The home was spacious, bright with huge windows, and super comfortable. There's a big couch to spread out on, a well-maintained hot tub in the back, a gorgeous pond right next to the home, and the king bed was a great escape from our smaller bed in the city. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking, but bring your own spices if you want them! Overall it was a wonderful trip. We did find the wifi spotty and slow, but if you're up here to enjoy the outdoors and company, this is a great choice.

Chalet w Hot Tub
The location was easy to get to, all though i would recommend a turn around in the driveway. The pond was a nice feature. The hot tub was why we picked this stay. It was not a clean, enjoyable hot tub - mildew smell so strong, it didnt wash off of me or my swimsuit. We own a hot tub so i know this one was not kept up. We used it only one night. Disappointed!
