Early June stay

This cabin has a very cozy feel. It has been updated and has a new feel to it. The sauna and hot tub were great options and there is a very nice outdoor campfire area.

Absolutely perfect!

This is the most well appointed rental we have ever stayed in. I don’t think there was anything we could’ve thought of that wasn’t already there. The property was immaculate and matched the pictures and descriptions exactly! Honestly this place exceeded our expectations. We had a fabulous week and will most definitely be back!!

Winter Getaway

This property is ideal! Kristi and Ryan are great at communicating. This chalet is top notch! What I appreciated the most is the attention to detail that they have put into this property. They have quality products throughout, from sheets and towels to toilet paper and paper towel. I honestly can not say enough good about this place. I would give it a 10 if I could! We will for sure be back next year!

Winter wooded chalet and great skiing location

Kristi and Ryan were wonderful hosts that have either thought of everything or responded to dreamer feedback. I don’t think you could pack more into a property while still maintaining a quality experience with thoughtful communication and excellent instructions for the many amenities! Thank you for sharing your cottage with hot tub, sauna and fire pit.
