Gem-Mt. Olympus Retreat - Close to Canyons & City

Place has possibilities but needs work. Positive: The layout of the property is good. The host was very responsive. We were short on washcloths and they brought some very quickly. Negative: This property is well used and could actually be quite stunning if it had a little facelift. There are several places where there have been water leaks, and the paint is peeling from the walls. The coffee maker in the kitchen is an ancient and didn’t work at all the glass stove top has had stuff boiled over on it numerous times and has never been adequately cleaned.

Was a good confortable stay for all 5-8 people at one time with visits from nearby family members Positive: How clean and roomy it was, beds were great too!.

The house is in a great location for skiing and ease to the airport. If you are just using it to crash for skiing it works well. As a house to actually stay and enjoy, it is not that. It is old and run down. The walls have chips and cracks. The walls and doors are dirty and even had finger prints on the doors. The picture of the main room is not as advertised. There are covers on the furniture. There only TV room is in the basement. The beds are old and not comfortable. This house definitely needs so attention.

I hate writing negative reviews, however, this property has some significant issues that others need to know about. For starters, the downstairs bathroom and larger bedroom have a ceiling height of 5 ft 10 in. The whole house was run down. There really isn't a single 5 star quality of the home other than the price. Blood stains on sheets, dirty dishes, old carpet/furniture, etc. I'd definitely look at other options. FYI, the pictures are really good. Unfortunately, these are not accurate.

I was surprised there is a broken electrical switch at the top of the stairs, and the master bathroom toilet runs until you remove the tank cover to reset the seal ( about half the time ), and the bunk bedroom ceiling light flashes for a while after you shut it off. You must be careful to straighten the legs on the 2 living room chairs, before sitting down, for fear they will fail. Overall, we were satisfied with every thing else, and would stay with you again. Thank you
