We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The home was well stocked with kitchen items and made our day of cooking and dinner easy! The lower level was a bit chilly, and maybe that’s because we couldn’t fully figure out the thermostat. But having the wall fireplace was perfect!

The Modern Ski House was the perfect place for our family stay for our daughter’s wedding. The house had every amenity we could ask for. It was to prepare and serve family meals with a great kitchen and enough seating for 11 people. The bedrooms were so comfortable and especially nice to have 3 full bathrooms and a powder room. We enjoyed the sauna and the walking paths nearby were wonderful to allow the children to release their energy. Thank you for making our weekend so enjoyable.

What’s not to love!?!
This house was so beautiful and even tastefully decorated for Christmas. 🎄❤️ Our family was able to comfortably gather, watch football, make holiday cocktail/mocktails, wear matching Christmas pj’s, and play games. This house provided everything you could possibly need. When we arrived, the beds all had a welcoming little stack of towels, makeup wipes, and toothbrush kits. Definitely a five star rental. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. We hope to come back again and again.
