The house was roomy and comfortable, complete with large windows to let in the light and a fireplace with plenty of wood on site (firewood is included in the optional internet/cleaning package, which is additional to the advertised rate). Everything was as described, and the house was clean and in great condition when we arrived. The kitchen was well stocked with cookwear and dishes, and the TV/DVD player worked without a hitch. The water was more than hot enough throughout our stay (whatever the issue the previous reviewer had with hot showers had definitely been fixed). The house is up on a hill, so we needed chains to get up the last road and driveway (there had been snow two days earlier, and though it had been plowed it was still somewhat snowy/icy), but the location, higher than the surroundings and off the main roadway, gives you a sense of space and peace as you gaze out across the pine trees, especially from upstairs. When we called Len on the house phone (which is either satellite or internet) for our virtual check-in, he gave us great information about ski/snowshoe trail locations, which we explored over the next few days. It was comforting to know that there was a working phone line in case of an emergency given that there's no cell service up there. We brought our dogs along (there's an additional pet fee), who had a wonderful time as well. The only issue we had was the thermostat in the house, which did not seem to correspond to the house temperature (the house was a bit too too warm, and even turning the thermostat all the way down did not seem to work). That's better than the opposite problem, of course, as it's easily remedied by cracking a window, but we definitely did not want to burn propane for no reason. A few light bulbs were out here and there throughout the house, which we told the owner about when we left. We had a fantastic time hanging out in the house and snowshoeing and skiing on the trails that start near Ponderosa Lodge and will definitely be back.
