Onpoint Madarao

The property was beautiful. The location was peaceful but not too far from the lifts or restaurants in Madarao. The hosts are wonderful people and very kind. It felt like staying with old friends. The food was excellent. We would definitely recommend having at least one of your dinners here. It’s intimate, cozy, and stylish. They have two cool pups and some extra snow shoes if you want to explore the trails and lake nearby.

We loved our stay. We would recommend a car with 4WD or AWD if you stay here or anywhere else in Madarao during the winter.

Einfach alles. Das Konzept ist durch Justin un Kaori so authentisch, dass man sich sofort wie bei Freunden zu Besuch fühlt. Die große Lobby mit dem Kamin hat es geschafft, mich total zu entspannen. Dabei noch die Hunde Juno und Tito um einen herum. Was aber wirklich außerordentlich zu erwähnen ist, ist die Kochkunst von Kaori. Wir hatten zweimal dazu die Gelegenheit. So geschmackvoll und lieb zubereitet. Es war ein Traum. Und denkt daran ihre selbstgemachte Cola zu probieren. Selten ist war ich so traurig einen Ort zu verlassen wie diesen.

Cosy and homely feel, just what we were looking for to unwind for a few days. Justin and Kaori are very sincere hosts and sensitive to guests' needs. Good sized rooms with ample heating and super comfortable beds. Meal were delicious and something to look forward to every day. Good and quiet location, in the woods slightly away from the village but still very accessible. Juno & Tito were an extra bonus ;-)

It's really hard to find anything not to like! Maybe the bathrooms could be a bit bigger, but Justin already mentioned he is working on modernizing them.

Justin and Kaori were such amazing hosts. The property is the perfect blend of hotel and lodge. Great for card games with friends after a day of skiing or having or just hanging out as a couple with a few drinks by the fire. The home cooked meals were healthy, warming and delicious. This stay was the perfect end to our trip after travelling for a month we had the best time.

Bathroom was quite small but not surprising for Japan as most bathrooms are small in Japan.
