Overall impression of the property was fantastic. Great location, great views, private, close to Winter Park and Grandby, shops, food and amenities are very close to the property.
The second night we were there, the area had lots of snow that fell. We are guest in this home, are very unfamiliar with the roads, ice and extremely icy conditions. To be fair, there is a rule at the house that you must take the trash in your car about 2 miles to the dump from the house. We left the trash out (absolutely against policy we later found) due to bears. So, we received a phone call and a text message that we needed to take the trash to the dump. Again, this is all in a really, really bad storm. We then get another text advising us from the owner that we 'needed' to take the trash out. There was zero regard for our safety and even a thought that we could take the trash later after the storms let up. Because we believe in treating everyones property as though it is our own, and to follow the rules, we reluctantly took the trash to the dump as we knew that we were being monitored by 1 of the 4 cameras on the outside of the house monitoring. Not one, but two cars are now stuck in ditches wherein we had to get the community snow plower to assist us in getting our cars out.
The same night, my family had set up a surprise for me to have my god daughter and her friend and boyfriend come out to visit since they lived in Denver. Again, this was a total surprise and my wife and I were not aware that they were coming. All of the sudden we get another text message from the owners telling us that we needed to pay additional fees if the guest will be staying. Again, that is the rule and we have no problems adhering to it. Once we received the 3rd text message (friendly reminder) that we needed to pay it was beginning to get a little annoying that we felt as though our every single move was being watched. My wife and I stayed one day, cleaned off the entire deck-with about 18"-24" of snow on the deck. Not one mention or even a thank you that we cleaned their entire deck (after the storm) from the owners but they were immediate to tell us that we needed to close the hot tub lid after we intentionally left it opened because of a bad sewer like water smell. How did they see that so quickly? Big Brother House! The inside of the property was dirty under beds, couches, closets, washer rooms and there is ZERO water pressure at all in this house. Weak wi-fi.
