It was a lovely property, well appointed with everting we needed. Comfortable beds, great sauna, hot tub and fire pit. It was a short drive from the beach and the market. And the small hike up the ski hill was great for the views. Thank you for the hospitality!

AMAZING, MUST STAY! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Such an amazingly beautiful spot to stay at in Eagle Lake. Right by Sir Sam’s resort it’s an awesome location. The house is cutely decorated and so much thought was put into everything on the property. Darinka is great at communicating everything you need for your stay. I would 10/10 recommend to anyone visiting this area to make this your VRBO of choice. Will definitely stay again if I’m back in the area!

Fantastic cabin!

Stayed for 2 nights with my friends and this VRBO is fantastic. Very clean, there are plenty of sleeping spaces and showers. We had a great time outdoors, greatly enjoyed the hot tub and sauna, and finished the night off by the fire pit. Overall 10/10, would recommend. The location is great, the venue is great and the owner, Darinka, is very easy to get a hold of and very hospitable.

March break ski trip with two families

Cabernet Chalet was the perfect spot for our March break vacation with two families (including 3 teens and 2 younger kids). Lots of space to spread out and an ideal ski in - ski out location. Darinka is very easy to communicate with and makes sure that you have a great experience. Thanks!
