Coming back again and again
Stayed for 4 nights, wish we could have stayed longer. Awesome place!!!
Nice place for extended family
Really enjoyed our experience. Private area in very nice home.
Beautiful forest gem!
Beautiful place! We had an amazing time. The owner was responsive in answering our questions prior to our stay. The property was very scenic, a perfect cabin in the woods feel. Cabin being close to snowmobile trails and superior hiking trail was also a plus!
Excellent winter getaway!
Beautiful cabin in a winter wonderland. Very clean and spacious. Definitely would rent again!
Review
WAs a nice place, but Everyone in our group began to have allergies act up. After looking around more on the property we noticed a lot of dust everywhere. once we would go leave to go skiing we all would be fine. then back in place and allergies would act up again. Need to better clean, otherwise nice place
Tom;
Thank you for your comments regarding our Forest Chalet. We have never had this concern in our 12 years of renting the Forest Chalet. We take cleaning very seriously, and pride ourselves in always having clean homes that meet or exceed the clients expectations. I can assure you that we have completed a detailed clean from top to bottom.
