the glove/shoe/hat warmers that line the entryway. There are 6-8 warmers that you can set a timer to blow hot air to dry and warm your gear after hours on the slopes. (This was undoubtedly one of the best amenities in my opinion.) The Wifi was excellent with plenty of bandwidth.
Property management was incredibly responsive and very friendly both before and during our stay. We were able to communicate with them via text and email.
While this house is certainly on the higher end of the price band, we left convinced we made the right choice for Spring Break 2023.
