Great house for our group!!! Thank you Vince!!!❤️ ##### melanie m. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Sarah J. 30 Jan 2019 #### Great house for large group! House was great size for our large group! Fireplace was very enjoyable and the view was beautiful. We chose to drive and park at Yodeler or Tanenbaum lodge as the walk, although doable, would have been quite a chore after a full day of skiing. Only complaint was that the linens could have been better stocked - need more blankets (only 3 in entire house) and dish towels were greatly missed when drying all our dishes! We hope to stay at Morningstar again. ##### Sarah J.

From a 4 year old to us in our 60s. Great place and great location. Very short drive to the slopes and nice view of the slopes. Plenty of dishes, silverware and cooking pans. The driveway is steep with a curve but both days it snowed it was clear by the time we came back from skiing. The house is homey and in good shape and nicely decorated. With little ones we did not want a place to fancy. Also nice touch, fresh flowers on the table. The next time we ski here we will try to get this place again. ##### Jeff W. Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2021
