Reviews
Skylar
We had an absolutely fantastic time at The Howling at the Moon cabin! It was perfectly located about 10 minutes or so from Main Street in downtown, which was such a cute little place to go shopping and eat at. It was also super close to sugar mountain so skiing was about a 20 minute zip up the mountain. The interior of the home was unbelievable! The sunrise and sunsets over the mountains were like a dream! We also really enjoyed all of the amenities they added into the game rooms and the outdoor deck spa area ? Thanks again! We can't wait to book our next trip to Howling at the Moon!
