Very nice place and lots of room! Plus have plenty of games. And have everything you need, shampoo, dish soap, everything. The host was very quick at responding to questions before we got there. Very helpful. It was a nice perk to be able to park in the garage since it snowed. We wanted to snowmobile but trails were closed. Maybe next year!!

Thank you so much. Let’s hope your luck with the snow changes next year. It was a pleasure conversing with you about our local hangouts!
