This place is great for large groups. We had 6 guys (one in each room) and with each room having its own bathroom, it was the perfect setup for us. The host was very responsive and accommodating when we had questions or things to address. The space is well maintained and right at the parking lot for Snow Summit, so you can just walk over and be at the mountain. Highly recommend this for larger groups. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to go back soon!
