We sincerely apologize that your home wasn’t shoveled out in time for your arrival. When we experience significant snowfall, we work hard to keep up with snow removal as quickly as possible, but unfortunately, timing can sometimes be affected by the volume of snow. We truly appreciate your patience and understanding.
We had a group of 10 adult males the house worked out great. Enough room to get away and enough room to gather and hangout. Plenty of room for parking with trailers if your hauling sleds or fourwheelers.
We had a larger family group of kids, teens and adults that enjoyed our stay at the Sund Up/Down. Great location next to Powderhorn Mountain in a semi-secluded area. Make sure the hike down the back side of the property to find the small river that leads to the beautiful Powderhorn Falls. Home had all the amenities we needed....pots, pans, dishes, toilet paper, soap, shampoo, towels, extra blankets and firewood for the fireplace. Only recommendations are to perhaps have a larger TV in the main living area and have the 2 person hot tub cleaned before arrival. The sauna was bigger than expected and was a welcome amenity. We would stay again if we get back to this area.
