This place is perfect

This property is perfect. It’s a very nice property which the owners have kept up very well. The property was clean when we arrived, which is key. Most important is the location. This property is walking distance to Snow Summit. So, parking my ski isn’t a problem with this property. Very nice.

Weekend Getaway

The pictures on the website enhance the actual however it is a very nice cabin. We had issues with 2 of the 4 smart TV's but eventually got them working. Please note that this property does NOT have a fully fenced yard. There is a fence on 3 sides but your dogs can easily stray if they are wanderers and not watched carefully. If I didn't want to bring my dogs, I would definitely stay here again however with my dogs this is a No for me in the future.

Great stay

Got checked in and arrived at cabin. Refrigerator was not cooling. Contacted property management and they sent someone within a hour to look. Fridge was toast so they left coolers and ice to keep our groceries cold. Following morning they brought a loaner fridge for us. Cabin was comfy and cozy, comfortable beds. As we were leaving they ask us to wash and dry the bath towels we used. Wash them then tried to dry and the dryer would not heat up. Overall our stay was great beside the couple road bumps.
