Enjoyed our Stay

Overall, the cabin suited our stay. The cabin lacks central heating and has a lot of glass windows, so the first morning was freezing cold, but it took us a couple of days to figure out how to balance out all of the space heaters to fully heat the place. After that the place was cozy and comfortable. We lost our Wi-Fi for a few hours one morning, but it came back somehow. There's no cell service, so the Wi-Fi is essential.

Enjoyed the Rustic A-Frame

Rustic? Yes. Great Location? Yes. Affordable? Yes. Ours was a group of three old men who have been coming to ski at TSV for over 25+ years. We've stayed at prob 10 -15 locations throughout the valley (at base, in valley, in town). Based on my experience, for the proximity to the resort, this is good affordable option. Everything in the cabin worked as advertised. Previous reviews mentioned issues with hot water. We had zero issues with the hot water. Plenty of hot water (on demand) during our stay. This was an enjoyable experience for us and the other old dudes in the group said they would be happy to stay there again.

Issues

TLDR: good location but issues with water and owner so better off staying anywhere else I’ll start by saying that we accidentally booked the wrong weekend. Owner said no cancel + refund because it was too close to the dates. That was understandable, and our problem, so we decided to come anyways and took the time off. The owner seems to believe our water issues were part of a grand conspiracy to get a refund. Upon arriving late at night, we had no water in the cabin. This was problematic because the closest store still open was around 30 mins away. We tried messaging the owner through the app to no avail. The next morning we awoke to a message from her stating that we had to flip the switch on the breaker to turn on the water pump. She had apparently left a voicemail earlier in the day prior, but I did not see it because I don’t answer calls from numbers I don’t recognize as I am constantly bombarded with sales calls - I also did not see her voicemail. She did not communicate through the app or leave any indication at the house that this pump needed to be turned on. So we turned on the pump - it worked for all of 10 minutes before stopping. This was not fixed until later that day. Then, once the pump started working, there was no hot water. 2 in our group took cold showers. The next day the owner called us liars and that the water worked fine. We decided to check out 1 day early as a result as we wanted to take hot showers and didn’t want to deal with her.

Overpriced underwhelming

Looking for a overpriced place without hot water? This is the place for you. This was our rough experience in January of 2024, no working water the first 2 nights of our stay and no hot water the remainder. The host's response was "boil water for a tub" no thank you that'd take 6 hours. Very disappointed with the hospitality of the host. Luckily we're used to dry cabins backcountry skiing which was what our trip amounted to. You can probably do better, elsewhere.

Not what I expected

To start they don’t mention the narrow small bridge turn off highway. The place was grown OVER like a jungle and had NOT been taken care off. Pic depicted a nice cabin by the stream. I would say its just a little less than that. Window in/on loft where we had wanted to sleep and listen to the creek was sealed over so you could not let any heat out of the shack/cabin or listen to the outside stream. Front or side or both entry are a little sketchy on the build. I have pic if anyone wants to see the truth of if it all. Bbrad3 at ya hoo!
