Ski week
House was very clean upon arrival and plenty of room for everyone. It had snowed one of the nights and the driveway was plowed in a timely manner. It was close to the mountain which was great especially after a long day of skiing. We really enjoyed our stay here and we will be sure to return.

Beautiful
Hi, we enjoyed this beautiful house for a gathering between family and friends for a bachelor party. It was a hot July weekend! We found local water holes to keep busy during the day and hung by the fire pit at night. The only downfall was no a/c on the first floor of the house, only upstairs bedrooms. We were unable to utilize the beautiful game room because of the temperature. Most rooms and sleeping arrangements were on the 1st floor due to our large party so, that would of made them a little bit more comfortable. Thanks for opening your home to us, we enjoyed it!
