We enjoyed a memorable ski weekend with friends in this sweet home with beautiful views. The fully equipped kitchen became a hub for cooking family-sized meals, and we loved the cozy dining room. On the day we decided not to ski, my husband took a relaxing steam, then we explored the pathway to the lake, and shopped in the cute town of Norway. In the home, the kids had fun playing outside or playing with the toys and games provided. This place is super clean and offers lots of comfortable touches. Would definitely recommend!
