Beautiful and tucked away

Our stay at Thunder Ridge was incredible! The property was very spacious and easily accommodated our group of ten, providing plenty of room for everyone to relax and enjoy. Everything was clean upon arrival, and we appreciated how well-stocked the kitchen was with cookware, dishes, and extra essentials that made our stay even more comfortable.The views were breathtaking, especially from the hot tub, where we could take in the mountain scenery. The secluded location made it feel like a true retreat, offering the perfect balance of relaxation and privacy. If you're looking for a peaceful getaway with amazing views and all the comforts of home, Thunder Ridge is the place to be. We can’t wait to come back!

Family vacation

Those were incredible days. We highly recommend. The house is very spacious and the view is spectacular. The kids loved the experience of staying in the hot tub facing to the mountain. I hope I can come back soon. Thank you Vacasa for the amazing work. The house was extremely clean

Perfect Getaway

If you are looking to enjoy some quality time with friends/family, this place is excellent! We stayed for a weekend bachelor/bachelorette party with 14 people. Beautiful views, near trails (check out the falls near by), plenty of things to do while there, even for those who don’t ski! We played pong, pool, karaoked, enjoyed the hot tub even spent some time near the fire. All in all a great place to book!

This house was fantastic! We are used to staying slopeside but this house made it worth it to not be slopeside. An Amazing kitchen, living area loved that we could all be together and plenty of room for reverse charades!

Lots of space!

Overall we had a great stay at Thunder Ridge. There was a lot of space for 7 of us and we loved the layout of the house. It was clean and had everything we needed. Only reason we wouldn't give 5 stars is that there were a few lights and tvs that weren't working properly, and the road was in VERY rough shape. It felt like maybe the house just needed a little bit more TLC.

Great spot for the entire family

The house offered everything it said it did and more. Working with Vacasa was a great experience, I had a few questions when first arriving which they got in touch with me in a very timely manner. House has great hot tub, game room and area in kitchen and living room which our large group gathered for meals and drinks. View was amazing. We had a good amount of snow and they did an amazing job with blowing. We hope to get back soon.

ReviewBeautiful, comfortable spacious house in nature at the end of long uphill unpaved driveway. We stayed in August as a family of seven (and two dogs) and appreciated the space. The most comfortable (and firm) bed is in the masters bedroom on the ground floor. House is not accessible to wheelchairs at all.Impeccable sheets and numerous bath and hot tub towels were provided, as well as paper towels, cleaning products and sponges for the kitchen, dishwasher and washing machine. Shampoo, conditioner and shower gel as well as toilet paper were also provided, but not a single tissue: we had to buy a box ourselves. Now, everything in the other reviews about the living and dining room being so hot in summer is true, as there is no central AC (only single room units in each bedroom), then the living room ceiling fan apparently still does not work, and there are no curtains or blinds there. In the afternoon, we had to block dining room windows with boards of isolating material found in a basement closet, and living room bay windows with quilts, while running two standing fans outside upstairs bedroom doors trying to blow the air into the hallway above the living room.Then we had an issue with the electric « smart » lock, which died (batteries did) on the second day, locking everyone out except one person who was luckily napping inside and let the rest in. We spent hours on the phone with various Vacasa staff who did their best, but were long to persuade that the lock had actua

The pictures of this rental were nothing like what i was shown, it was unsafe for my children, I contacted the Vacasa company and nobody got back to me about any of the conditions I walked into and I even sent them photos showing I how horrible and deceiving the rental was.

Just okay

Beautiful view and a nice sized home. I see the listing has been updated now, but it did not comfortably fit 16 when the max occupancy was listed at 18. There is missing floorboard in the kitchen where they just used tape to highlight the missing plank. The downstairs bedroom is supposed to sleep 8 and it is inhabitable - smells like the inside of a dirty ski boot. Even with airflow, there is no getting rid of the smell. Kitchen only supplies 4 coffee mugs so good luck in the morning if you have a large crew and all are coffee drinkers. Kitchen utensils are sparce. But, overall, we did fine. Plenty of pots and pans, beautiful view. Hot tub was great and clean. I would recommend this home for a group no larger than 8 unless you’re okay to sleep on couches.

New Years Eve Ski Getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed this property! We had family and a few friends stay for a ski week between Christmas and New Year's. Mother Nature didn't really cooperate in terms of the skiing, but the location was great as there was plenty of room for folks to spread out to read, do jigsaw puzzles, paint or play pool and ping pong in the basement. My son even played the piano spontaneously a few times! The beds and pillows are super comfortable which is a big factor in our enjoyment in a place so we were happy about that. We also enjoyed the hot tub on some gray and misty days! The living room furniture was a bit worn but super comfy and cozy around a nice gas fire. The only thoughts for improvement I might share with the owners is that the kitchen pots/pans are quite bad. The non-stick pans are so scraped up that the coating is peeling off -- which is both unhealthy as well as ineffective. There are some areas that need painting that look like they were patched and haven't been finished so it would be nice if those little touches were painted given the price point. A few more kid sized glasses would be lovely -- but there were plenty of wine/ martini glasses and coffee mugs! ;-). But those were very minor points and didn't interfere with our enjoyment of our vacation at all. We would definitely stay there again!

Worn and and in need of attention

The house is worn and and in dire need of some TLC from it's owner. While the home is huge with big rooms the furnishings are worn. The family room couch was old/worn with equally worn/old/smelly pillows. The kitchen pots and pans were old/rusty and put away dirty. Glassware was old plastic. There was broken stereo. The overhead fan light in the family room didn't work so we could barely see each other when the sun went down. The fireplace didn't work. We couldn't use the ping pong table or the pool table because the ping pong paddles were broken and there were no chalk points at the end of the pool sticks and the pool table needs new felt. The rugs were horribly stained. The posted view is from the fire pit which is below the house. The view from the house blocked by tall trees and no view of the mountains but the view is nice. I wished I had paid attention to some of the reviews as I thought the people writing the reviews were just being "picky" rather than "truthful". This home is in dire need of some TLC from the owner before renting to another unsuspecting vacationing family.

Fall foliage trip

Property looked exactly as advertised in photos, really great. The view from the deck and dining area was even better than expected. The mattress on at least one bed was a bit caved in, and the futon was in pretty rough shape, but that wasn't a big problem for us. Everything else was great.

Great location but needs a little work

Property was as advertised with a great location, beautiful views, and plenty of room for 15 adults and kids. The problem was with the maintenance of the property. Loaded the dishwasher and got up the next morning to water on the floor. Guess we should have noticed the flooring in front of the dishwasher had been replaced. Took out the dishes and found mold on the silverware rack and side of dishwasher (maybe a drainage problem). The master bathroom tub was also a problem. First time we tried to use the shower the faucet handle would just spin around, no water. We contacted Vacasa (property manager) and got a response in 24 hours, but the house instructions had no valid contact numbers. We did talk to the cleaning lady and she said they were aware of the problems and thought they were waiting on parts. Would have been nice to know ahead of time and been better prepared. The property would have rated 5 stars if we hadn't run into these issues. I would recommend that you verify the house has been fixed before booking, but it looks like a great location for fall foliage and winter skiing. We'd definitely recommend it for summer activities.
