Our family has been to Breck for the last 7 years at Thanksgiving to ski and be together and always use VRBO. This is the best rental we have had in those seven years.
The location is perfect. Away from the noise but just a three minute drive or short walk if you want to get there. The house was spotlessly clean. Everything worked like it was supposed to, which is really saying something when it comes to VRBO rentals. There were clear, concise instructions for everything (hot tub, Sonos, grill, fire place, laundry, trash and recycling). I had great communication with the owner and another in our group had similarly great communication from the property manager.
The kitchen gets its own paragraph. Our biggest complaint when we rent homes is the lack of usability of the kitchen. Most homes sleep 14-18 people but if you want to cook for them you are just out of luck. Not this kitchen. 2 ovens, 2 microwaves, big range and a large grill made cooking all meals including Thanksgiving meal a breeze. There are pots, pans, cooking sheets, roasting pans, slow cookers, a FULL spice cabinet and all the things needed to easily prepare large meals for the group. The kitchen is meticulously organized and labeled and it literally has everything. My mom, not believing the reviews having been burned before, brought her expensive knives and several spices with her from Kansas City but they were totally unnecessary. Another small but enormously valuable item was the second coffee machine
