Don’t stay here in the winter!
My wife and I decided to stay for a short weekend to celebrate her birthday. When we got to the cabin, it was 52°! The Toyo stove was going, but it was not keeping the cabin warm. Yes, it was below zero temperatures outside but this is ridiculous! I reached out to the host to ask if this was the only heat source, as well as how to turn on a ceiling fan to push some of the hot air down, and they would not respond. On our day of departure, the cabin finally warmed up. I also was able to figure out the ceiling fan with no help from the host. This cabin is old and in desperate need of a remodel. Dishonor and hot tub was nice, but we would not stay here again, and I don’t recommend anyone else stay as well, unless the host updates the cabin, and is more responsive to the guest needs.

Disgusting
Chalet was very dirty inside and outside. Pictures were very deceiving the chalet was very outdated and needed a lot of repair. We were disgusted and left to find an alternate place to stay. However, we did contact the management and we did get a full refund.

DO NOT RENT THIS PROPERTY
We are questioning if we will ever take a chance to stay at a VaCasa/VRBO property in the future. This miserable experience makes us feel like we were lured here only to be taken advantage of financially for a misrepresented property that in our opinion should never have been made available for rentals/bookings until significant changes have been made to the property. It is fraudulent and we feel violated by this nightmare of an experience. The home is in grave disrepair. It was dirty. We had to vacuum the entire place. I had to wash floors, sticky dirty. No internet/TV for a week. Sauna would not shut off the entire week keeping the house HOT in July. So many things wrong with this property that they don't allow enough characters here for me to explain. Broken couch and chairs. No screens on windows or patio door to cool the home. It was a nightmare. This impacted our vacation first time to Alaska, immensely.

Location
The location was ideal for what we needed. The place is very dated but comfortable. They need a few mugs and wineglasses for the kitchen . We did not use any appliances except for the dishwasher when we left. Four adults stayed here

In major need of updates/repairs!
Definitely not worth the money I paid to stay here 2 nights. Smelled like dogs-(Dog friendly house but we did not have dogs). Lesson learned. Not very clean at all. It looked nice but smelled a bit and felt dirty. Beds, bedding and pillows were super worn. In need of replacing. Windows flimsy with loose locks and broken framing on some. Hot water handle in downstairs bathroom was loose and coming off. Both bathrooms had cracked drains in the showers. Vents were super dusty. Hole in wall behind upstairs bathroom door. Hot tub water was cloudy and had small rocks and tree debris in it. Dishes were very used and scuffed up-Teflon-which is a health concern. Floor is uneven and feels very weak. Staircase railing is super loose and wiggling a lot, very unstable. The stairs also have huge gaps between the safety railing which I’m pretty sure is a building code violation. Also the stair steps are a bit sketchy, as they lean downwards and have slippery worn carpet. We slipped a few times on them. This house is in need of several updates and repairs. I would not stay here again until these were done. The neighborhood is great! Quiet and relaxing! And beautiful setting! The hot tub was nice after a day of skiing. Yes, even with the little rocks I was stepping on.
