Fun vacation
We loved this clean house. It was fully equipped. Full kitchen, bathrooms had everything. It was nicely decorated. Our only issue was that there was no porch to sat on. Also, the nearlby snow place (5 min away) was closed so we had to drive 30-40 min to get somewhere.

Chalet Experience
Extremely clean. Adult son said, "this is the best kid friendly rental ever!" Saw a bear on property on two different days. Used firepit and BBQ every day, very easy. Great floorplan for multigenerational gatherings. However, no woodburning stove for winter months. The second oven is not functional which would make Thanksgiving stays more difficult.

Great home, restrictive check-out time
Beautiful, spacious home and location. Fully stocked with all the amenities. The foam beds were welcome by some, not so much by others. I found them comfortable, others found them too hard. Overall a delightful stay.

Great for our Family!
We stayed here comfortably with 8 Adults, 2 kids, and 2 infants. The house was well set up for little ones and had lots of toys and kids items like cribs and hiking packs. The year round creek was undersold, such a nice feature of the house on a hot summer day!

Unique house
Nice location near trails in Homewood. Roomy house. Bathrooms small. Very steep staircase to main level makes it hard for seniors to enjoy. Access to patio and grill area not convenient. Very clean and well equipped.
