Great retreat

Was a very cozy and inviting home on a quiet street. Beautiful views and everything you need for a get away. Fire place helped keep the house warm and we were pleased to find plenty of fire wood. Would definitely go again!

Highly Recommend Staying at Uralba

David is a lovely host. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Uralba, the home had a very warm and cosy feel. We were a group of 7, here for our annual snow trip and stayed for 5 nights. We found the travel distance from here to the snow fields quite reasonable, and wouldn't hesitate to book here again in the future.

Great time at the great place!

8 people (3 adults and 5 kids) had the best holiday ever! Spacious and comfortable house with everything you need - comfortable beds, linen and towels, fully equipped kitchen, BBQ, TV with the DVDs, WiFi and the fireplace!!! Walking distance to the lake and 20 minutes drive to Jindabyne. Everyone loved it and can't wait to come back again!

Perfect alpine getaway

Our family group of 4 adults and one child loved our 2 nights in this warm, atmospheric 2 storey alpine house. Although it is not large it feels spacious and there is plenty of room in the open plan living area. The kitchen is new and well equipped. All furnishings and linen are fresh and everything is very clean. Heating, TV reception and the shower are all excellent. The full length windows of the living area face north (sun!) and the adjacent pasture land. The days started with kangaroos and magpies who were followed by cows, sheep and wagtails. A perfect relaxing place to stay or to come home to after a day on the slopes.

Not worth

I was charged $400 for cleaning but made to clean the property before leaving. Restrictions were added on use of heaters. Was hard to survive with little kids 😕

Response from VrboOwner on 12 August 2024
The cleaning fee covers professional cleaning, bed making and laundry service . We at no stage did we ask the guests to clean the house. We did ask the guests to put the rubbish bins on the street when they departed. We did however ask the guests to turn off the heaters when they were away from the house as electricity and gas rates are extremely high in the snowy mountains.
