We stayed one week for my son‘s wedding, which was at the Giants Ridge even Center. It was only about a half a mile so very accommodating.. We chose this Villa because of the size which was able to accommodate my son’s groomsmen on wedding day two get ready for the wedding in the lowest level room.. There was an upstairs deck and the downstairs patio, which was very accommodating for them as well.. The kitchen was well stocked, which was very appreciated as I had to prepare 350 cupcakes and a 12 layer wedding cake.. there was plenty of room for people to gather. There were plenty of tolls. The beds are comfortable… we stayed in this villa on the hottest week of the summer. It was 95 on several days and the air-conditioning was able to keep us cool.. The only drawback was the top floor, which had two twin beds and one double bed did not cool adequately and was quite warm. There was plenty of parking.. we were disappointed that there were no water toys, such as kayaks or news or float toys. You can rent kayaks or canoes from the office at the villas but because if you rent through Vrbo, you do have to pay a charge of 35 per hour, which was very surprising and disappointing to us.. the lake there is clear and clean. The beach is Large and accommodates many people and we used it every day due to the heat as well as every night. We had a fire and enjoyed our company. We would stay again.

Wonderful place to stay!

I can't say enough good things about this property. It was super convenient to Giant's Ridge for our ski vacation. Property was clean, kitchen was well stocked with utensils, plates, cookware...you name it. Plenty of sleeping options. Don't bring any games because there are plenty waiting for you downstairs. We will definitely be choosing this property for our next vacation up North!

Great property

Great property with everything we needed and then some. The extra touches of coffee and tea samples and games was wonderful. I also appreciated the short and realistic check out instructions (take garbage out, lock up everything, set thermostat back, start dishwasher). Simple. We had 8 adults and there was enough space but if you had any more it would be really tight. My only complaints would be the late check in time (5pm). Thankfully our property was ready and we were able to get in at 4pm but 5pm is later than any other rental. I also had to text/call a number in order to receive the check in information and code at least 2 hours prior to arrival; not a huge deal but a little odd.

Nice up north getaway

We enjoyed a very nice week at this clean, 'up north' feeling villa. We enjoyed the vicinity to the ski slopes, the electric sauana, and the spaces allowed for multiple sleepers. Would definitely come back! Thanks!

Perfect Family Vacation Spot

My husband and I stayed with our three sons (teens and 20s) and it was the perfect location. The Villa was a great size for our family. We were able to downhill and XC ski while we visited, and easily return to the Villa to rest and eat lunch.

Fine

We have been to this location several times, and this was our first time at this particular property. They sauna was nice, but the hot tub did not function properly (very poor jet propulsion). The main door lock malfunctioned, so we could not get in one afternoon until the property manager came and opened it for us. This took about 1 hour. However, the manager was very friendly and helpful, and we have no complaints in regards to them.

Fun getaway

Lots of activities to do, beautiful area. We loved the cabin, but the living room and kitchen was small for our group of 6 adults and 6 children. We loved the ski lift, the lake, and the pool and hot tubs.

Great place for family

Our family enjoyed every minute, all 13 of us! Some didn't stay the whole week but there was enough room for all. The kitchen was well equipped with a good sized fridge. We loved the lake.... fished, canoed, kayaked, portaged to Sabin Lake from Wynne Lake and rented a pontoon boat for two days from Rapid Rentals in Virginia. I was happy that the lake was not too big and not too small; calm enough to kayak in. Caught lots of fish! The little ones loved the playground. Rented bikes from the Lodge. Enjoyed the hot tub. Made great memories! Thanks!

Beautiful ski vacation

This is perfect place to vacation! Eight women went up for a ski vacation. The trails are perhaps the best in the state, and it was wonderful coming home to relax in the outdoor hot tub and indoor sauna! Shawn was excellent to work with and everything went without a hitch. Place was immaculate with a well-equipped kitchen and great views. Beds were comfy. We loved putting on our snow shoes and hiking across the lake to the Island. I recommend this place enthusiastically.

Girlfriend's getaway

Your place was perfect for a friend's getaway. Had everything we needed and more. Loved the sauna and hot tub experience! The kitchen had all the appliances and items we needed to cook our meals and plenty of space for us to hang and enjoy the company. Thank you for letting us stay at your wonderful villa.
