Seriously Unforgettable

June 2026

Where do I even start! it was just so nice to feel a bit free for a little while and we noticed that feeling as soon as we reached the driveway. The house was spotless, and we really appreciated how organised everything was, especially the guidebook. The location is great as well!, central to everything, and it was so nice that Crystal Mountain was right next door. The temperature inside stayed consistently comfortable the whole time, and our three girls loved every single moment of it. And then there was the bear. We accidentally left a Teddy bear I handmade made for our five year old, and Wendy mailed it back to us. We had happy tears.. Seriously loved every aspect of this our experience. Hard to believe It was so affordable too, even though it was luxurious and comfortable. An unforgettable experience and a seriously lovely one. Thank you so much for this memory.

My family enjoyed our stay here. It had everything we needed and a wonderful view of the ski area. The shuttle bus was super convenient. We would stay here again.

Wow, what an awesome home! The moment you drive up and walk through the door, you know you’re in for a special treat. Breathtaking cozy comfort ambiance! The attention to detail, spotlessly clean, the well equipped kitchen, beautiful dining area, wood heat box fireplace AND outside bonfire pit?! So much room with uniquely designed spaces within. Lovely view from the deck that provides shade and sun areas. We were blown away and hope to return in the future. LOVED our stay!!
