Nice stay Nice View

The home is beautiful. We had it for the weekend of January 10-12. For us not being used to snow it would have been very considerate for the driveway to be cleared. Me and my family had to be parked at the bottom of the drive way and walk up to the house with all our luggage and food. This was very inconvenient the driveway was icy and most of us had a fall. Its very dangerous. The home should be supplied with more paper towels and toilet paper, trash bags really? We had to travel to the store for these extra supplies , very inconvenient. The stay was fine

The property was wonderful and exactly as pictured.

The house was absolutely terrific. Would totally stay there again. Exactly as pictured. The bedroom with the two queen beds (not pictured) is just as well done as the rest of the house. Super comfortable all around. Plenty of space for the six of us adults and kids to eat breakfast and dinner. Also to hang out, play board games, watch movies and sports post-skiing / snowboarding at Apache. The reservation and check-in and check-out process was easy. Communication from the management company, Hummingbird Cabins, was 5-star. Thanks for the great vacation! Our group loved it!
