The kitchen is well stocked, the woodstove cozy, and the view over the meadow gorgeous. It'e a bit of a schlep to the front door in deep snow, but the snowshoes at the cabin help! Worth the adventure ##### Kevin B. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John W.

Oct 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Space for Our Purposes 8 of us stayed here for our annual fishing trip at Caples, Silver, Blue Lakes and others. House fit us perfectly, everyone had a bed and the living room was perfect for hanging out after a long day on the water. Parking was easy and plentiful in October. Everything was clean, just some stains on the carpet, but that is minor. Would definitely stay again! ##### Joshua R. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ramona D.

Very comfortable and cozy with everything you need. It is a wonderful location on the Kirkwood meadow with a hiking trail right off the deck. It was perfect for our stay. ##### Ramona D.

May 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful home if a perfect location Super clean and updated--it does not have the "worn ski cabin" feeling at all. Great location near the edge of the meadow where the creak is easily heard. ##### Brent T. Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicholas N. Jun 14, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Memorial Day Weekend Way more snow than we expected when we booked our stay and made it a little more difficult to get to with the snow melting. Still a fun stay and would come back. ##### Nicholas N.

All of the coziness of a cabin in the mountains with glorious views, woodstove ambience, and wifi for the kids... without the hassle of snow! ##### James P. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steve Z. Apr 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful A-frame on the meadow We enjoyed a magical few days in the A-frame watching the snow fall. Amazingly easy to get to skiing via the Kirkwood shuttle. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware and implements. The kids enjoyed sleeping in the loft, and playing out in the snow. We definitely want to come back again. ##### Steve Z. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wendy R. Jan 16, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Ski Weekend Very cute house in a beautiful setting. Everything was as stated in the listing except we didn’t have body soap for the two bathrooms to take showers (there was hand soap and dish soap) so that was disappointing since we booked three nights. ##### Wendy R. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Cheree P. Feb 4, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location and managers Can’t beat the location in Kirkwood and the shuttle service is terrific. Management is helpful and responsive. Home is nicely laid out but furniture is rather worn, with cracks in some sofas and chairs. King size bed has seen better days, though the rest aren’t bad. ##### Cheree P. Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Dave F. Aug 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quiet and nice setting Our stay was good. I'd say value-wise this property was in the top 75% of the places we've stayed. It is in a nice location, is quiet and has a good vibe. The kitchen was well outfitted. The house was clean. A good TV with steaming options and good internet. A couple of notes: 1) Beware of the 150 schlep to the house from parking, either in snow or not. 2) There is no outdoor furniture. 3) The upstairs bedroom is open at top to the sleeping loft, noise and light-wise. ##### Dave F. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Pat G. Jul 15, 2024 Liked: Check-in Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wedding rental disaster The property was a complete disappointment. It started with carpenter ants and as the stay unfolded spiders. The property manager responded with sending someone out to spray but it should have been done before we got there. Did not seem to be a surprise. As for the carpet it was spotted with dirty areas. The furniture was worn. The furniture was dirty. Leftover food crumbs in cracks of tabletops. No tissues were provided and horrid toilet paper. We rented this home in order to be at our godsons wedding and left a day early because the home grossed us out. ##### Pat G. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Benjamin G. Mar 27, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location! The location on Kirkwood property is outstanding. The amenities are not new but more than sufficient. With the historic snowfall this year it is imperative to bring a shovel with you in addition to the one at the property. Hot water does run out quickly, and if you want more firewood you have to ask and then figure out where the trap door is (downstairs bedroom closet, who knew?!) to get the wood. There were a few maintenance things that we told the property manager about, including the front door not closing enough to lock, kitchen sink drip, and upstairs shower not working. Hopefully those things are fixed soon. We had a great time, it was everything we needed for a spring break in the mountains. ##### Benjamin G.
