Beautiful cabin with tons of space. Centrally located to many attractions and activities. This was a perfect home away from home for our long weekend. Far enough away from the busy tourist areas but close enough to enjoy all the things we wanted to do. Hosts put a lot of thought into making our stay comfortable. From helpful notes on basic things around the house to books, movies, and games to binders with recommendations and menus to personalized suggestions based on what we were looking for for our family. Will definitely stay again, highly recommend!

Thank you for your kind comments! Skiing has always been a lifestyle for us and for many that visit! The house does have a” vibe” that reflects on the sport itself and the history of the area. We hope that you can return as many have!

The Hosts were very responsive; checked to see how we were doing with difficult weather our first day. The proximity to both Highlands and Nub’s was exceptional. The lodge is very clean, kitchen very well appointed! Great fireplace and plenty of beds for our family group. We hope to return for another great ski getaway next year! Big thank you!!

Great location with everything we needed. The host was very responsive and helpful. Comfortable beds and having two bathrooms was nice. The decor in the cabin gives the perfect up north vibe. Every member in my group mentioned we should book this house again so we’ll be back. Thanks again for letting us stay Chris!
