We stayed over 4th of July. The no air conditioining was a small issue on check-in day, but the house stayed cool after that. The kids loved the game room and laughed for hours playing pool and foosball. I read thwre were no balls fornthe foosball game, sp I bought a 12 pack and ledt it for future renters. Rooms are spacious and kitchen was big. The fridge is small, so we supplemented with coolers. Bring bug repellant for sitting outside, but emjoy the deck. The bbq worked ok, but could use an upgrade. This was our 2nd time at the house, so clearly we like it.

We loved our stay. The house was beautiful and large for our family of 8. In a cul de sac and quiet neighborhood. Creek and woods are the backyard.
4.5
We had a wonderful family trip (5 adults, 4 kids). This house had great bones but needed some attention. We definitely felt that we got what we paid for, being that this was extremely affordable. Bathrooms were clean, lots of towels, lots of space and great activities for the kids. There was a great outdoor deck we spent lots of time on. There was little to no phone reception and wifi was awful so it was hard to play movies for the kids. Two of the queen beds didn't have fitted sheets, the bedspreads weren't as pictured and seemed old and dirty. The pictures appeared a lot cleaner than what we experienced. The carpet needed to be cleaned or replaced and furniture was very worn. The rock flooring edging sharply stuck out and got both the adults and kids a few times, so bring bandaids. We were only given 3 trash bags and 3 tiny dish towels (the size of a washcloth). There wasn't a functioning can opener. The larger nonstick pan was peeling very badly and non useable. One adult almost fell through floor vent in the kitchen - the edges are not flush. The vents looked like they hadn't been cleaned in ages, so we spent time cleaning some that were in plain sight. There were spider webs everywhere, both inside and out. The outside table was disgusting so we spent lots of time cleaning that as well. Power went out (no hot water then either) on our second to last day and with no word on it coming back on we packed up and left before dark. The flashlight there had no batteries.

The Vacasa staff were very responsive and helpful with our internet issues. Otherwise, this house looks like nothing (other than the towels) has been updated for at least 15 years. Air vents, door locks, blinds, and the dishwasher were all broken or barely working. Most towel hooks were loose and they didn’t even bother to hide massive stains on the carpet, stove, or furniture. Layers of dust covered fans and light fixtures. A little TLC with a fresh layer of paint and some new carpet would work wonders for this spacious home.

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.
4.5
The home, location and amenities were great! We were very pleased and would consider staying again in the future.
The customer support was lacking. Upon checking in, we coasted a number of light that either had burnt bulbs or were constantly flickering. I immediately shared that via text to Vacasa and was told that a local team member would be in touch…never heard from anyone. I also asked about a sign in the kitchen regarding a stereo receiver it said was inside the hutch but nothing there, so we would not use the numerous speakers mounted about.
Lastly, the pool table had an incomplete set of balls and the foosball table had no balls. Part of the reason we booked the house was because of the game room, sadly we were unable to fully enjoy it.

The property has the most gorgeous windows that allow you to take all the beauty a snowy beautiful morning has to offer! They had many unexpected amenities like a very well put together game room. The beds are ok, fluffier pillows would have made it better. We had a wonderful time in this very warm and cozy cabin.

We had a great time at this home. Great neighborhood. Ten minutes away from towns stores. Shaver Pizza is the best, must try. I would definitely recommend this home.

Great home. Very spacious with lots of amenities. The game room was very useful. The kids and adults loved it. The pool table came in handy and spent most of our night enjoying it. The kitchen was well equipped. The bedrooms were comfortable. Only thing I would say is, it was a bit dusty. The main master room lights were not working. We had to use the night lamps. Overall it was a spacious home. We enjoyed it and would book again!

We had a wonderful time at the house on our weekend birthday getaway. Plenty of room for everyone to enjoy. We celebrated 2 family. Birthday and meals were wonderful in the dining area where we all fit on the table to sit down meals!. Great place
4.5
The cabin was very spacious, game room was very entertaining. The cabin exceeded more than what they show in the pictures on Vacasa. The only thing I will say is the AC wasn’t really working, we just opened up the windows to stay cool. They do provide fans, which is nice. Also the refrigerator wasn’t cold at all. We had to put our food in an ice chest but over all. I’d definitely come back! But probably not a hot weekend

Big spacious rooms, large kitchen with most everything you would need, We were there 6 days and spent one whole day just staying in home, it was great, our grandkids loved the game room and there was 10 of us and plenty of room for all.

VRBO was excellent in booking and responding to questions I had for our stay. When we arrived my family and I were mesmerized by the beautiful views and layout of the home. I was pleased to find lots of pots, pans and dish ware which made it easier for our big homemade breakfasts and dinners. The roads leading to the home were clean, and well maintained with nearly no snow on the roads leading to the home. The game room was excellent for all my pool players and every room was comfortable and cozy. The pillows, sheets and blankets were perfect for a good nights rest. As a side note, there’s only one fireplace that is gas. Don’t take fire wood of your own. We reserved this VRBO for four nights and five days however we left about a day and a half early. The water heater stopped working and no on one could shower and washing dishes was a nightmare. As we tried to call from our phones however the service was not good in the area, even with the Wi-Fi that was provided.
Overall, we would stay again but that water heater is essential for a comfortable stay. We will be booking for next year! :)

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.

The layout of the home is perfect for families with all ages. The game room was great… plenty of together space, and separate space. The snow run behind the house was perfect!

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!
