Steamboat Villa

The location of this house is close to downtown and very convenient. However, there were many challenges with the house. The furniture did not match photo expectations. The kitchen table and chairs are different than the pictures, with the chairs showing significant grime and wear. Upon arrival, the dishwasher was not working. After filing a service complaint, the dishwasher was fixed 2 days later. The gas stovetop is dangerous. The knobs are broken and/or do not turn in the correct indicator positions. This made cooking stressful. The refrigerator door does not seal properly and there is tape holding the gasket on the door. The ceiling fan in the MBR does not work, and there are not enough fans for each room (which is needed since there is no AC). The remote control for the DVD player was missing batteries (making the DVD player unusable) which was not discovered until movie night was starting, which was disappointing. The family room recliners were nice. Renters are only allotted 2 parking spots, so there was occasionally an unknown car parked next to the front door using the other available spot. The front door lock was unusable for a day because the lock battery went dead. Cleanliness: While the indoor cleanliness was acceptable, the outdoor areas were filthy and unusable. The outdoor front entry area was covered in leaves and debris and had not been swept or prepared for our stay. The outdoor back patio off the kitchen was completely unuseable and an eyesore. It was covered in leaves, debris, and tall weeds. There was a running hose into a non-working water feature that you had to step over to get the grill. But the grill was beyond filthy with caked on food remnants and had obviously not been cleaned in a significant amount of time based on the char remnants. There were old dirty towels laying on the chair cushions, which were also filthy. The patio table was unuseable because the umbrella was broken and drooping over the table and chairs. The second floor porch over the entrance was covered in dirt and pollen. The kitchen plates, silver wear, and glasses were filthy/greasy when first pulled out to be used and all had to be hand washed before they could be used. Overall, this house did not meet expectations for the premium price point.

We loved staying at the steamboat villa! Everything was super clean when we arrived. The kitchen had everything we needed for snacks, meals, and breakfast in the morning. We stayed in the winter and so we were not sure how the free bus system worked - and found out that the free bus to the mountain was only 1 block from the house - it was super easy going to ski and coming back from ski. We LOVED how close the house was/is to all shops and restaurants on the main street. Movie nights, comfy beds, and great skiing - we had a wonderful stay and would stay again!

5 minute walk to the city bus to get to the slopes Comfortable house, good wifi, comfortable beds, nice kitchen and seating area. Kitchen could use updated pots/pans and other amenities, and a better coffee maker--but that's really nitpicking. What's there is good enough.

Very spacious, clean and great location!

Very convenient to restaurants, shopping, river activities, etc. Local owner and very responsive. Great for a family or couples.
