Danielle was so helpful with everything leading up to and during our stay, including providing recommendations for x-country ski trails in the area! The home is so cozy and well appointed, we felt perfectly at home and never wanted to leave. Perfect for our group of six ski bums to spread out and enjoy ourselves!
Absolutely beautiful and perfect for our party of 8! Danielle had excellent communication and the property had so much to offer with the hot tub, game room and fire pit being highlights. We would love to return!
