Not ideal
TV didnt work the entire duration of our stay, contacted Vacasa several times but nothing was actually done. The walkway to the entrance was just a downhill ice trial. Bed was incredibly uncomfortable, my boyfriend ended up sleeping on the equally uncomfortable futon. Place was clean enough, good location. Quick drive to Mary Jane, about 7-8 mins to main base area. Other than that, not great. Definitely would not stay again or recommend to friends or family. Also will steer clear of Vacasa managed properties if I can manage.

Needs work
Location was great overall property needs some work. The water was very minimally smelling almost to the point where you didn't want to take the shower. The shower drain filled up and didn't drain properly so you were standing in dirty water the whole time showering. The kitchen sink drain p-trap was not properly secured and started leaking how to put a bucket under it so not to flood the place out while washing dishes by hand.
Vacasa properties in this area are INCREDIBLY DIRTY. I am allergic to mold and dust and had to be treated due to how GROSS their properties are, mind you I am an otherwise healthy 20-something year old. They also leave moldy food in their appliances so hope you don’t want toast. There were rats, likely attracted by the food bits left in EVERY SINGLE PAN/POTDO JOT STAY HERE. Even if they say cleaners will come “again” (they clearly never came once) they are LIARS
