We stayed at the "Blue Bird Beauty" with wife and kids for one night around Christmas 2022. We had a nice stay complete with a nice wood fire in the evening. The house itself is very comfortable and functional with a newly remodeled kitchen. The location is absolutely perfect and cannot be beat if you are planning to go to Snow Valley 8 min down the road. During our stay, I had a question on how to adjust the heat and how to work the fireplace. Both questions were answered by Vacasa over the phone in ~30 min, which is great during a bank holiday in the US.
Reasons for not rating 5 stars below:
-The listing shows "No A/C and no partial A/C". I was quite stunned was I saw that after booking and pass the cancellation deadline. Since I was renting a cabin in the mountain in December and planning to spend the night with kids with freezing temperature, I contacted Vacasa. They told me that the house had no A/C, and no heater. They said that it did have a fireplace. I had to take a long look at the pictures, to see the air vents, and contacted vacasa again. They told me that the house had forced air and that it will circulate the air between second floor and first floor where the fireplace is located. After stressing for one day, packing extra warm PJs for the kids and brining extra blankets, we were relieved to see that the house does have heating through central air (thermostat located next to mirror in living room). We ended up spending a warm night, but not before a lot of stress due to false information.
