We stayed in this lovely rental chalet in February 2016. Communication was excellent with Josh Waddington. Thanks Josh for making everything seamless! :) We rented the entire home for 4 nights. We enjoyed a family reunion for the 14 of us, 7 adults and 7 kids. From the moment we stepped into this piece of heaven we knew it was going to be a fantastic week. Snow 4 feet high on the rooftops, an absolute winter wonderland. This home is clean and very roomy. The 14 of us never felt like we were stepping on each other's toes. Rooms are spread out and well appointed. The teenage boys slept in the suite on the hide a beds and the girls slept on the bunk beds on the upper floor. All adults had the comfort of their own rooms and with 3 bathrooms in the house we never found "lineups" to be a problem. :) The main kitchen was large so that 4 people could easily cook meals without bumping into one another. There were enough dishes, pots, pans, bakeware, crockpots, and dutch ovens. The hot tub is just 2 steps out the side door, this was a luxury after a hard day of "playing in the snow." If you prefer having your shower towel separate from your hot tub towel you may want to bring an extra set of towels as there is only one set per person. From the living room windows the view is spectacular of "tube town" and the mountain side. The neighbours were extremely friendly.
I do have one caution concerning Spencer Lane. The road is steep and with all the snow fall and melting, ice builds up. Once you have found Spencer Lane, put your hazard lights on, leave your car on the main road, and walk up to the house and see where the driveway is so that you can navigate the road and it's ice pack conditions. If you have chains you will not have a problem for the 15 second drive up the road but unfortunately we slowed down at a driveway we thought was the house and found ourselves sliding down the street out of control just missing a parked vehicle. We witnessed this problem repeatedly with other vehicles trying to get up the street so be aware. Snow plows do come and clear the road and driveways but when we arrived they had not yet plowed.
We will definitely stay at the "Stellar Star" again. Thanks again to Josh Waddington and family you made our week a fantastic memory and we hope we will share many more in the future years to come.
