We had a wonderful stay here for a girls weekend, celebrating our friend’s upcoming wedding. Communication with the team in advance of our stay was excellent; they provided many recommendations for us when I let them know a few things we were hoping to do. Being in a more remote area than we are used to, the house really was the destination (we only left for dinner out our last night). It had everything and more we could have hoped for (stocked pantry, all the kitchen gadgets, icemaker at the bar, streaming on the tvs, pool floats and toys, towel hooks out at the hot tub, glassware and even a dishwasher downstairs – which we forgot about but could see how it’d be helpful). One highlight was that there were more than enough pool towels for our group and it was a bonus that they dried so quickly when hung up in the pool area. The house is warm – despite turning the heat off essentially, it was still quite warm, so just be mindful of that when packing. The only way downstairs is a circular staircase, which did make lugging most of our things down there cumbersome, but once we figured out we could load everything in through the foyer and then take it directly outside down the deck and in through the slider by the hot tub, we were fine. We just were conscious of the dirt from the driveway on our shoes so we made piles by the doors and went from there. It also probably wouldn’t be an issue for other groups necessarily, but we were bringing things to set up a margarita bar and snacks etc to be downstairs. Be sure to use everything the house has to offer! People enjoyed the sauna in addition to the pool and hot tub, and the movie theater was awesome – there’s a microwave downstairs and popcorn bowls too! Some of the group with better shoes (there was a lot of snow on the ground) trekked out to the covered bridge and loved that too. We wanted to support local business as much as possible and so we set a meeting point at Sud’s Pub – the food was better than typical bar food. We got take home and heat meals from the Good Food Store, and had a fantastic dinner out at The Elizabeth, which is our friend’s name, so we had to try it and were so glad we did! We also had the Mountain View Massage team come to the house and give massages which were hands down the best massages we’ve had. We cannot recommend them enough! I appreciate all the details that went in to welcoming our group for a long weekend. Would love to stay again for a longer time!
