A round dining table in the living room adds space for 4, and the island adds extra space for morning coffee or après-ski snacks.
The living room invites you to curl up on the sectional for a movie on the 65" Smart TV or dive into a board game from the collection.

8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Nov 2025
Very spacious, nicely decorated, and plenty to do indoors. Appreciated the large smart TVs, WiFi, and hospitable touches in the kitchen and elsewhere. Bathrooms could use some updating. Owner great at responding to questions and dropped off supplies for an anticipated snow event. They do have someone who comes to plow. Unfortunately I’m allergic to down/feathers; there are many feather pillows spread throughout the house—something to keep in mind if anyone in your party is allergic.

We really enjoyed our stay! The house was great and the yard, game room, and fire pit were also really nice.

Thank you for letting us stay in your home. Upon pulling up we were a bit concerned with the outside appearance and upkeep of the home and property. We were met with a bit of a musty smell when we entered which continued throughout the home. As for the bedrooms, living, and dining room we were thankful they were large usable spaces. The linens provided were clean and plentiful. We would’ve loved to see some of the updates that were done throughout the home in the kitchen and bathrooms. Furthermore, the two small bathrooms were not sufficient for the size of our group along (8 adults) with needing many simple home repairs in both of them (broken towel rack, toilet seat, staining on the door, etc.). We appreciated the wood delivery the day after we arrived, and the lack of responsibility on us when checking out. Overall, our group had a wonderful time and with a few adjustments this property would be great!
