The space was exactly as advertised. Just a stone's throw away from Crystal Mountain for our ski weekend. It was very clean and check in and out were a breeze, no long list to complete. The fireplace was perfect to flip on after a cold day outside. As for the kitchen, I brought my own crock pot and didn't need it. I've never stayed somewhere that the kitchen was so well stocked that they even included those items. We will return again for another weekend stay.
