Good Location to Skiing - House Needed Maintenance

The location is great to Purgatory where we had a day of skiing. There were a number of issues within the property that needed repair and replacements, such as a broken couch in the main living area, a missing TV remote in one of the bedrooms and light bulbs that needed replacements including one up in the ceiling that was unaccessible without a ladder. Property management company responded quickly when issues were addressed - however we should have been told of the damaged couch prior to check in and despite being told that housekeeping said TV remote was there and all bulbs were working in the house when they cleaned that was not the case and should not have to replace light bulbs when only staying for two nights. They did give us a refund of 50.00 which was the right thing to do. We just hope that these issues will be fixed for next guests.
