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.

Thanksgiving

We had a absolute wonderful time staying here for our Thanksgiving weekend. Ended up with a larger group then expected but had plenty of room to spread out and visit with each other. Played lots of card n dice games just had a relaxing time. Also enjoyed driving by the ghost town of Burke and hit all the little shops in Wallace for fun Christmas gifts!

Great place with 5 bedrooms

3 generations of one family found that this house was a really fun place to stay. With careful coordination having only 1 bathroom worked out well. This place is fully equipped. The owner is great, really great to work with. We recommend this place!
