We spent 4 days here for a girls trip with 5 ladies, most in their mid-50's to mid-60's. The house worked fine for us, but it wouldn't be our first choice if we return.
Pros:
- Communication with property management was friendly and responsive.
- The house has lots of space! Great for a large group to be able to spread out or have some privacy.
- House appeared well-cleaned and stocked with the basics.
- Beds reasonably comfortable.
- Views are beautiful!
Cons:
- The home is older and in need of a spiffing up and repairs. Most are minor, but there are some windows and doors that don't lock. We could not get the lockbox to work properly. We got the key out, but could never close it back. Our group left a pretty long list of repairs needed on the questionnaire.
- The house is stocked with kind of the bare minimum. There is soap and toilet paper, towels and washcloths. No shampoo or other toiletries. I didn't see a hair dryer anywhere, but there may have been one in another bath. There is an iron and ironing board. I couldn't find extra linens and there were ziplocs with a few dishwashing pods and laundry detergent pods. I think we used all of both and were only there a few days. Lots of coffee equipment. There is a keurig, a regular drip pot, an electric grinder, and a French press. There wasn't much for other kitchen equipment, though. We were definitely missing our handheld mixer to make muffins, brownies, etc. There are lots of dishes and plenty of silverware.
- The biggest issue we had with the house was the stairs. There is no way to enter the house without descending at least a full flight of stairs. Inside, the house is 3 levels with only one bedroom on the main floor. This was a challenge in our group as every single person in our party has arthritis. We expected some stairs, but really wish we had known about the ones outside and that there was no place to enter without stairs.
- The house is sloping down the mountain. We noticed it as soon as we entered and thought we were losing our minds. But we checked several times and there is no question: the house isn't level. There is a distinctive sloping toward the rear of the house. On the upper floor, the slope prevents the doors from remaining open and the slope is visible in the kitchen table. I'm sure the house is probably stable, but it was a little unnerving.
- Parking is on a pretty steep incline, but there is room for 3 cars, maybe 4. You must be comfortable driving very steep roads.
