Family ski weekend

We stayed 3 nights to ski at Elk. We had previously rented another smaller cabin. Everything was great and we enjoyed the wood burning stove. The weather was crazy and the owners were out plowing and helping cars get into their driveways due to the sleet and snow) it’s a fully equipped perfect sized for two families. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars was because of a lot of pet hair mostly on the couch. Hopefully we can make the trip back!

Amazing, secluded location, unique home

The setting is amazing--secluded, looking out over a beautiful valley, with an extensive property. We would have liked one more day to enjoy it all. The set up of the home is unique, but once you get used to the configuration, and bathrooms on the small size, this is a great place to stay. We would go back.

Great place, remote yet had everything needed for a getaway with kids

Thank you, Lisa, for being an excellent host and for your clear communication. I appreciated your taste in furnishings, home accents, and the cleanliness of your space. Thanks for stocking the fridge with spices and eggs. We enjoyed all the props in the backyard and the BBQ area, making lots of pictures and memories.

Hill Top Hall

Better than the pictures here! They finished up the basement into a huge kitchen and living area. Plenty of space with a beautiful view of the mountains and sunset. We were two families with young kids and we all enjoyed our short stay. The house was very clean and had everything you need. Try it out!
