Convenient location

This property is very convenient for skiing purposes! You literally walk out the door, pop your skis on and ski directly to a trail. The cabin was the perfect size for our family of 4 and very well maintained. Communication was quick and easy with the rental company as well.

Boys ski trip

Everything was great except for the fact that the hot tub did not heat and we couldn't use it. It was one of the reasons we chose this place. Bummer. Also, the washing machine had old wet towels from previous renter and made the cabin smell musty.
