The pluses: Gorgeous views and a great location. Bright and cheery spaces. Comfortable large beds for all. Nicely furnished common room and well-appointed kitchen. The elevator was a huge plus for a mobility challenged elder, and the hot tub was very nice after hiking. Sinks, ovens, and stovetop were fine for meal prep. The ping pong table saw some friendly competition.
The minuses: if you don't think mice are cute, this is not the house for you. The house is riddled with them as demonstrated by the droppings that appear overnight, the pitter patter of races in the walls overnight, the bright-eyed pinyon mouse who peeps out from behind the TV periodically, the frantic efforts of the one caught in a live trap hidden in my room, and the smell of decay from a downstairs storage space that must also be filled with traps and their victims. The appliances need attending to: dishwasher was impossible to load and run properly until we found rack wheels in a drawer and fixed it ourselves. The dryer took multiple cycles to dry even a small load. The freezer constantly leaked cold water on the floor. The decorative outdoor stream doesn't work (leaks through the liner) and there is an underground beehive across from the front door.
All that said, we are patient people and we had an excellent visit together. Please fix these items so others can enjoy the Pinnacle too.
