We had a great experience here! The A-frame is beautiful and it's clear that a lot of careful attention went into making this a comfortable and relaxing stay for guests. The communication and hospitality was top notch and our kids enjoyed being able to swim at the hotel pool.

Perfect for Family Gathering!
Everything was perfect! Super fun experience, location was outstanding. All 4 bedrooms were very nice. We especially liked the family board games that were available.
We had an incredible stay at this beautiful A-frame retreat! The home was spotless, cozy, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed. The location is amazing- so close to the lifts, which made ski days effortless. My favorite part was starting each morning in the comfy leather chair in the loft, sipping coffee while looking out the stunning A-frame windows at the snow-covered trees. It felt peaceful and completely serene- a true retreat away from it all. We can't wait to come back!
