Very relaxing retreat! Met with our grow children and their partners to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. There is an awesome fire pit and back area with hot tub, sauna and yard games. The basement was a favorite hang out, but the big projection TV screen made celebrating Sunday Football awesome! The area is nice and the zoo was fantastic! Also explored Hawley and did the rail bike excursion. Just a great house for family fun

Great space. Great for friends.

Stayed for a girls skiing trip. Place was perfect size with 4 bedrooms and a bathroom on all 3 levels. Game room in basement was a perfect gathering area along with the space in the living room/kitchen area on the 2nd level. Hot tub was good. Neighborhood and entrance area very secure. There is an entry level ski lift in the Hideout which is a nice bonus. Quiet location. Host was very accommodating and always available when needed. Would have liked to see some more usable spices including salt and pepper.

Cozy stay

We had a cozy and fun stay with our family. The property is comfortable, has fun amenities and it is also conveniently located. We went to a park nearby that had nice trails. Our family likes to enjoy a good meal together, therefore we would have liked to have a larger dining table, in relation to the number of guests that the property holds (the table fits 6 people). However, we were able to make it work and had a good time! Communication with the manager was great, she promptly responds to questions and she is very helpful.

Name fits perfect

Host was great to deal with and communication was quick. Very relaxing community. Has everything included which is a great plus saving trips to get necessities. House aas very clean and relaxing. Felt like you were actually at home instead of strange place. While cooking on grill outdoors, mother deer and her 2 babies came walking up to me about 10 feet away and just stayed there eating. Wish there was some kind of saw to cut wood for outdoor firepit but thats only minor. Will bring something to split wood next trip we make to here. Would definitely reccomend this place and plan on coming back in the future.
