Spacious house, very clean, very close to the trails as well as the local resort which you can get gas, use the car wash, grab something from the store, or even grab a bite to eat. A little further out there's also local car wash with a pizza shop and gas station across the street. Trailhead bar / restaurant has great food nearby. Kitchen had everything needed. Beds were comfortable as well. Plenty of room to park.

This home is perfect for a group or family. Clean, great location, close to trails and stores. Parking is good for trucks with trailers hauling buggies. Nice covered patio and fire pit. This was our 2nd time staying there and we plan to go back again.
