May snow!!!
Pros - The living room could accommodate a large gathering. The bedrooms were good sized and well spread out. We were treated to an out of season May snowstorm as we peacefully sat in the living room enjoying the massive windows, watching the snow float to the ground. Upstairs was a game room where the kids hung out most of the time. There was a pool table, a foosball table, and movies we didn’t watch. Saturday morning we woke up to no hot water. Maintenance responded quickly. There was plenty of parking and bath towels. Cons - Customer service is in India. House cleaners dead bolted the front door, prior to our arrival, so that the code we were given didn’t work. We were instructed to use the lockbox if the door code didn’t work, but no code for the lockbox was given with our check in instructions. House was not clean when we arrived, kitchen floor was sticky, kitchen counter tops were crusty, the stove was down right disgusting, chandelier over the table was filled with cobwebs. The carpet is dirty and stained. We were told at check out to take the sheets off the beds. That was a mistake because the mattress pads were gross with stains all over them. Many of the pots and pans were unusable because of the teflon coating pealing off . There were only 2 small kitchen towels, so I had to use bathroom towels in the kitchen, and not enough forks to go around. The pool table is missing one ball. The Alderhill house is lovely but needs some love and attention.

Perfect for extended families
The cabin is roomy with extra seating in the living and game rooms. The kitchen table was very large too. We appreciated having a garage in the winter. The kids could sled on the property. We will be back.

I would give 10 stars if I could!
We had a fantastic 4-night stay. The house was immaculately clean upon arrival. The beds were comfortable and the towels big and fluffy. No AC but all of the rooms have fans. The large kitchen was stocked with multiples of everything you could possibly need for a good time (bring your own foil, paper goods etc). The management company (Vacasa) was very responsive and helpful with a small bar-b-que issue. Check in and check out was clear and easy. The kids loved the large upstairs game room with a pool table (I would have preferred ping-pong, less likely for kids to damage), foosball, and the only TV. My only suggestion: I couldn't figure out from the listing the locations of the bathrooms. Besides the downstairs Master, there is a full bathroom downstairs, and a full bathroom upstairs shared by the three upstairs bedrooms. We will definitely try to stay there again!

Perfect Home for Elsa & Olaf
Beware of broken heater! Our much anticipated vacation started out by not being able to access the broken lockbox in order to get into the home. After contacting the property management company, Vacasa, and spending 30 minutes searching for a backup lockbox in 29 degree weather, we finally gained entrance to the home. As if that weren't disappointing enough, once inside, we discovered the heater was broken. We called Vacasa once again, and all that they could do was create a maintenance ticket. Unfortunately, during our 3 night stay, no one came to maintenance the heater so it was bitter cold the entire time! The hot water tank to the home must also be very small as we ran out of hot water very quickly when showering. Stepping out of a cold shower into a 50 degree home is miserable. The home also lacked basic amenities such as pot holders, dish towels, cleaning products, can openers, decent cookware (all of them had Teflon coming off); toilet seats were in desperate need of replacement; pool sticks had no felt; upstairs tv remote had no batteries; light fixtures and mirrors were broken; screen was popped out in upstairs window; the front door keypad was broken; dining room slider was broken, etc. Not to mention there were lots of carpet stains and the whole home just needed some TLC. The most disappointing part of this stay was VRBO’s lack of concern in their customer service department. Vacasa did its part in terms of customer service; they acknowledged the hassles we went through and compensated us for the issues we encountered. Unfortunately, VRBO still assessed us with a significant service fee which is, in part, a fee for providing 24/7 customer service to their guests. Although I attempted reaching VRBO upon our arrival (with no response received), I was told they would not consider compensating us because we should have known to reach out to their 1-800 number on their website despite the fact that all correspondence from VRBO instructs us to reach out to Vacasa, and even provides the Vacasa telephone number (rather than VRBOs) for all customer service issues. This could be a great home with a little bit of TLC and some minor maintenance. The location is great - about 20 minutes from China Peak, and the neighborhood is nice. Our biggest reservation at this point is renting again from VRBO based on their lack of concern for the issues we encountered.

Family Vacation 2019
Every other year, our family, (2 daughters, 2 son in laws, 3 grandkids and us, husband and wife) take a family trip together. We enjoy staying in a home so we can all be together and make lots of memories. THIS home was really perfect for that. It had more than enough room, bedrooms, sitting areas, bathrooms, deck etc. The eating table sat 10 people. We were all comfortable and had a very nice stay for the 5 days we were there. The only couple of things I could suggest is that it has a large sliding glass door that goes from the kitchen to the large deck and it could use a screen as it is beautiful weather and would like to keep a lot of the flies etc. out. Plus, it is VERY hard to open and close . Maybe fix that. And the other is the BBQ may have seen it's last days. But other than those two things we had a wonderful stay and would definitely stay there again...

Cozy, clean and family friendly home
Simply amazing home with a lot of room and cool decor. Home was really clean upon arrival and we had everything we needed to have a good time for our stay. Pool table and tv were an added bonus. Kitchen had every utensil/appliance we needed. Would definitely stay here again.
