The Edelweiss was the perfect space for our WI family Thanksgiving. We had family coming in from all over the country and the Edelweiss worked great. The bedrooms were roomy for all of our adult children - and the kitchen worked very well for the Thanksgiving turkey dinner for 12! Snow prevented us from using the fire pit or the wonderful deck space - but the beautiful fireplace kept us all cozy warm.
Overall, the house was clean and comfortable, and the location was great. In the one downstairs room next to the stairs, a very loud continuous noise kept happening around 2AM every night and last for about 1 hour. The noise sounded like water tank flushing. The noise woke up everyone sleeping in the room, including a toddler, and no one was able to get back to sleep until it was over. Such noise had a really negative impact to our experience of the stay.
