We had to leave this house early because we were working from ‘home’ and the internet was too poor for video conferencing, and too poor even to watch tv without frequent buffering. There were also periods where it didn’t work at all, despite perfect weather & reboots etc. We did a lot of research & speed tests, and over the course of a week, it just didn’t live up to the description in the posting nor the conversations we had with Vacasa before arriving. The saving grace is that Vacasa worked with us (to some degree) when we had to leave a whole week early. The other big issue with the house is that there is no front step to the one and only entrance. It is a GIANT step up onto the porch - literally higher than my knee. And upon arrival I had to use my axe to chip away the ice to even reach that big step. If you have mobility issues, this place is an absolute no-go. At least at the time of this review.
Final beef - there was no shovel & no ash bin, and even after requesting it ASAP upon arrival & being told they’d bring us one, neither arrived during the week we were there. A bummer. There’s definitely a sense of ‘coasting’ with this unit.
If you don’t need the internet, don’t watch tv or care if it’s frequently buffering, don’t have mobility issues, and are generally ok with a hands-off rough & tumble experience in an older pad, then this place may serve you well. It’s got 3 big bedrooms & a nice fireplace & is wonderfully close to Palisades & Alpone resorts.
