Beautiful house and great accommodations. Came for skiing with friends and family ages 20-54 the house was perfect for all of us. The bunk room was great for the 20 year olds and the 3 other rooms were wonderful for the couples. Hot tub was wonderful after a day of skiing. Had a small issue with smoke alarm and owner was very prompt and issue was resolved. Would definitely rent this house again.

Multi-Family Ski Trip

This property was awesome! Very new and modern house with everything as advertised and more. Fit our 3 families of 4 just perfect. Everything was fully stocked and ready to go. Nubs and Highlands were a 20min drive, but the property was worth the trip. Would love to rent again in the summer to enjoy the inland waterway.
