Already dreaming of next year

This property is incredible. Our family enjoyed ourselves more than we even expected to over the long weekend at Black Diamond. The decor was so gorgeous, the kitchen was all the comforts of home, the beds were super cozy, the access to the slopes was wonderful. We cannot wait to return next season. Becky (owner) was fabulous with communication and we have nothing but positive things to say about this entire experience! Highly recommend this property.

LOVE staying at Black Diamond!

This was our 2nd stay at Black Diamond, and again was an amazing place to spend a long winter weekend with family. This is the perfect place if you're looking for a luxurious home (modern layout, high-end home furnishings, spacious rooms, etc.) with one-of-a-kind location (nearest ski lift is literally a few steps away). Look forward to returning to Black Diamond next winter!

Group with kids

We had a great time at this house and it was absolutely beautiful. Check in was really easy and we really appreciated the later check out we were given. The house was stocked with everything we needed. The location is perfect and the beds were comfortable. The only thing we missed was a hot tub. Will be back for sure!

The pictures are great but the reality is even better. I could not find one thing wrong with this house. Every piece of furniture, the lighting, the host, location, view, cleanliness, layout, technology, it was all amazing! Very high end and very well done. I will be back as soon as I am able. Loved it.
