The accommodations were comfortable and well-kept. The heated bathroom floors were a very nice and welcome touch! Some of the furnishings were a tad dated (dining room table is scratched and worn), but overall it was a great place for us to rest after a day full of skiing/snowboarding and exploring the area. The kitchen was well supplied for our needs. We enjoyed watching Lord of the Rings on Netflix in the cozy living area in the evenings. It was a short and scenic walk to dining and shopping. We would definitely stay here again! ##### LONNIE R. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ashley D. 27 Oct 2024 ##### Ashley D.
