Overall, the house worked for our stay as we connected with family who lived in the WY/CO area for the weekend, but have a few recommendations based on our experience. The rules were excessive, with some of them repeated multiple times, each ending with a statement if you don't comply, we will take your full deposit. Some of the rules came through email and others were written on a one page "welcome" letter inside the house. We understand the need for house rules, and appreciate knowing the expectations, but this started the stay in an uncomfortable manner and it was difficult to settle in and enjoy our visit worrying that we were going to owe a deposit at the end. It would be helpful to have the complete set of rules including the check out instructions printed within the house, so everyone staying could read them instead of reading through multiple emails to put them all together. We also expected the house to be better equipped. For instance, we had to buy some basic amenities such as toilet paper and soap (owner suggested where to look, but no luck finding any). It would have been nice to have more glassware to choose from such as taller/pint size glasses and wine glasses. Several of the smaller plates had pretty good chunks out of them. Lastly, we would recommend new bed pillows with pillow protectors, and new mattress covers as well, discovering the condition of these items at the end of the stay due to having to strip our beds per check-out instructions.
