The positives were;
The space (bedrooms and baths) was great.
The location was perfect with the bus stop to the Steamboat ski area right at the end of the driveway.
The kitchen and living room with the fireplace was nice.
On the other hand the floors in the living room and kitchen (and generally throughout the house) were FILTHY. Our socks and feet were black with dirt after walking around. Each night I had to wash my son’s feet before bed, turning the tub floor black. Really gross. We tried to sweep but the floors needed a proper mopping. GROSS.
..,this makes you question the cleanliness of the rugs…?
The kitchen was poorly equipped if you wanted to cook a family meal. All the kitchen knives were dull. The pots were second rate at best. The fridge had a really nice built in water pitcher, yet there was no filter! The water kettle’s handle was broken off making it unusable. There was one roll of paper towels and for the week that was not enough, especially considering there were not napkins provided (paper or cloth). If you have more than six people there are not enough dinning chairs at the table (the house is set to sleep eight).
The master bath did not have shampoo and there were no extra towels.
Overall it’s a great ski house, but these little things made it a place I would really second guess renting again. For the the price paid and description, you expect a more elevated experience. For all the fees paid on top of the nightly rate, you should get more.
