Family vacation
We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this house. It nicely accommodated our 6 adults and 2 children (3 and 1.6 years old). The house is clean and beautifully decorated. It appears a lot of thought was put into making sure you have a wonderful stay. All of our favorite hikes are within 30 minutes and the hot tub provided nice relief after a day of hiking. The Wilderness Run Alpine Coaster is 5 minutes away and now on our favorite list. I highly recommend staying here.
