"Despite the beautiful location surrounded by majestic mountains, the accomodations were unfortunately sub standard. They are poorly insulated metal trailer like houses with no proper heating. There is a propane burner in the living room that provides some heat in the main room but not in the bedrooms. Even if you do run it, you have to keep the windows open to avoid dying from carbon monoxide. In the morning it was so cold you could see your breath. Many things in the house were falling apart....
