Incredible mountain house for family ski trip!
Wow. This property blew everyone away with the details and mountain views! We rented this house for our annual Deer Valley ski trip (16 adults + one infant), and the house was next to perfect.
Everyone had a bed to sleep in, the family rooms (main floor and lower level) were incredibly spacious, and the kitchen was big enough for everyone to cook breakfasts and dinners. A number of us had to work remotely during the week, and the office set up in the primary bedroom is superb.
Pros:
- The garage and driveway were incredibly spacious. We rented 3 large SUVs and could fit two in the garage and one in the heated driveway. Could have fit 1 more small SUV.
- The service was incredible. On the first day, 1 of the 2 coffee makers stopped working and the team at Natural Retreats helped replace it within 24 hours. We also requested additional towels given the size of our group, and they were delivered along with the coffee maker. (There is a vertuo Nespresso machine and had we known, we may have ordered pods ahead of time!)
- There were folks helping to shovel the top of the driveway given all the snow we had, which was definitely appreciated.
- It was so easy to order baby rentals for the week. My sister was all set up with a high chair, pack and play, and crib setup.
Cons:
- The couple that slept in the 3rd upper level “queen” bedroom was probably the most disappointed: They had to share a bathroom with their parents who had the king bedroom across the hall (not the primary suite) and the bed is definitely not queen-sized (we think it was a double). There is also no closet and instead a small wardrobe.
- The same went for the adults in the twin bedroom (2 twin beds) on the main level: They had to share with the couple in the king bedroom across the hall and on the other side of the floor near the kitchen. They ended up mostly using the primary suite bathroom in the top level where our parents stayed. (All other bedrooms had bathrooms attached.)
- In the kitchen, it would’ve been nice to have more cleaning products and cooking spices that can be left and shared across renters.
- We had to move the round table from the living room with the extra chairs into the dining room so we could seat everyone (16 adults), but we made it work!
- It would’ve been great to have a boot dryer for all the ski boots!
All in all, it was an amazing stay, 9.5/10, and we are highly considering renting this house again next year!
