Thanksgiving
We took our whole family- kids and spouses, 5 grandkids and 2 grand dogs for the long Thanksgiving weekend and had a wonderful time. The kitchen had absolutely everything we needed to pull off the Thanksgiving dinner. The grandkids loved being all together in the bunkroom. The living room/ kitchen areawas plenty big enough for all of us to be comfortable. Property is beautiful and secluded and quiet. The adults loved relaxing in the hot tub after the kids were in bed. We highly recommend this property especially for families.

Thoughtfully well-appointed, comfortable home, close to skiiing! Had everything you need to cook meals and spend time with family - including a fun kids’ room! Spent some time by the fire, enjoyed the game room. Secluded, wooded setting was nice for walks and watching the snow fall!

Mostly great
The pool table was a major disappointment. It has a huge rip in the felt, right in the middle of the table, which made playing pretty much impossible. There were a few minor things that were broken (a door handle downstairs and a dining room chair) but nothing that hampered our reason for being there Other than that, the house was perfect for our group to party in. Plenty of space. Plenty of beds. The kitchen was well stocked and was put to use. The deck was big enough to play cornhole on and still congregate.
