This cabin was great, we loved the location and the fireplace. There were cobwebs everywhere and the toilet upstairs didn't work. But we just kept a pot to keep filling the tank when we needed to flush. The beds were a bit weird that they were all single beds except for the one queen. But we made it work. There were all of the kitchen supplies we needed. I appreciated the washer and dryer. What a great location. The street was very quiet and the hiking trails were a very short walk away. ##### Jamie D. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Alexander Z. 24 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cozy home, great location (ski) Home was located at a good location, walking distance to Snow Summit. 7 adults will have a very tight fit. An addition of a full bed instead of twin would have resolved the issue. There was a pee stain on one of our beds, which was discovered late at night when getting ready for bed. Staff brought new sheets next day. I do wonder how it was missed during cleaning. Overall I would stay again, especially if the bed size would be bumped to accommodate 7 adults (or growing teens) ##### Alexander Z.
