Welcome to your serene escape, nestled in nature and designed for true relaxation. This peaceful retreat is a sanctuary from the bustle of daily life! The main living room is intentionally TV-free, encouraging meaningful connection, quiet reflection, or simply soaking in the gentle whispers of the surrounding forest. It's the perfect space to unplug and embrace the calm. For cozy entertainment, head downstairs to the basement living room where a large TV invites laid-back movie nights. Even more excitement awaits in the separate Rec Room, complete with a very large TV—perfect for epic game days or fun-filled movie marathons—and a ping pong table for friendly competition. Step into the hot tub and melt into forest views as you soak under the sky. Whether it’s morning mist or a canopy of stars, this is your moment to relax deeply and breathe freely. Leave behind the noise. Embrace the stillness. Your tranquil getaway awaits.

Thanks for the 5-star review! Glad the spacious layout, well-stocked kitchen, game room, and extra refrigerator met your needs — we’d love to host you again.
We were not able to use your gamer room. The game room is freezing, the heater isn't working at all, even when you set the thermostat to 85 degrees is not working at all. Very limited spoon and pork.

Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry you couldn’t use the game room—the thermostat in that space should be working. We’ve reported the heater to our maintenance team for prompt repair, and have created a task to restock spoons and other flatware. We appreciate you letting us know so we can improve for future guests.
We're so glad you enjoyed your stay! This home is such a gem and we are so pleased to share it with you all. Thanks for leaving a review, and we hope you come again!
House was clean, great for kids and so much to do in the resort. We had a great time and will be coming back!

Awesome property
My family and I really enjoyed our stay at this property it met all of our needs and expectations and the cleanliness was great and we will plan another vacation at this property.
We enjoyed our stay and would definitely visit again. Accommodations fit our three families well and had everything we needed to enjoy a weekend of skiing in the mountains!
Place was very clean and great location. Close to ski slopes and tubing. The beds weren't very comfortable but everything was clean and Mary always responded quickly to any questions we had.

We are so glad to hear you had a great stay! We're sorry to hear you didn't like the beds. We have other guests say they're great. They are all fairly new. Everyone has a different preference for firm vs. soft beds. Luckily the house has over 8 beds that are all have different firmness levels so you can always find the bed that's right for you!
