Your home gave us plenty of space for seven adults and four children. We had some rainy days at first, but the kids were happy to spend some time in the house. The location is perfect! We went to the YMCA two times and the National Park two times. Thanks for the ample provisions of linens and kitchen equipment.

(Entered by guest in guestbook at house). We wanted to thank you for making our spring break wonderful! We spent our time skiing, snowboarding, playing in the snow, and relaxing in the hot tub and your beautiful home. The house had everything we needed to make our stay that much more enjoyable. I hope we're the first of more Aggies to come! Thanks and Gig Em!

(Entered by guest in guestbook at house.) We had a wonderful time. Thank you so much for letting us use your beautiful home. It was a perfect week for us. Skiing, tubing, snow mobiling, sleigh rides, wow!! Relaxing and getting away from city life. We also liked watching the deer graze out in the front yard. We didn't see the little red fox. Got to see it snowing almost every day.

(Comment emailed by guests after stay.) Tom and Carol --- Just wanted to say THANKS !!!! for the past week. We all had a wonderful time and really enjoyed your vacation home.
