TLDR: premium rental filled with amenities. New home with some HVAC and EV charger issues to solve. Still recommend to others.This is our second time staying in Bighorn & Bluebell. The family that owns the home and designed the experience were really thoughtful. Every room was spotless and comfortable. We brought along our 3 kids (6, 4, 1.5) and grandparents. The first time we had two families with 5 kids (6, 5, 4, 3, 1.5).The garage play space and proximity to the heated pool were major highlights. The kitchen had everything you need, and the beds were very comfortable. There were some issues with the HVAC system both times we stayed. The kids bunkroom drops down to ~50 F at night, when the rest of the house is set at 69-71. The other bedrooms upstairs also drop in temperature, but none as severe as the kids room.Luckily there are plenty of blankets. We informed the lookout staff during both stays. During our first visit the low temperature was -20F - they sent an HVAC crew that looked at it, but they only changed the filter. We were surprised the issue was still present during our second stay. The low temps were ~35F. This time the thermostat showed a pressurization error. The lookout staff decided to not call an HVAC crew since it was the weekend. Hopefully this gets address before your stay. Its a premium to rent the home and a lot to manage at night.Second challenge was the advertised EV charger did not work either visit. We brought two EVs, so this was important for us in selecting the home. Fortunately, the staff allowed us to use the neighbors EV charger since it wasn't busy / reserved.We've stayed in a number of lookout homes over the years. This is among our favorite. Being at the entrance, it is very convenient for the pool and playground. The tradeoff is you see every car that comes in an out of the neighborhood. Didn't bother us, but if you want more privacy you might select a different home.
