Reviews
Priska
This home is very well equipped for a large family. Each bedroom has extra sitting space, so a long stay feels plenty comfortable. The furniture and amenities are well kept up, and the place was very clean. The location is convenient, and the mountain was east enough to access in the snow. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

Things you need to know
Firewood may be added by reaching out to us more than a week in advance. You get two wrapped bundles and a firestarter for $25+tax/night.
Being newer construction, this property does not offer GPS directions. Turn-by-turn directions will be provided.
The property is set up for light housekeeping, including linens and towels. We provide a STARTER SET of toilet tissue, paper towels, bath toiletries, dish soap, and trash bags. This is enough for one or two nights, but if you are staying for an extended length of time, you should plan to bring some supplies from home or plan to purchase these items at a grocery store when you arrive.
We provide one towel and washcloth per person that each respective house accommodates, plus a few extra towels if there is a hot tub. The beds are made up with clean linens (except bunks, sleepers, and futons, but linens are provided on site). If you routinely use two towels after bathing, you may need to bring some of your own.
This home comes equipped with a basic set of cookware, sufficient plates & silverware for the occupancy of the home, and basic serving and baking dishes. Most homes do not have unusual items such as crockpots or blenders, so if you’re planning a dish that requires an unusual item, it is best to bring that from your home.
This home is not stocked with cooking oils or spices, hairdryers, condiments, coffee, coffee filters, or food storage items, including plastic wrap or foil.
