February 2026

We loved it here! When we arrived we found fresh flowers and Valentine's candy, which was completely unexpected and just made the trip feel extra special. Aly and Georgia were very friendly and easy to communicate with. The place was spotless and the beds were comfortable. We really enjoyed relaxing on the couch and looking out at the beautiful frozen lake. It's located close to the X-country ski headquarters which was a big plus for us. We would definitely return.
