Our family had a wonderful time. The Haven is the perfect house for families. Nice kitchen, big dining area, and nice sized family room. The first floor area is awesome for getting your gear on/off.

Reviewer Comments:
This house was a great location on Salamander at Timberline. We had two families (4 adults and 7 children) who all were comfortable with plenty of space. House had easy kitchen with all common pots, pans, utensils, coffee pot. Warm, easy access to slopes (just walk outside)! Wi-Fi. I will say that you must heed to “4 wheel drive” vehicle in winter. We stayed on a snowy, cold weekend and one of our vehicles needed to be parked elsewhere while the 4 wheel drive vehicle ferried people to house. The last part of the road before driveway is steep. We loved our stay and would stay again.

Reviewer Comments:
The place was clean, had most everything you would expect and ski in and ski out. A ramp from the deck to the slope would be nice.
We’ve been going to Timberline for the last 30 years. Out of all the properties we’ve rented, The Haven is absolutely the best! Well maintained, perfect layout, on Salamander… Can’t get any better.
The service was impeccable. Special thanks to the management team!

Reviewer Comments:
The set up of bedrooms was perfect for our group. The location was perfect for our kids to ski the green slope and for stopping in easily for lunch. The steep driveway is the only thing we didn’t like about the house. Loved that they had boot warmers for the ski boots and gloves. Adding a hot tub to the deck would be a great addition to this house.

Reviewer Comments:
We had a lovely experience at The Haven. The house was spotless and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook with. The gas fireplace was wonderful and the house was very warm and cozy. It was great to ski in/ski out, but getting up the hill to the slope was difficult. Owners should consider putting in steps on the side of the hill for safety or adding some landfill to make it easier to get onto the slope. Renters should also be aware that this house is at the top of an extremely steep slope and 4 wheel drive and snow tires are a must in the winter - don't take this lightly; performance tires won't cut it. The owners have done a really nice job of maintaining the house and have clearly put a lot of thought into it.
We had a wonderful stay, the location is superb as well as the cleanliness of the property! Please note that you do need 4Wheel Drive or winter tires to access the property. The incline on the road leading up to the property is very steep as well as the driveway.
Great location - ski-in/ski-out right next to Salamander Trail (green trail). Lots of room (5 bedrooms) to stay and good supply (i.e., dishwasher detergent, etc.) provided. Timberline doesn't have a lot of lifts but the new 6-person chair is extremely fast and trails here are long and wide. Would definitely come here again.

We really enjoyed our stay over the New Years Holiday. This home was perfect for our 3 small families with little kids. We loved being able to jump right on Salamander to head down to the lodge. The Haven is a cozy and wonderful place to stay!
