Loved the house. So clean. Location was perfect for my family. Honestly loved it. I would say that the mention of a creek probably shouldn't be part of the description; the "creek" was a muddy trickle with a steep bank so not really a viable option for children to play in, as I had hoped. That's my only criticism because the house was well stocked, beautiful, clean and inviting. Very happy with our choice!

Home was the perfect location to ski and ice fish and warm and wonderful to come back to after a day in the cold. We loved the fireplace, and the kitchen amenities were well stocked. House was clean and perfect for the 6 of us - including 2 children. Host was communicative and helpful upon arrival.

What a wonderful time we had staying here! The house was just as pictured and very clean! We visited the area for skiing at Gunstock and you honestly can’t get any closer to the mountain - it was perfect! Alex was so accommodating as a host and was responsive to all our needs! Will be back again in the future!
