It's the little things that make a difference: fresh flowers on the table, coffee machine with a bag of ground coffee and filters, everything clean and organized, a pool table with a cue in great shape. A lot of the times places have pictures of all these but when you get there they're in disarray. Not here! Had an amazing stay for a weekend ski trip
