Stayed here on a short snowboarding trip with my kids. House was very comfortable and in a great location close to wisp. Very clean inside and comfortable furniture and beds. We will definitely book again here.

Not bad but not great
Aside from the grill not working because of it not being cleaned properly and the broken mirror and TV issues on the rainy days, it was a nice place to stay. The house was clean and the hot tub was amazing!

Hi Shane, thank you for sharing your feedback with us. I’m sorry to hear about the issues you’ve experienced with the grill, the broken mirror, and the TV. I want to let you know that our local team is working on replacing both the grill and the mirror to ensure everything is in great condition for you. We truly appreciate you bringing these matters to our attention.
We booked as soon as we saw the forecast for 12 inches of snow. Easy reservation process, simple check-in, and the property and parking area were well-kept. Definitely needed 4WD to get up the hill. Loved the wood fireplace!
Stella's retreat is a great place to stay. It is spacious, comfortable, very clean, and well kept. The living area and backyard deck with the hot tub are a great place to relax and enjoy with family and friends.
Location is great, near Wisp and its slopes, as well as the water. For both summer or winter escapades, I would highly recommend Stella's retreat.

Slope side
Clean, quiet, and right on the slopes. What else could you want for a couple of fall days in the mountains!
Stella's Retreat is a great townhouse located right on the slopes. It was very clean, well-kept and cozy. The kitchen was very spacious and well stocked. We thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub after a day on the slopes. I really appreciate that it is dog friendly as well. We like to take our pups on vacation whenever possible. Highly recommend!
Bedding needs cleaned better. There were short black hairs on all pillow cases and sheets, (assuming it’s where it is a pet friendly place. The bathroom floor downstairs needed swept as well. Other wise, it was a great place to stay. We enjoyed the location and everything else about the place was great!

Quick Getaway
Stella's Retreat was nice. We came from DC to go skiing but we were a week too early. The house was spacious for our two teens to have their own space. My daughter slept upstairs in her room and my son slept downstairs. We did not get a chance to enjoy the hot tub however, we were able to grill. I enjoyed the heat lamp in the bathroom especially because I'm not a huge fan of taking hot showers. We will come back!
Location for ski in/ski out was ideal. Tons of snow before our trip, so this option was available. Just make sure that particular trail next to the place is open if this is important to you. It still is a great location as it's only a couple minute drive to main lodge if you can not take advantage of the ski in/ski out. Place was okay. A little bit of updates and maintenance can go a long way for this unit. I wasn't expecting too much based off of other reviews before booking. However, for our ski trip with kids, it was perfect. The hot tub on deck was used more than I expected. If
