Overall a great stay over the Christmas holiday, despite winter storm conditions (more snow than anyone expected!). Hosts were very responsive. We had three generations staying at the house and everyone had a great time. The house is extremely clean and the spaces are very functional. Lots of bathrooms, lots of bedrooms, nice mix of public/private spaces. The over-the-garage apartment is great if you have a small family who wants a separate area to put kids down, etc. The kitchen was pretty well equipped, with good quality knives and cookware (definitely not the chaos jumble of junk that most rentals have). The beds and bedding were super comfortable. The holiday decorations were great! The TV situation is kinda cool, is huge but also out of the way: we didn't know where it was at first... and then noticed it above the fireplace!
The major downside was the hot tub was broken. Based on the reviews, it's been broken on/off for over a month before our stay, but the host only told us a couple of days beforehand. The repair person came out the day before we departed but it still wasn't fixed. If you don't care about the hot tub, no big deal. If that's a reason you're renting this house, then make sure to check in a week beforehand and set the expectation that it should be working.
Misc stuff to know, minor things to improve:
* You can only do one can of garbage... but both cans of garbage were full already! We put ours on top. At this price point just have the cleaners take the garbage out instead of putting that on the guests.
* Suncadia doesn't recycle any paper but cardboard - anything else pushes into your 1-can garbage budget. The recycling can was full already too, and had garbage in it. So I had a not-fun time of going through other people's trash and sorting it properly, just so we would have room for our recycling.
* The Suncadia snowplow clears the roads but doesn't clear the driveway and driveway entrance. It does the exact opposite: creates a snow/ice wall blocking you in/out every day. So if there's significant snow falling, be ready to shovel it clear daily.
* The master bedroom is on the main floor, and everything else is upstairs, in case you have mobility-limited ppl joining or small children.
No place is perfect, but this house was super comfortable with responsive hosts, and was a great stay in a winter wonderland!
