Quick Family Ski Trip

We stayed at Skylark's Nest for a quick family ski trip. The location was fantastic and the property perfectly met our needs. We were so pleased to be able to bring our dogs. The porches both had gates and there were leashes to keep the pups in the yard. We really appreciated the dog friendliness of this property!

Perfect for us

This home is not just dog friendly, it is dog inviting and welcoming. The gated deck and porch were a relief and pleasant surprise, as were the extra leashes, water bowl and dog bed. It’s a nice place for humans too. There are lots of extra touches including multiple tvs, Bluetooth speakers, phone chargers, blankets, and a well stocked laundry room. The dryer dries really fast!My only suggestion to the owner would be to have more comfy living room furniture. The adults in our group didn’t ski so we spent lots of time on the couch. All of the beds were super comfortable. The home is extremely convenient to the slopes and the driveway isn’t crazy steep. Communication with the owner was very good. We hope to stay here again
