Great place. Accommodated our whole team. Very spacious
Great location for grandkids to spend with the cousins and uncles and romp in the snow!
Overall this property met our needs for a ski weekend with 5 couples. It is very spacious as described and the hot tub and sauna were awesome after a day of skiing and snowshoeing. One disappointment was being told upon arrival the dishwasher was broken with a new one coming the next week. We ended up buying paper plates to avoid doing all the dishes by hand. The location was awesome being a ski in ski out. The house and furnishings looked a little tired for the rental cost.
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We’ve stayed here many times and it’s special to our family. We live Bear Necessities! We discovered Big Powderhorn 40 years ago, and have stayed in the same house for the last 10 years.
Perfect cabin for a large family. The living rooms and kitchen had plenty of space and seating for everyone to hang out!
Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This location and overall condition of the cabin was wonderful! I was unable to receive any response from contacts for the rental via either email or VRBO direct messaging which was very concerning. The bookshelves were a mess and completely disheveled, which we reorganized for future guests. Great place, poor communication by property management/rental.
Our group of 4 families had a wonderful time. The place is well stocked. We very much enjoyed the huge deck and the fire pit. There are some great hikes to waterfalls nearby. Huge kitchen to cook and hang out with and plenty of room elsewhere.
Would love to see a washer be installed
Great for large family gathering. The grandkids loved the outside space. The property lived up to expectations. Very well equipped. Had everything we needed, including paper towels and toilet paper, soap, dishwasher soap. On our last night, the kids were asking if we could come back next year.
Excellent property, private and in winter ski in and out. Perfect for long walks and easy hikes. Kitchen is well stocked for maximum number of guests. Check-in staff very friendly and helpful. We can’t wait to return soon.
We traveled 8 hours from downstate to meet our family in the area. We were able to host our family Saturday and Sunday from the area, had plenty of room to feed and sit everyone. Had a great firepit to sit around. Had a wonderful neighbor just across the way that actually transported our 86 year old aunt across so she would not have to do any stairs into the cabin. It was wonderful to be able to interact with our cousins. There was enough room to play games with the kids outdoors. Everyone enjoyed themselves. The cousins in the area thought the place was beautiful and even inquired about renting it themselves for their immediate family. Thank you for a wonderful experience. We had a minor issue with one of bathrooms, called the office and within a half hour they had sent someone over to check out the problem.

One of the best VRBO‘s we’ve ever stayed in! Perfect location for getting onto the hill, and very spacious. It had everything you could possibly need, and you didn’t need to bring anything!
