We enjoyed the views and hot tub. It wasn’t as clean as I would like it to be and no spa towels were available. It needs a little remodeling. Only one bathroom was updated. The location and views was the best. ##### Hera B. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jacque R. 10 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Gorgeous View, but lacked a few key components You really can’t beat the view. Stunning!!! House was clean, and large enough for our party of 12\. But kitchen only have 10 forks, and 5 mugs; we were only supplied with 11 towels for 12 people plus a jacuzzi. We could do laundry but no laundry supplies. The one thing that we just couldn’t get around was the lighting in the main level. We like to play games and the house was so dimly lit, we had to use our phone flashlights to see. No recessed lighting, only a chandler with the small candle bulbs. Kitchen was dimly lit too making it hard to cook. These are all very easy fixes. I hope the owners can make these small adjustments. ##### Jacque R.

It was lovely and VERY clean! Communication from management company was great. We had a party of 11 including adults and teens and had room for everyone. Only complaints would be twin mattresses in the bunk room were NOT comfortable - multiple complaints from kids : ( That room also stayed a bit colder than others, but there were plenty of extra blankets to be found! Overall, the home was well maintained, well equipped kitchen, clean hot tub, and GORGEOUS view! We would definitely stay again. ##### james h.

Very clean and spacious. The spa was amazing! It snowed while we were there and they had sleds for the kids to slide down the slopes right on the side of the cabin. They also had extra snow boots in the mud room for anyone to use. The beds were heavenly and they had new Ugg comforters on them! They provided large towels for the spa and had two types of coffee makers! We are going back in the spring...I don't think we will ever stay anywhere else! The staff at check in were the best!! Allowed us to check in early and then extended our check out time. Perfect weekend with the family! ##### Judy P.
