This was an amazing place to stay. It was warm and cozy with all the amenities you could wish to have and many we never had time to fully experience. The owners were communicative and so accomodating. If you want a beautiful place for friends and family to gather and relax and to have a memorable time, this is the place!
When we were looking for a property for our group this one stood out for a frew reasons. The number of beds. The large ready to use kitchen as well as the downstairs space. We were excited when looking at the pictures but we had the best time once we got there. Parents were happy upstairs making dinner and kids were happy downstairs in the rec room. It was a perfect space to come relax at after the days exploring the mountains.
