The house was clean and Freddy was responsive to our questions during our stay. The house had nice Stove, BBQ etc. The fridge was a little small so don’t buy a bunch of food before you come. The house is in a nice quiet neighborhood, about 5 minute drive to the store and close to the slopes. The backyard had a nice little deck to BBQ and a nice spa to wind down. overall a really nice place. I would stay here again.

Overall, stay was fine, cabin as expected I will say they do not provide any spices or salt pepper anything like that so be prepared to bring all of your own cooking goodies. And also no first aid kit on the property which I felt was strange.

We had a wonderful weekend stay at this cabin. The place is absolutely beautiful—very spacious, clean, and well maintained, with plenty of room to relax and enjoy the surroundings. The host was extremely responsive and attentive. When the carbon monoxide detector started beeping, we informed them and they came by promptly to replace the batteries and make sure everything was okay. Overall, it was a comfortable and enjoyable stay, and we would definitely recommend this cabin to others looking for a peaceful getaway.
