The property was very clean and neat inside. The kitchen was well supplied with dishware, cookware, etc. The access road was somewhat narrow and a little challenging to navigate. Parking was tight for our larger vehicle. Nice long range mountain view.

We had the best stay! The host is great, goes above and beyond, is easy to communicate with and responds so quickly. The house is adorable, so clean & functional. It is about 50 yard walk to ski right onto the slope, it skis out onto a blue. The fireplace was wonderful, hot tub is kept hot the whole time with self timed jets, I can say enough good things.
