Perfect place to gather with friends
This place lived up to our expectations. There was plenty of room for everyone (9 adults). The kitchen was well stocked with all of the pots, pans and dishes needed. The beds were very comfortable with extra blankets and pillows if needed. It was only a few miles from the ski Mt which was another plus. Thank you for a great trip!
Love the North Shore!
We had a wonderful weekend with our large family gathering and there was plenty of space. We played games, had great meals, sat around the fire, enjoyed cross country and downhill skiing and even a candle lit ski on the Sugarbush trails. The weather was perfect. We enjoyed the views of the snow covered woods and even lake views from the home.
Wonderful
We had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend
A Magical Family Thanksgiving
This property was the perfect spot for our family of 11 Thanksgiving holiday. Plenty of room for all of us. The only bad thing I can say is...invest in better lightbulbs. Several were burned out or were so dim we could barely read or cook in the kitchen. We would recommend this beautiful property to all. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Great fall get away
Perfect set up for our big family. Room for everyone to enjoy hanging out, eating, sleeping and relaxing. Close proximity to great hiking. Loved the wood burning fireplace. We will look to return next year.
We are glad you enjoyed your stay in our house. We hope you do consider staying with us again next year.
