This property didn’t actually have one. We were traveling with five teenagers and six adults, all of which anticipated sitting in a hot tub outside after skiing. It was very disappointing. Other than that everything as shown in the description was accurate. I was very surprised to find VRBO doesn’t offer assistance with an inaccurate listing. ##### Nathan Y. Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ed P., Durham, NC Sep 15, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Misinformation This is a nice place to stay with plenty of thi n s to do in the area. The listing however had some issues. The media room downstairs was useless since the tv did not work at all despite asking for help. The pool table was in very poor shape as well. Everything else was good. My only complaint beside the useless media room was that the welcome book and listing did not align and we received a fee for having a pet one night even though the welcome book said pets were welcome. This error was admitted by the owner but still did not refund our fee. When businesses make mistakes, it should be at their cost, not the customers. ##### Ed P.
