Please be advised that there was a leak on the 1st floor coming in from usage from the bathroom, the leak is very close to the beds, 3 beds could not be used. The bathroom could not be used!!! This leak apparently has been there for a while and not been addressed. Fridge had a sign that it was due for maintenance and did not work, washer and dryer same not working and had a sign due for maintenance. Hot tub be very careful has an issue with the electrical circuit!!! Do not go in as it has not been calibrated and could shock. I was advised this from the property manager after I asked why the water was dirty and not been cleaned!!! I was told that they would credit for the trouble but did not!!! Be careful with this one. We had 14 people and only had access to one bathroom and no laundry facilities. Also no heat on 2nd floor.

We rented this property with the hope of using the washer and dryer but they were broken and unusable. One of the fridge was not working as well and the unit was not cleaned properly prior to our arrival. The carpet was not vacuumed, and there was mold in the joints where the kitchen sink was joined to the countertop. Additionally, there were Solo cups with names written on them in the cabinets which led us to believe that they were just rinsed and put back when in face they should have been discarded. The dishwasher had wet dishes in them too. We raised a complaint with Vacasa and they did refund some money back but the living experience was not great.

Staycation
Overall, we really love the house in Girdwood. There were a few things that could be improved upon. We had no hand soap, not enough towels, not enough toilet paper, and the washer and dryer were out of service and appear to have been for the last two years since the last time that we rented this house. This is an amazing house for a large group like ours. We had 5 adults and 10 children. The kids really enjoyed the hang out space on the first floor. The top floor is open and spacious enough for everybody to hang out while cooking, or play group games.

Leak in ceiling
There was a leak in the ceiling, coming from the 2nd floor bathroom. When I called to report the leak I was sent to Vacasa’s corporate line and no one came to check on anything. The house needs some maintenance and it seems as though the owners do not care.

Too ough and not really ready
We’ve stayed in large houses rented for groups of our friends on ski vacations and have rented a wide range of accommodations in the United States and abroad. Chateau Cervin, while adequate, ranks at the bottom of the list of accommodations, at least if you take the owners at their word and fill the place up. First, it’s old and in need of an upgrade. Everything from beds to fixtures, to the kitchen is about a generation out of style, and a bit tatty. We actually fix most of our meals at the house, and the kitchen equipment is mostly outdated and inadequate. A knife sharpener, or some sharp knives, would have been a nice touch. The organization of the structure is unusual and inconvenient. The living quarters are all on the second and third floors, and the game room, largely unutilized, is the entry room. The foosball table is a nice addition, but it’s missing men that would make it usable. The pool table is in poor repair. The hot tub, an older model whose jets don’t work, is downstairs, in front, so that you’re on view getting in and out, and your own view is of the driveway. It would have been nice if the door to the bathroom in the master bedroom latched and didn’t swing open when you were using the facilities. Chateau Cervin is like a lot of ski rentals – fixed up just enough so that it can be rented, but not actually fixed up. We’re a pretty rough and ready group, but Chateau Cervin was a little too rough and not really ready.

Perfect for a big group
This place offers ample space for a large group, and we particularly enjoyed the amenities like the pool table and spacious kitchen. However, it's worth noting that one of the bedrooms on the third floor has an opening into the living room. This design may allow noise from the living room to travel into the bedroom. Therefore, it's ideal for someone comfortable with potential noise disturbances, they basically have to be a night owl and an early riser. We didn't use the hot tub, so I can't speak if it was working or not. Overall, I would stay there again.

Definitely needs some upkeep
Overall clean house, linens and towels. Plenty of room for everyone. Now the bad. House was set to 55 degrees prior to arrival and only 1 of the 2 stoves you're supposed to supplement heat with worked and only in a very small space (about 5sq ft). The hottub (a selling point) did not work and was found to be tripping its own breaker. 2 of the 3 showers leak. 1 onto the floor and into the ceiling of the bathroom below it. The other in the ensuite has a crack in the shower floor; it and the toilet both are leaking into the downstairs gaming room (garage), we laid towels down to catch the drips below the ceiling damage. Dishwasher still out of service (that's ok, we can hand wash), some drawers and many lights were broken/not functioning. Some leftover goodies in one of the toliets. A tired house with minimal upkeep, no one is sneaking around in this house. If 1 person is up, everyone is.

Disappointing
No TV due to not updating after cable was no longer available and the two DVDs didn’t work either. Management agent came the 2nd day & replaced the DVDs, and hooked up a Roku on one of the TVs. Foosball table & slot machine are broken. Additional fees were excessive, nearly doubled the nightly rate. House is dated and a disappointment in comparison to the price. Decorative bricks at front door are heaved/uneven & several in our party tripped and fell.

Nice place, needs updating and TLC
It was a nice e ouch place and the kids had fun. But some things were wrong that I am surprised the cleaning crew just ignored. Multiple lights are out, especially in the bathrooms. The door to the kitchen cabinet holding cleaning supplies did not close. It was a trip hazard and a safety hazard if you had young kids. We tied it shut with plastic wrap. The propane for the grill was empty. That happens and they offered to reimburse us to replace it, but a curveball while in the middle of making dinner. An extra should be kept. Finally the handrails going from the second to third floors are loose and unsteady. The foosball table is so broken as to be useless. Communicating with Vacasa was easy and they even went to go look For a lost item for us. Overall, nice beds, the kids likes the hot tub and had fun. But the house needs some renovations are more care by the cleaning crew.

Not anywhere near what is advertised on line. Talk to Vacasa. Dirty carpet, husband had to fix the disposal, there was a blender blade in it. Had to go buy paper plates as unable to use dishwasher due to disposal. Fireplace on third level doesn’t work. We were cold. Blinds broken in bedroom as well as closet door. We were grossed out and would not stay or recommend this rental. It’s obviously for people that don’t care where they lay their head. Seven calls to their customer service and no action. We were duped. . There is a fly problem as well as cobwebs. Carpet on third floor was discussting.the list goes on.

Good place, poor manager
Overall, we had a good trip. If you have a large group this place could do well for you. There is a room on the bottom with four single beds that would be great for a group of kids. It has a two kitchens (small kitchen second floor, main kitchen on top/third floor). We had lots of room and the table was good for games. The place was clean and the beds were good. In addition to that multiple bed kids room, there are 4 other bedrooms. Our biggest problem was with communication. I tried emailing and texting starting two days BEFORE our visit. Contacted manager each day of our visit. I never once received a response of any kind. They also ask that you take your trash with you. Not to a dumpster a short walk away either, but to one far enough you need to drive. For our visit, the internet did not work which hampered some of our plans. The foosball table in the pictures is not playable if you are competitive. Some missing pieces or ones with no legs, and a missing handle. I was looking forward to foosball. We did not try the pool table. The hot tub worked and was nice, but I wish it had a better view than the driveway. So no internet, no foosball, and no communication knocked a pretty nice place down to 3 stars.
