I started managing vacation rentals as a side gig to my fulltime career. Over the years I have been able to design a standard for management like no other. When you hire Watchful Eye Caretaking & Property Management, LLC you hire experience. I didn't start this during Covid. I will be here after the novelty has worn off for the people that did. I am honest and upfront. I have worked hard to get where I am. The owners of properties I manage become like family. I get birth announcements, wedding invitations etc. If you want someone that can handle everything related to your short term rental give me a call. I will not manage properties that the owners want to manage and just have me available for guests and set up cleanings. WE ARE NOT A CLEANING SERVICE! I hire my own cleaners and train them and they only clean houses I manage so if its a cleaning service you are looking for I am not for you.

Guests have access to everything this home has to offer

I am local and available as needed

Being in the woods means you may encounter wildlife and insects—it’s all part of the natural beauty here. Occasionally, small critters like mice may try to find their way inside, but we take proactive measures to keep them out. Some guests prefer traps, while others don’t; if traps are set, they’re discreetly placed. As for bugs, they are a part of outdoor life—bug spray is recommended from spring through fall, and ticks are present year-round, so always check after spending time outside. If you’re bringing a pet, please ensure they are on a preventative treatment.

Weather here can be unpredictable, with snow, ice, rain, and mud depending on the season. We do our best to keep paths clear, but nature sometimes has its own plans. Rock salt helps in winter, but in extreme cold, ice can refreeze. The driveway is plowed after 3-5 inches of snow, but timing depends on road conditions and the plow schedule. If a storm is expected, please park close together to allow for plowing. AWD vehicles with good tires are required for our region. 

We appreciate your understanding and hope you enjoy the peaceful beauty of the mountains!

We allow one pet under 40lbs. they must be on the reservation and the pet fee must be paid at time of booking. If over 40lbs or more than one pet prior approval is needed. Additional fees may apply. Pets must be picked up after outside. Pets are not allowed on furniture or beds.

Beautiful house, warming up by the fireplace and the sauna and hot tub were perfect after each day of skiing.  Friendly and responsive host.  Will be our first choice next time we go.

This property was absolutely beautiful!! Initially we were supposed to be a party of six, but unfortunately, due to the weather the other members of our family weren’t able to get here. But there was more than enough room for everyone if they were to have come ! The hosts did not miss a single detail. The home is gorgeous and has every possible thing you could need. The hot tub and sauna were incredible. 
The host was extremely helpful and very quick to respond when we had questions. 
This was by far one of my favorite properties we have stayed!! We will be recommending to friends and family traveling to this area.
Thank you for sharing your peaceful, super comfortable and amazing home with us! We look forward to returning in the future~🏼~
