We had the best stay! The host is great, goes above and beyond, is easy to communicate with and responds so quickly. The house is adorable, so clean & functional. It is about 50 yard walk to ski right onto the slope, it skis out onto a blue. The fireplace was wonderful, hot tub is kept hot the whole time with self timed jets, I can say enough good things.

The property was very clean and neat inside. The kitchen was well supplied with dishware, cookware, etc. The access road was somewhat narrow and a little challenging to navigate. Parking was tight for our larger vehicle. Nice long range mountain view.
