Fabulous ski home!
This is an absolutely fabulous property! We had our whole family which is 8 adults, a 4 year old, a 2 year old and an 8 week old baby. There was plenty of room for all of us to be extremely comfortable. This is a beautiful home with great ski in and ski out access. The kitchen is extremely well stocked and so great to cook in. We cooked in every night! Each bedroom has an en-suite bathroom which made it so nice for everyone! There is also a half bath off the entry/kitchen area. The private hot tub was another awesome feature! We would highly recommend this property and hope to be able to make another trip to stay there in the futures.

Great place in a beautiful setting
This was a great location, very clean, and super cozy. A large group of us went to run the Rut and little did we know, the course runs right by the home! We'll definitely be back. Oh, and as a bonus, the first day we were there a Moose family welcomed us in. So majestic and they were right outside the home.

Amazing House!!
From check in to check out this was one of the best VRBO’s we’ve ever stayed at. The property manager, Jolene, was amazing. She checked in on us before our flight even landed and responded quickly when we had questions. The house is perfectly located and we had more than enough room for our family. The property manager sent us a book of information prior to our stay so we were able to book everything prior to our trip. We can’t wait to come back and stay again in the winter!!
