Frozen water pipes.
We were informed as we were traveling the 4 hour drive that there was a problem with a frozen water pipe. The 12 of us were traveling in 3 different cars, arriving at separate times. When we arrived, the hot water had been left running in three sinks. Therefore we had no hot water. We had to endure our stay with a space heater in the way in front of the downstairs kitchen sink. The TV in the living room would not connect to anything, so we had no TV. The fireplace in the big master bedroom would not turn on. When the maintenance man showed up to fix the water pipe issue, he said there was already a trouble ticket on the fireplace in master.We also had some rooms that were too hot, and some that were too cold. We managed through all of this, and still maintained a good attitude. We are not sure why this property was not totally ready for guests. We asked the maintenance man if he was going to put heat tape on the pipes, and he said no, the pipes are plastic. When this house was built, the builder obviously did not consider the climate. One of our checkout orders was this, "turn the heat down to 50 degrees." We did as instructed, but the next guest may show up to frozen pipes too. We grew up in very cold, snowy towns ourselves. We think this property needs new water pipes that can be kept above freezing (no plastic) or the heat should be at 55 or above. The owner may save $ on the heat bill, but the guests will not be totally satisfied. Thank you for asking.

Wedding week stay
the property is well designed for a large group of family members for vacations or wedding parties. The backyard has great space for large groups, nice firepit, etc. The location has a few issues which the property management/owners should be able to fix. The lights around the firepit are said to be decorative but dont work, The front entry has tile damage that needs to be corrected ASAP. They have a red cone noting damage but its an easy fix that we were wondering why it wasn't fixed. The barbecue is nicely connected to the gas system of the house. However no one seems to clean the barbecue so we had to do it to make sure that we did not have any large fires when cooking ribs or other greasy items. Note there is no AC so we managed the windows to keep the house cool. The yard is overgrown and needs more upkeep. One spot on the path has a small bush or tree that is partially blocking the pathway. the pathways also need stairs added at their ends rather than requiring renters to climb down over the rocks. Overall, the owners and or property management company are not keeping the house maintained very well and seem to be waiting for the renters to provide feedback.

Great Property and Well Stocked!
Really no complaints. Great property. Lots of space for guests to sleep. Kitchen had tons of amenities which is great. A little bit of a hike to ski in ski out, but doable to get to the Poma. We would recommend bringing extra firewood. Or picking it up on the way in at the gas station. All in all a wonderful stay.
