Host was very accessible when questions arose. Property was well maintained and nice place to escape for some quiet and to allow the family a place to sleep in between skiing. Also loved that there were places for the grandson to play outside and in.

Enjoyed our stay! Lots of space for our group of 6 adults. The location was wonderful for everything we wanted to do. Lighting overall was too soft and could benefit from white lights in lieu of yellow. A postive experience and would stay again.

My group staying here for a week in September had a wonderful stay in this beautiful home. We came for R&R, to enjoy the changing color of the aspen leaves, and experience the bugling elk during their rut season. It was a perfect week! The home is very comfortable and equipped with anything you could possibly need. We hope to come back next fall.
