Centrally located near cross country skiing, snowshoeing and down hill skiing. Perfectly sized for small groups in a nice quiet neighborhood. Would be glad to stay here again.
Great house for families, has a plenty of room and a great entertainment area downstairs.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Perfect location, responsive host, nice hot tub. House overall a bit dated (old sheets/comforter), and not everything was working (e.g., microwave, bunk bed). There was a playstation attached to the TV, but no board games or other amenities for kids, as we have found at other properties.
