Great location
Really comfortable and roomy 3 bedrooms. Large baths and kitchen. Smallish family area, but still plenty of room. It seems like this property is very new. So it's clean, in great repair. I feel like the others may be still planning on putting some kitchen items in, pots pans etc. We were fine, but there is certainly some room for kitchen utensils. I think the living area would benefit from a bunch of large floor pillows and a bean bag chair or just something that makes post skiing "flopping around" more comfortable and accessible in the living area. Overall it's a great set up. If you are willing to do a little bit of walking (maybe 150 yards) you can access the snow from the property by walking down hill on the fireroad that accesses the top of Northern Lights. From there you can ski the beginning area or ski to the left to the lodge and the main lifts. You can exit the ski area and walk down hill from the top of the intermediate lift by dropping down on the green slope off to the right of that life and take the same fire road down to the house. It's a tiny bit tricky getting down to the house because the back is kinda steep. If you are lucky enough to have abundant natural snow in addition to the gobs of snow Whitetail makes, you could potentially ski down to the slopes from the house and back to the house from the slopes. Great visit. Whitetail itself has taken some aggressive steps to minimize lift lines by managing lift loading like the big boys.

Great stay!
We had an awesome time. We arrived at night and were confused as to how to enter the property, which is like a downstairs apartment in a SFH, but the hosts were communicative and helpful and once we got in it was lovely.

Great place - very convenient to Whitetail
We had a great time. The place is clean and spacious. Plenty of space for our group of 3 adults and 3 kids. Bathrooms are huge and everything you need is there. It's also incredibly close to Whitetail, so it's perfect for a ski vacation.
