Great Home and Location

This place was amazing for me and my buddies on our annual ski trip at holiday valley. It was easily the nicest place we've gotten while coming the last 3 years. Also being a 2 min drive from the rental place I go to and 5 min to the main lodge, the location was perfect too. Decent sized hot-tub and the property owner was very attentive.

Zen ski pad

Everything from the communication with the host to the fine details of amenities and essentials were all thought out well. The game room garage was great for the rainy days we had. The covered patio next the koi pond was our main hang with some wine / a good book!!Great energy even my 4 & 7 year old were very relaxed and chill at this property.Thank you for an enjoyable stay with great location.
