We arrived at the scheduled check in time, armed with access instructions and ALL the excitement, only to find that the furnace was broken and the house was just over 40 degrees inside. A quick call to the owner, who immediately contacted the property manager, and we had a maintenance person there within an hour. Unfortunately, the furnace required parts that weren’t available until the next day, so they brought us space heaters and promised to return the next day. After a pretty miserable night trying to keep 12 people warm around the fire and under blankets the unit was fixed around noon the next day. From there on out it was smooth sailing and we truly enjoyed our time in Angel Fire. LOTS of snow, great skiing and comfortable accommodations for the rest of our trip. The only thing I think is worth mentioning for future guests is that while the “path” to the ski slope isn’t very far, it is VERY steep and difficult to navigate, especially in ski boots. We ended up driving down the mountain to the lifts with my 3 year old granddaughter because she absolutely couldn’t make that climb, and I almost couldn’t do it either. I’m sure this was more difficult than normal because of the 12+ inches of snow that had fallen right before we got there, but I don’t think it would be an easy walk even with no snow on the ground.
Kitchen was well equipped, the view was spectacular and the home itself was lovely. Beds were very uncomfortable but the room arrangements were nice.
