The outside of this home does not convey the intense size of scope of the many levels within. A grand escape from the city and perfect for a three day weekend on the mountain

Location was great. Very spacious house. We actually never used the downstairs bedrooms. They are pretty far from everything else and our kids did not feel comfortable being that far away from us. The downstairs couches should be upstairs. They are way more comfortable and seat more people. We couldn’t get the downstairs tv to work. The master shower was clogged so someone had to come unclog it on the first day. The floor upstairs is a disaster. Multiple loose wooden planks. 2 people in our party also saw a mouse in the kitchen. The garage door doesn’t lock so anyone can go lift it open. Don’t store anything valuable in there. Make sure to lock the door to the house from the garage. I messaged the company about the mouse and garage but never heard back. We would not stay here again.
