This property was better than advertised. The home was well-maintained and had a lot of amenities. The location was private and peaceful. Our hosts had, by far, the best communication of any VRBO we have stayed at. 6 out of 5 stars!

The house was perfect for our group of 10 — 4 kids, 6 adults. There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out — the kids loved the lower level and the loft, and we spent a lot of time outside on the deck. The house is located in a quiet wooded area. We would definitely stay here again — Jenna was a super attentive host and ready to help.

Our experience was great. We booked the house to use for a pastoral staff retreat. The house was great as a meeting place as well as being conveniently located close to area activities. Jenna was always prompt and clear with communication. I would definitely book here again without reservation.

We had an incredible stay at this beautiful A-frame retreat! The home was spotless, cozy, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed. The location is amazing- so close to the lifts, which made ski days effortless. My favorite part was starting each morning in the comfy leather chair in the loft, sipping coffee while looking out the stunning A-frame windows at the snow-covered trees. It felt peaceful and completely serene- a true retreat away from it all. We can't wait to come back!
