The property was well stocked with all of the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. There were amenities for our dog and games for our daughter. The property was well situated close to downtown, grocery stores, shopping, restaurants and recreational activities such as Highland Outpost (snow tubing and mountain coaster), Dry Falls and more. We highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing mountain vacation or outdoor adventure.
