Beautiful Property!

We had our church youth retreat at this wonderful property! The home was amazing for housing and feeding 18 teens and 7 adults. The home is inviting, spacious and comfortable. We were able to sit all together to worship, have teachings and prayer groups. The teens loved the game room and hiking the area and the kitchen is a dream for cooking for a large group. The owner is kind and hospitable. We were blessed graciously with our stay!

Great house for a big group!

My group of friends had a great time at Pegs! The place had enough space for a big group of adults and all the beds were comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with everything we needed and the double fridge and double dishwashers were very nice. Peg was quick to response when I had questions and made sure we had all the information we needed. We would all stay here again!

Perfect winter getaway

This large home was perfect for our group of 4 families. The kids especially loved the bunk room and the air hockey table! The kitchen was extremely well stocked and the location was great as a home base for skiing at Sunrise and sledding in town. We would love to stay here again!

Best group cabin in the pines!

This is the second time we have stayed at this wonderful rental with 4 families and kids ranging from age 5-11. It couldn’t be more perfect from the giant gourmet kitchen to the bunk room to the ping pong table and fire pit. The boys enjoyed the basketball hoop in the yard as well. Peggy could not be more accommodating in all respects. Thank you!

Perfect property for a large group

This house is perfectly set up for a large group. There is lots of space in the living room, the dining areas, outside, and in the game room for people to both spread out and also meet together. The hosts are aware of the size of groups using this property and have stocked the kitchen well for preparing large meals. It was beautiful inside and out. Less than 10 minutes to everything in town.

Great place

Our group of 17 spent 3 nights and 4 days in this magnificent place. Since we are a group who are steadily renting places a couple of times a gear I can honestly say the bedrooms in this cabin are huge compared what we’ve seen in other places.Kitchen is well equipped, 2 refrigerators and 2 dishwashers, 2 sets of washers and dryers, definitely set up for large groups. The back is huge and very nicely set up. We’ll definitely coming back.
