The night sky
Lights from nearby towns wash out the faintest stars; the Milky Way is faint.

Beautiful property, but it could use better signage. It’s challenging to navigate, especially if you’re arriving after dark. My friends and I ended up stuck in the driveway of another rental property due to snow. We had to walk half a mile through two feet of snow .. while it was snowing.. in the dark, with flashlights, just to find the place we rented. After our stay, we were asked to take the trash to bear-proof receptacles. However, they don’t provide trash bags, and we couldn’t figure out where the bins were located.
Exceptional
The house was bea and clean. Good location.
One garbage bag, 2 dishwasher tabs, and one roll of toilet paper per bathroom. For the price of the rental and staying 3 days, those items should have been provided. Even a cheap hotel gives you an extra roll of toilet paper.
Very good
Peaceful and Spacious
The location was spacious with the 5 bedrooms that was provided. The family and I enjoy our Thanksgiving week at this location. Surrounded by tress and the mountains made the views great. The balcony was spacious as well but it was too cold to really enjoy until the Sun came out on Thanksgiving day. The kitchen provided everything we needed along with the 4 bathrooms for a family of 12. If a store run is required there are plenty of stores close by.
The only issue the family and I experienced on the 1st night was how to turn the shower on. There was only instructions in the master bathroom on how to navigate the shower options.
