We had a fun Christmas weekend at this rental. The property was decorated for the season, and we enjoyed a true white Christmas with light snowfall the whole trip!
Let me start by sharing some of the unexpected positives of this property:
- It is a very spacious interior, with lots of open floor space
- The sunroom / dining room is much larger than it appears in photos (we fit 7 adults comfortably around the table)
- The outbuilding is also larger inside than you'd expect (we did request and receive photos of the inside before arriving)
- There is a lot of natural light from the plentiful windows, and the location up on a hill provides beautiful scenery of the surrounding mountain-setting
Next, let us share some insights we wish we would have known beforehand:
- It is not truly a 4-bedroom house, but rather a 3-bedroom house with an insulated outbuilding that has a twin-bed (i.e. someone will have to walk down the hill outside in the middle of the night to get access to the bathroom)
- While the house has beds for 7 people (not 8), there is only formal seating for 4 people (dining table, living room, etc..), with folding chairs available to accommodate additional seating
- If you are coming in the winter, make sure you have good tires (and ideally 4WD), as this is truly a mountain-access location, including a steep driveway
We have shared directly with the owner some of our concerns about cleanliness, but that would not prevent us from staying here again in the future.
