Great access to ski area. Perfect for groups or large families.

Ski lift & ticket office is easily walkable. Super clean. Only the WiFi kept this from a 5* rating... very slow so we couldn’t stream videos for the kids in the evenings.

Ski Weekend

This was our second time staying at this property. It fits our 3 families of 4 perfectly with room to spare. It's a one minute drive to the slopes! The house is equipped with everything you need for cooking at home and the beds are comfortable. It's so nice to have a dryer for all of our ski clothes and the huge bathtub was an added bonus after a long day of skiing. We will definitely be back.

Clean property with great location!

Great location at a good price! It’s dated but very clean and well maintained. It has a great open living space and comfortably fit 6 adults and 6 kids! One min drive to the Tannebaum and Yodeler lodges (would have been a bit far to walk with kids and ski gear). Great view of the slopes. Vince was very responsive and great to deal with! We definitely enjoyed our last ski weekend of the season!

Great house for large group!

House was great size for our large group! Fireplace was very enjoyable and the view was beautiful. We chose to drive and park at Yodeler or Tanenbaum lodge as the walk, although doable, would have been quite a chore after a full day of skiing. Only complaint was that the linens could have been better stocked - need more blankets (only 3 in entire house) and dish towels were greatly missed when drying all our dishes! We hope to stay at Morningstar again.

Family Golf Outing

Nine of us stayed for a two day/night outing. Our first "snow free" visit to the area. The property and home were outstanding, and exactly as advertised. Tons of parking and very close to the resort and course. Would absolutely stay here again.

Family Ski Trip

We had 12 of us stay at this house. From a 4 year old to us in our 60s. Great place and great location. Very short drive to the slopes and nice view of the slopes. Plenty of dishes, silverware and cooking pans. The driveway is steep with a curve but both days it snowed it was clear by the time we came back from skiing. The house is homey and in good shape and nicely decorated. With little ones we did not want a place to fancy. Also nice touch, fresh flowers on the table. The next time we ski here we will try to get this place again.
