Basque Lodge- Ski Shuttle to Lifts- Pet Friendly- Gym and Pool Access

It's a lovely home that easily accommodated our multi generational family. The kitchen is recently remodeled and has more supplies than expected. A listing of supplies would have been helpful. There are large soup pots, cookie sheets, pie and cake pans, pretty much anything you would hope to find. There's a sledding hill behind the property. There weren't sleds or saucers provided but fortunately we brought our own. The living room could use a larger chandelier. The ceiling is dark wood and the room needs more light. The four thermostats are also complicated for a rental. The shuttle that stops at the bottom of the driveway is very convenient. We had a wonderful stay and would stay here again.

Our family of 4 generations, 9 persons, stayed for 11 nights and found the house to be just the right size and fabulously well equiped for a family of cooks....The excellent. The house was clean, but not to a very high standard, for instance the caroets were dirty sbd the upholstery had residual odors....The good. Communicatikn wuth the manager is awful. The manager did not return calls, had no idea how the house was equiped so we brought cooking equipment and supplies that were unnecessary, which completely obfiscated the benefit of the owner:s effort to outfit the house. There is slso a fair amount of unfinished and deferred maintenance.... the poor.

Pros: the house itself was clean, kitchen is well-stocked and updated, lots of space, shuttle to Northstar that comes to front door is very convenient. Cons: while the two en-suite bedrooms in upper levels are nice the entire bottom floor (where other 3 bedrooms are) is pretty bleak - very dark, sparsely lit/furnished/decorated, musty smell. The old day bed and bunk beds are not anything anyone would choose to sleep on. (Two of our teens slept upstairs on sofas instead.) The few spare blankets in the house smelled musty. Outside of the kitchen, everything is the bare minimum - as few towels, pillows, blankets, etc as you can get away with, cheapest TP you can buy, ancient washer/dryer, everything dated and worn and a little sad. It served it’s purpose but definitely feels like a rental, nothing more. A little sprucing up would go a long way in this house.
