Summary: Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beautiful, comfortable house minutes from skiing at The Highlands. We were a party of 10 and this house had plenty of space. The kitchen had everything we needed and the beds were exceptionally comfortable. Watching the sunset from the hot tub was the perfect end to each day. I would absolutely stay here again.
