We stayed in the Tripod Rock House 39 the first week of August. The home was beautiful and in such a lovely setting. Waking up to spectacular sunrises over Cascade lake was a peaceful change to hearing the roar of traffic out my home bedroom window back in the lovely state capital of Utah.
The house was well supplied, although the first day in the kitchen was comparative to a scavenger hunt. The cleaning crew had no organizational skills in putting the dishes away prior to our arrival. We had to open every drawer and cabinet to find what we needed.
Our group has stayed at MANY other vacation properties and this one had NO "left behind" food staples or spices. We literally had coffee, sugar and creamer for the days we were there. We had prepared for that by bringing our own food supplies, but there were NO spices at all in the house except salt and pepper.
After 3 men in our group tried to figure out the TV and DVD player, this WOMAN figured out the process of turning on the receiver to engage the other devices. Go figure ;-) Additional instructions could have alleviated that 20 minute exploration process.
Not sure where all of the screens were for the upstairs windows, but needing to circulate some cool air through the rooms was challenging since we wanted to keep the bugs out.
It was a great stay and our finale was a little two point buck strutting through the back yard flashing his velvet antlers. He took the time to say hello to us the last evening of our stay. read more
