Wedding Reunion
Location of and view from this house were spectacular for our purposes. Main floor of the house was well-appointed but the basement/rec area was poorly lit: the bathroom floor was not clean, some of the blankets were torn and frayed. Some of the outlets didn't function (i.e. in the washer/dryer room); 2 of the TV remotes had to have batteries replaced. Attention to detail seems to be lacking in some areas. We have stayed at numerous properties and were surprised that this lovely house had no "welcome" package or directions regarding what to do with linens, trash, recycling, etc. Given our history with previous home stays, we followed what we had done in the past.

Mountain getaway
It was overall lovely. Great location with easy access to ski slopes. We loved the view, the fireplace and the hot tub. We were informed the day before our stay that the washing machine and the dish washer were not working. We were given a small refund for those missing amenities. The property was pretty clean, but they definitely missed some vacuuming in the living room in front of the couch. We were not able to log into our Netflix account from the TV, and channels were limited.

Pros about this property, its in the perfect location. Informed a fire place was not working and they instantly gave us a credit of 150.00. Cons: Toaster did not work properly. No can opener Advised of late check in so I helped the cleaning lady make our bed and we used the same blankets on the bed as the people did the prior week. No scald guard on the water and it easily could have scalded any of us. Everytime a toilet was used to do a number 2, it clogged the toilet. So my husband who is a licensed plumber had to go around and plunge the toilets after every use. One toilet would not work at all. Hot Tub did not work. The washing machine sounded like a 747 had landed in the kitchen. Someone who had rented the house had spilled what looked like wine on the couch and it was still there. Under the couches were other peoples garbage and lost items. Meaning the bare minimum cleaning had been done. I blame management for this as there was only 1 cleaning lady for the entire house. Living room furniture needs replaced. It felt as tho we were being sucked into it.

The listing describes the place perfectly!!! Beautiful, spacious cabin, breathtaking views, and a large, well-maintained hot tub! The place was perfect to host my boyfriends 40th with all of our grown children and their significants!! All the rooms were large. There was plenty of room to accommodate us all and more if needed!! Absolutely loved it!!!

The views, oh my goodness! We had a close-to-peak leaf weekend and the mountain was not at all crowded, so that was great. We were in the clouds and super windy about half of our weekend, but that's part of being in the mountains. The house has an adequate amount of cookware, etc, but was lacking in glassware for our group of 5. Constantly washing dishes. The house should have a broom so that the kitchen and hall can be kept clean. Hot tub was very nice! Our major complaint was the primary TV. One remote had no apparent use, and there was no remote at all for the Roku. There needs to be an option for casting/mirroring to the TV from a phone or other device, and there should be on-site explanations for how they work. The website directions were non-specific and unhelpful. 5 reasonably savvy adults were not able to rent a movie, and the Netflix seems to be disabled. Attempts to log in on our own accounts were apparently closed out, but without a clear explanation. In the high winds we had (20-30 mph for hours at a time) the fireplace damper rattled constantly, but could not be closed due to the pilot light. House was warm, neat and clean, but the games provided were so incomplete as to be funny. The backgammon set had only 10 pieces in it. Towels and soaps were plentiful, and the house is laid out well.

House with a view
The location and size of this house are it's best assets. It is a tired rental that wasn't cleaned to my standards. Bathrooms were clean, floors were awful. Definitely needs a good scrub. I wiped black fingerprints off of most of the white doors myself. The dishwasher appears to be fairly new but is not installed (attached) properly and we were never able to get it to work so all dishes were washed by hand. It is a very large house with lots of space for many people. We enjoyed the deck in the evenings with the fire table.

Elderberry (Family) Escape
The property was nice. I was disappointed in the cleanliness of the floors (especially the kitchen), the pile of recycle trash in garage w/ roaches running around it, the hot tub cover was filthy with piles of bricks on top of it, the water was cloudy and uninviting for use, and the grill was gross. Other than those few health concerns the house was very accommodating for my 86 year old mother and her five 60+ year old children. We saw deer in the back yard.

I booked this house the weekend of my wedding for all of my bridesmaids to stand and it was beyond perfect. Our only issue was that some thing broke on the guest bathroom upstairs at 9pm and I contacted management and it was fixed before lunch the next day. I could not have asked for a better location given that you are right inside of town without having to be inside of town. I would definitely stay here again any day!

Wonderful weekend!
Our family rented the house for a wedding weekend due to its close proximity to the Overlook Barn venue. We were pleasantly surprised to find we could walk to a great little pizza place with an arcade and that though it is “remote” we did not feel isolated. The house is so cosy and the layout was great for all the different people staying at the house. We loved our stay and would definitely return and recommend it!

Perfect for wedding weekend
Our daughter got married at the Overlook Barn and the house was perfect to entertain family and friends in town for the event and basically walking distance to the venue. Lots of space including a big deck & fantastic view! If it’s winter, even early April, you do need 4wheel drive (we got a random snow storm!)

Epic snow slide on site
The best part of this rental was the ability to build an epic snow slide in the back for the kiddos. An area of improvement would attention to cleanliness as this part was not acceptable. Inability to wash towels due to no laundry soap. 2 bedroom downstairs with space heaters so extremely dry air causing sore throats

No heaters in this place
It turned out to be disastrous and disappointing trip. We were there to see fall colors. The temperature was around 35-40. They didn’t have heater downstairs. It was so hard to sleep in that cold weather. We have at least 2 adults sick, 2 kids did throw up n r sick now. There was no instructions on how to contact property owner or property manager. Later we bought this up to Vrbo n management. Nothing was done. This will be my first n last booking with Vrbo for such pathetic experience. Remaining charges came up to be more than the listing price. I see they have unnecessary charges on the booking which isn’t required.

Overall the house was beautiful and welcoming with an amazing view of the mountains from just about any room in the house. Pictures posted represented the house well. Nice mountain getaway. Peaceful. Areas of improvement: -yard work needed to be done -several broken items from previous visitors that needed to be removed -more kitchen utensils would be greatly appreciated -air freshener (maybe plug ins) to help with the smell when the home is vacant
