Beautiful - But with a Few Problems to Iron Out
First of all, I want to say that the views posted on the listing are fabulously accurate. The panoramic view of the lake, mountains, city, and beyond is breathtaking and can all be seen from the hot tub. Best part of our stay! I also appreciated that the house is pet friendly and that Brad was so amenable to our larger dog.That being said, there are a few upgrades I would expect with the cost of this rental. Several of the lights didn't have working bulbs, weren't plugged in, etc. The house was very dark at night, making it hard to read or play games. The fireplace didn't work, despite attempts to fix it. The smell of gas permeated the entire space, even after we opened the doors and windows. Considering the weather on our second day, I was so disappointed we couldn't have a fire going.There were very few towels and they were all incredibly thin. Nicer towels, more kitchen towels, some throw blankets, more paper towels and garbage bags, etc. would be small changes that would elevate the property.The most disappointing feature was the oven. Brad is aware that it's not working and was very apologetic. The kitchen was well-furnished with utensils and cookware, which is a huge plus! However, we couldn't use the oven for any of the food we brought (and we couldn't get off the mountain due to weather to get any other food). While not the owner's fault, I would've expected some kind of compensation for the inconvenience. Still, a lovely rental that I'd like to use again.
