family ski trip
This house was amazing-- extremely clean, organized and uncluttered. More beds than we needed for a family of 5. 2 kitchens available. Hosts were very attentive. House was cozy and even had a Christmas tree. Hot tub was clean and very large. There is a shuttle to the resort but the walk is about 8 min. We found it easier to have one person drop off and pick up everyone and equipment, and then that person could just walk to the car. We stayed across from lift last year, but this house is much nicer and we would return to this one instead in the future.

Great place for a group
Very comfortable, pretty location. It was useful having the two kitchens, as we used both ovens and dishwashers to feed a large group. We enjoyed the hot tub and had several moose that slept in the back yard. We hope to stay there again.

An amazing stay!
Emily & Alex are the most friendly and responsive hosts you could ask for. Their cabin is incredibly well stocked with amenities galore, which made it that much easier for my wife and I to celebrate our marriage with our party members. Thank you so much for providing such a wonderful place! 10/10 would stay again in a heartbeat!
