Didn't want to leave it was so nice

We had three generations of our family staying from ages 6 to 65 and this house was perfect for us. It was so clean and the views are spectacular. It was also so close to the trails and Deerfield Lake which so convenient. We drove our side-by-sides everyday and loved hoping on the trails so close to the Alpine Lodge.
