The host was great. They called ahead of time and provided the lay of the land. It’s snowy and cold up there this weekend, and there was plenty of blankets to keep people warm. There was a large loft which is great if you’re traveling with kids. The game room in the basement has a foosball table which was great. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking meals and a grocery store down the road. We’re looking to stay here again next year as it was a great home for a family vacation.

This property was spacious and a great fit for my family. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed since we cooked our meals. The porch with rockers and swing was our favorite! Granddaughter enjoyed the games and play room. Fireplace was an added luxury on the cool nights and mornings. Would love to have had a firepit for s'mores. We are already talking about renting for a longer stay next year.
