This is a terrific rental home -- it's beautifully designed, thoughtfully arranged, and each room was comfortable, spacious, and fun. Perfect option for a large family or multi-generational family vacation.
House was beautiful and well appointed. Very close to a ski lift which was a real plus! Only issue was the lower level fireplace was not working, so it was chilly while enjoying the pool table.
The location of the home, the cleanliness and the comfort were all five stars. The only issue we had was when we went to check out there were no trash receptacles at the end of the driveway. We walked around the property and still did not find bear proof trash containers. Otherwise we had a wonderful stay.
