Listing not as described!
This would have been a wonderful place to stay, but the listing for this rental property is misleading and did not fully disclose all the dome cameras they have around the property, which we believe violates VRBO's privacy policies. First, this is an owner-occupied rental, where the rental space is their basement that has a private entrance around the house in the backyard. You DO NOT get the entire house despite them posting pictures of the entire house. This was advertised as being “secluded” and “PRIVATE space NO SHARING” however, there was a man that walked by through the rented space in the backyard to get to his garden which made all of us uncomfortable. They played music on their outside speakers which impeded our desire for quiet nature, let alone private space.The kicker though, is that they have cameras all over the outside which were not identified in the listing, in writing, verbally, or any form of posting on the property and made our stay feel extremely uncomfortable, exposed and violated. Not only are there undisclosed cameras on the property, there are three large windows to the rental facing the backyard and one camera that could look directly into the main room, which also contained a bed to use - however, there were absolutely NO window coverings/blinds/shutters for privacy!Again, it would have been a really nice place to stay, but the creepiness of the cameras, no privacy, and misleading posting not saying it was owner-occupied ruined it.

Serenity and beyond
The property is tucked away with a beautiful wooded atmosphere right on the Wasatch front with picturesque Mountains. It truly is a gem. Saw fun and friendly wildlife, a mommy and baby deer, frolicking squirrels that seemed domesticated actually. The home is rustically but also elegantly decorated with all the entertainment for adults, our 9 and 17 year old grandkids too - Pool table, air-hockey, private hot tub and a quiet gazebo to take in the outdoors and more The kitchen is nicely stocked with cooking and meal prep needs too! The kids room is so fun, with a light show projector… (picture below)Our host Emma, was delightful and always quick to respond. I Will definitely definitely stay again when visiting the area, we loved this stay and property. The James Family.

Not as expected.
Pros:The home and area were beautiful and clean.The pool table, ice hockey, dart board were fun.Cons:The property is actually the basement of a house where people live. The only separation between the basement and the living areas upstairs was a folding room divider that was held in place by a bar stool and some sort of padlock which was a little shocking upon first sight. Definitely not shown in the pictures. The kitchen was not a full kitchen. There is an electric hot plate for cooking and a toaster oven. The fridge is not full size. There was food leftover in the fridge and there were dishes in the dishwasher. The book said there were portable heaters in the closets of the 3 bedrooms. There was only one portable heater and the 3rd bedroom did not have a closet. Communication was a little slow. All in all, the place was nice and while pictures were mostly accurate, the above details seem to be specifically left out of the listing. We would not have rented it had we known all the details but it was fine.

wonderful property, excellent location for skiing
Emma's place was perfect for our family ski trip with 18 and 22 year olds, the pool table got tons of use from our 22 year old and the location close to the mouth of Little Cottonwood was terrific for skiing. The appliances, fixtures, and furnishings all felt high end, decor was fun and eclectic, the hot tub was great, and Emma was very helpful and communicative. We liked the quiet setting in a neighborhood. Kitchen was well equipped (counter top over was fine), and everything was very clean. Would definitely stay again. Thank you!

Okay, but had some issues
Typically any minor issues I ignore and just let the Owner know privately. But when, for the first time you get a damage Bill, and you do not feel is fair , and Host ignores you, and just charges the card. In fairness, Emma was very friendly and helpful in every other respect, fixes all the small issues as they came upProperty Pro'srelatively cheap, especially if you have more than 4, okay location, quiet, the 2 bedrooms with queens are nicely decked out, the Pool table is great.Consthe bunk room beds are blow up mattress, so are the trundles, The kitchen is really smalll to cater for 7, the fridges are too small for 7, you basically have to shop every day. Concerns.No Instruction Book could be found, normally it's on the countertop, (we found it on the last day under a bench of other paperwork in a draw, Not checkout instructions.There is no egress in the Bunkroom, so if there a fire in the hall, no escape we could see. BBQ gas bottle empty, no rubbish bags, No checkout instructions. Camera on Porch looking straight into living room.DamageSo we didn't tie down the Hot Tub Lid, Why. because we never have anywhere we've stayed, there was an extremely strong storm, the lid blew off. The owner referred to the very, very small sign at the base of the steps that nobody saw, 7 adults did not see it. All 7 of us including 3 engineers, 1 Doctor, 1 architect, did not see the sign located at ur feet, not where you would look as you got out.
