Perfect size for three-family stay. Had so many amenities for outdoor fun; corn hole, paddle boards, balls for yard games (had an intense game of kickball in their massive yard!). Best location we could have asked for: close to dining, close to resort for ropes course/mountain coaster, and right on the water . House was perfect!

Wonderful Cabin

This cabin was perfect for our family. Beds were comfortable, air conditioning worked well. Everything was well appointed. Close to everything yet felt quiet and secluded. We loved having our own dock for boating/swimming. We will definitely stay again!

New Years Eve Cabin

This was the perfect cabin for my friends and I to celebrate the New Year! The host was super responsive anytime we had an issue. The property was very clean and had a ton of space for us to hang out! The hot tub was especially nice to relax in in the snow! We definitely will be booking this cabin again, but for the summertime! It is in the perfect location!

Beautiful cabin right on the lake!

This is such a beautiful, updated cabin with a gorgeous porch facing the lake. It felt so comfortable, and we really enjoyed everything about it. The beds must be brand new - no sagging mattresses here! The view of the lake was spectacular. The host was amazing. I would highly recommend this place.

Chris was very responsive to my questions and was accommodating when we requested the late check out. We appreciate it a lot!! We got the key code on the day of the reservation and not the day before. Couch was cozy. Kitchen was well equipped. Huge backyard (lots of dog poo tho haha) but we had fun taking photos by the lake!!

Great Ski Weekend

A group of 11 of us enjoyed a ski weekend at this beautiful property that accommodated us perfectly. The lake was beautiful, hot tub was perfect after a long day on the slopes (which were only a 3 minute drive away), and the place was very clean. The host was able to be reached easily when needed. We will be back!

Kayleigh, Thanks for staying at Firecracker. There is no better compliment than when a guest says they will return. A 5 star is our goal but a return visit is hands down the best.
