I can be reached through email, text, phone or through Airbnb messaging system. I do my best to respond within minutes and try not to be very far from access to communication tools if you have any questions.

I will email a guideline and information packet prior to your arrival which will help answer questions you may have about the property and help to make your arrival and stay smooth and enjoyable. Please be respectful of the noise level for neighbors.
We are `well trained` dog-friendly as well! We ask for a 2 dog limit, under 50 lbs, no barkers. We ask that you practice our `4 on the floor` policy. No pets in or on beds, or furnishings as we do have guests who have pet allergies. Please clean up after your pet as well when doing their outside business. If you do have to leave the dog while you are staying, we ask that dogs are kenneled at that time. Under no circumstances are dogs to be left unattended in the home. This is of course to ensure there is no damage caused by the dog. We understand that it can be scary and uncertain for them to be in an unfamiliar place. Thanks for your cooperation!

Perfect house to stay while visiting family. Only issue was dryer not working.
Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2026
Response from VrboOwner on 16 July 2026
We were in the process of getting the dryer repaired and found out it needed to be replaced. A new dryer is now in the home. Thank you for being so patient and gracious.
The location was great and the host had a nice welcome package and was very responsive. It was clean. The only reason I did not give it five stars was because I did not realize the bathroom was not on the same level as the bedrooms. I knew one bathroom was in the basement, but if you have mobility issues, you might want to take this in consideration. Also make sure you bring soap and shampoo/conditioner which is normally provided. I thought the price was very good and the house was well equipped for long term stays for younger people.
Clean! Well equipped for home meals and cooking!! Enjoyed the sauna after a day of skiing and snow! Perfect for 2 moms and 4 boys on their winter break ski trip! Bathroom in basement was a little dirty but that was easy to sweep up.
