Xmas trip

We had a wonderful family vacation. The cabin is very nice and very clean. The fireplace is beautiful. We sometimes stay closer to the lifts, but we enjoyed staying at this cabin as it is quite close to the village and very close to the tubing and alpine slides. Overall, we were very pleased with our accommodations. I would definitely stay at this cabin again.

Perfect retreat!

We loved every square inch of this space! Big kitchen for prepping a few meals. A tub long enough for we tall folks. Comfy beds, and perfect sitting areas for catching a movie on Netflix. We didn’t want to leave! Thank you for your hospitality!

Great stay

If you’re thinking about a small winter getaway, book this one. The location is great. Cabin is close to attractions; great location to needed stores if needed; cabin is fully equipped with cleaning supplies, kitchen materials, bathroom necessities. Just little things that may need looking into: battery in the thermostat for the heater seems low and briefly turned off in the early morning (but it turned on I believe an hour after), and the volume when we tried to watch with the tv app youtube for the kids did not work. But all in all, everything looked amazing. We would love to come back again.

Great management, newly renovated Cabin.

Management was friendly and reliable (messages were answered almost immediately). The cabin is newly remodeled and everything was in working condition. The location has pros and cons. It is a just above a busy street and right next to the summer/winter attractions which can be a con or a pro. We thought it was great as we walked to the slides without the hassle of having to park. The cabin has a fun snow slide on the side (these must be vacant lots with no Private Property signs on them) which was great for the kids BUT brought a good amount of 'visitors ' who wanted to enjoy it as well. So if you don't mind sharing the space, it's not an issue. As for the cabin itself, it is well stocked. Paper towels would have been a great thing to have in the kitchen. The living/family room begs for 2 night lamps with a soft lighting (currently there is only a sterile white light overhead). Having a dryer at the cabin was gold with the kids getting wet in the snow!

Great cabin for a weekend getaway

Absolutely loved this cabin. It’s close enough to the village/town but far enough to feel as if you are staying in a private area. The kitchen has everything you would need to cook.

Would give this place 5 stars however, traffic/construction noise was super loud

Cute well taken care of place and perfect for us however, it is on the main boulevard which made for it to be very loud. There is also a new development with 29 homes going up so the construction going on was very loud as well. If you’re looking for peace and quiet this definitely is not the place for you. We also had an ant issue which was super annoying. Had to put everything in the refrigerator.

The perfect location walking distance to alpine slide

Cabin is 2 min walking distance to Alpine slide and 5 minute drive to the Village. The cabin is cute small and clean much nicer in person, pictures don’t do it justice. (Tip. Hot water goes fast) It has a nice view and very privet. Would love to visit during winter!
