The house was incredible. Beautiful, spacious new home with plenty of room for our family and friends. The location was beautiful. It was at the end a mountain road off the main highway overlooking a large field and wooded area. The house was fully stocked and had anything and everything we would need for a great time in the winter or summer. We sledded down the driveway with the kids, used the hot tub frequently which was a nice perk. I would highly recommend this house to any large group and I would LOVE to return again one day. We were close, about a 10 minute drive, from the Angel Fire Resort and base of the ski mountain. The parking is easy at the resort.
I would say that 4 wheel drive is needed during the winter mainly if it snows a lot, mainly to get out of the driveway which has a decent pitch . . It snowed a ton the day before we left, and I had our 2 wheel drive up on the top side of the driveway (about 30 yards from the house). There was a huge snow plow came through on the main road to the highway which helped a ton. I got down fine with 2 wheel drive, just being cautious and driving slowly. Either way, this would not deter me at all from renting this house but should be noted.
Also to note the house is at around 9500 feet elevation, for reference the ski mountain is 8500 feet.
