Great cabin! Easy check-in and great communication with host!We didn't spend too much time at the cabin because most of our weekend was spent on the slopes, but the time we did spend in the cabin was amazing!Check-in was super easy - they even left a light on inside the cabin for us! This was a nice touch, because we arrived after dark and the outside lights were not on.Loved the wood burning stoves! The instructions on how to start a fire were especially helpful. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware and dishes. My two boys loved the bunk beds downstairs and the ability to play pool and darts. Lots of other games were available to play, too, which made for fun family nights after a long day of snowboarding.The confusing part was the two different lock boxes and checklists. The front door had the lockbox on the handle and the backdoor's lockbox was on a post. The backdoor's lockbox did not work, but we only needed one key, so that was okay.Inside there was a binder next to the check-in/check-out placard with "Guest Checklist" but there were two additional checklists, too. One was taped to the back door of the cabin, and another on the door downstairs next to the wood stove (I think this was the garage door, but we didn't have access to the garage, so I can't be sure). The checklists had different check-out times and instructions, but we just went with what was in the binder since it seemed more "official."Overall great stay! I'd definitely stay again! Thanks!
