The home has the most beautiful view of the mountains and ski runs from the front deck or from inside the home with double glass sliding doors. The home is decorated in knotty pine and has every utensil or gadget you could possibly need! The driveway is steep but thence the great views! I am 80 and my husband is 88 and we both thoroughly enjoyed a few very relaxing beautiful days even though we had to climb eight stairs to get there. Well worth it. I would love to stay there again.

Cabin exactly as described, provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay. WiFi, DVDs with good classic movies, board games and lots of fans. My only complaint is that there is no AC and the living area got really warm in the afternoon.
