Reviews
Leigh
Our family had a wonderful time at this lovely home! It is immaculate, it's amazingly decorated, the kitchen is stocked with everything you need and it's just the perfect place for a mountain getaway. The hot tub was delightful in the evenings and the back deck with the incredible views was the place we spent the most time together. There is so much to do that is very close. Skiing, wineries, restaurants, and a very cool amphitheater on the side of the mountain. Highly recommend this home and we will certainly be back year after year!
