Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location
Nice enough house, but problems...
The good: Great location, near multiple ski mountains. It was very well cleaned. The kitchen is well equipped for a rental property. It has a lot of beds for guest to stay, and the beds were very comfortable. The bad: 1) Believe the other reviews about the bad smell of the basement. It is not a smell of dampness, as other reviewers have stated. It is a septic-system smell. If you are familiar with the smell of a leach field, that's the smell of the basement. While the owners may be used to it, I don't think a guest would tolerate staying in the downstairs bedroom because of the odor. It was detectable near the basement door upstairs, but it was only really offensive downstairs. 2) In the check-in instructions, they do not tell you that the hot water heater is off and needs to be switched on in the basement. If you are not familiar with oil burners, you would not know to look down there for the switch. It would be good to let the renters know about that little detail. No hot water on day 2, breaker needed to be flipped. 3) The basement has a drain pump, which pumps the water from the washer into the septic system. That pump failed when I was doing laundry, and the basement flooded. I was able to figure out how to fix the pump, but there was still an inch of water on the basement floor. 4) Management company refused to give any compensation for having to deal with these maintenance issues. 5) Minor issue: Most of the AAA batteries for the TV remotes were dead.
