This was a very cute place to stay. The owners were very quick to respond when we had a chirping detector but turned out to be nothing. I would definitely stay there again.

Such a great spot for a family weekend! Julie went way above and beyond with communication, kindness and her home is the perfect place for a family weekend. Very clean, so nice and plenty of room for two families in town to bike and hike for the weekend. We loved the themed rooms and details; clearly, so much love and thought went into this home and we had an amazing time. We’ll definitely be back!

Lookout pass skiing

Unique rooms and themes throughout. The kids loved the llama room in particular. Nice kitchen that is well stocked. Quick check in/out process and good communication. It is a couple miles outside the town of Wallace and very quiet for those who apppreciate the peace, but just a short drive up to the ski area and other recreational activities. We had a great teip and look forwaed to staying again.
