• Almost a Vacation Rental

  3/5

  This home is a half-hearted attempt at a vacation rental. Missing some essentials and rundown. The curtains are barely hanging in there, furniture is well loved, lots of cobwebs. Property manager was impossible to get a hold of and even when we did speak, it was ineffective as if they weren’t even reading what I was sending them and they were just sending an automated response. The location is great, the view was great, but given the market, I’d recommend you stay somewhere else for that price to get your moneys worth.

• Big House, Great Location, Poorly Maintained, Gross Hot Tub, Poor Communication

  1/5

  Positives: • Excellent location.• Huge living/dining room made it ideal for our 6 adults skiing in summit county.Negatives: • This house has been abused and neglected. • Ice buildup on the sidewalk, stairs, and back porch almost broke a few legs.• Lots of dings/holes in the walls, scratches on the doors.• Carpet loose on stairs.• Random crap in the drawers and on shelves.• Knobs broken off cabinets or missing.• Window screens bent, latches broken.• Window curtains broken, or falling off.• The hot tub water was green, and the inside had mold growing on it. • The exterior of the hot tub is falling apart (looks like someone tried to repair it - poorly)• Overall the interior is tired and dated. (Carpet in the master bathroom? Gross).Communication:• The house is managed by a large company (Evolve) that refuses to use VRBO's communication channels, and tries to get you sign up for an Evolve account. (No thank you). • Information about the house came from third-party email that all went to spam.• We use VRBO for the trust and safety - by forcing us to use a third-party system or email, all record and accountability is lost making us wonder why we bother using VRBO.Bottom Line:• This stay was the biggest disappointment in our traveling life - and we've used VRBO extensively with friends and family, as well as other house-share companies.• If the house was maintained appropriately, it might be worth the premium rate this house-farm business is charging — but it's not.

• Great Location, but lacking some essentials

  4/5

  We had a great stay and the location was amazing. Was nice to relax in the hot tub after a full day of skiing.

  There were some basic items that the house did not have, primarily for the kitchen - such as pot holders (to remove things from oven), plates were few and various size, mixing bowls, etc.

  I asked the rental company about the possibility of early check in, and they suggested I reach out to the owner, which I never received a reply from. I knew the listing was pet friendly, so would not be surprised by a little animal hair here and there, but it was a bit much.

  All in all, we had a great stay and would stay again if the place gets slightly better equipped for hosting.

  From the owner: "The house has an over supply of Plates dishes and glasses (enough for 20) in the cupboards as well as pots and pans as I cook alot."

• A great stay

  5/5

  This was a wonderful place for a family. Plenty of space to spread out after a long day skiing. The home is in a quiet neighborhood near the main road into Keystone, just minutes from the resort. The backyard can't be beat— a nice deck with a hot tub looking out over the mountain. Overall, a great stay around.
