Well run. Clean and nice place. One bed did not have sheets changed since someone slept in it - but I assume it was an oversight.

We had a lovely time. The cabin was well-equipped (although I would recommend a Keurig type coffee maker), the beds were comfortable and it was very nice to have a hot tub to get into at night. We will be back!

The proximity to the village and ski resort was really nice. Only took 3-10mins to get to either destination. The cabin was clean, updated and very comfortable. The host responded to our questions promptly. A couple of minor things to update that would go a long way. 1. Add blinds to the skylights in the upstairs bedroom. Not a deal killer but would be nice to have. Also, some of the pans are pretty old.
