Located at the end of a quiet neighbourhood, with a “strict HOA” enforced set of rules. We had some issues with the hot tub and due to being here during a holiday, the host took 24 hours to get back to us on it. Which for us was a whole day of our trip. The hot tub definitely wasn’t clean before we got there, like didn’t smell of clorine clean and had scum. And the water was low.The overall house is really nice and cozy and comfortable. The woods are beautiful. The heat resetting to 50 at night is horrible. And it felt a little more like staying in a cabin with bedding and towels, rather than say a hotel. There was just a lack of those amenities and extra touches.

Great mountain cabin

Loved this cabin. Very spacious for two families. The tweens loved the retro video games, the packed game closet and the giant bean bag chairs. Very convenient to have two bathrooms. Enjoyed the open concept and the well-stocked kitchen. Great location for a ski trip.

wintertime in paradise

A lovely modern style home facing the woods in a peaceful quiet nook of Zigzag. The kitchen dining and living space shares open walls and windows gazing out into the trees. A lovely place to get away from busyness or noisyness (or both :) and let the easy quiet surrounding nature seep into dusty corners of the mind.

The Burrow - a great place to nestle in or basecamp from

The home is clearly loved by its owners. I thank you for sharing it. I hope to make another stay. I was sad to have to leave. Thank you for the artworks, the book and games selection, the well appointed kitchen. Loved the forest surroundings with the river gurgling aloud and the quiet neighborhood -- a balm to my city-life eardrums.
