Liked: Cleanliness, location
Overall the home was great, but the pictures did not show the small, narrow, spiral staircase to the only bedrooms, nor the "ladder" to the loft. I did see this at the bottom of the description later, but pictures would have been helpful as one of our group had an injury making the stairs too difficult to navigate.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the home, and we’re sorry the staircase and loft access created a challenge for someone in your group. We appreciate your suggestion about adding photos of these areas and will review the listing to make the layout and accessibility considerations clearer for future guests. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again!
Great place, clean and has everything you need. We got lucky and had so much privacy. I could see the hot tub being a bit less so if the neighbors were around. The only thing that gave us trouble was trying to stream on the TV.

Great cabin short drive from the village
The location is excellent for a ski trip getaway, and the cabin has everything you need for a mountain stay. Views of sunrise off the deck and through the trees really makes this place special. We'll come back for sure!

Beautiful!
We stayed out here midweek to celebrate a birthday and it was really quiet and peaceful. The space is warm and cozy and it comfortably housed four adults in the three bedrooms. Great place to make family memories!
My family and I really enjoyed our stay at this cabin. It’s was good size and well equipped. We enjoyed playing games in the evening. We used the shuttle service some but also had an awd suv so we drove ourselves. You definitely need an awd to stay here in the winter. Our only complaint was that we were a bit early for the snow and only one run was open at the resort, but we had fun anyway!
