Weekend getaway

My husband and I stayed here for a quick weekend getaway. The place was nice and clean. The only issue we had was the strong smell of campfire upon entering the house (from the fireplace) this was communicated to the owner. We made due and still had a great stay.

Short ski trip

Property location is perfect for BBJF. Owner was very responsive and helpful. The property is what it is, a little older but you're not paying a premium rate so you shouldn't be surprised. Overall very happy with our stay. One thing just FYI, although home is cozy, the downstairs was cool and the upstairs will dry you up. If dry air bothers you a vaporizer may be helpful.
