Reviews
Ronald
Beautiful setting and house was clean and comfortable. We cooked Thanksgiving dinner here and kitchen was well equipped. Not enough snow for Sugar Mt to open so didn't get to snowboard, but enjoyed the hot tub! Saw deer every morning coming down the mountain behind the house while eating breakfast. A great week!
