Adequate snow cover for skiing can usually be found from December through March most years.

    The house was very musty. We could not even go to the basement. Would not recommend.

    Check in was super easy! We ended up having a leak in our roof and Troy was over there within the hour to fix it! The game room was a hit with the entire family! Kids and adults! Yale lake is my favorite place to be so being only a 4 minute drive made the vacation that much better! We are already talking about next summers vacation!

    House was clean and well-stocked. The decor in every room was extremely interesting and fun. Small problem getting keypad to work but Troy responded immediately. Beautiful area! We want to come back!!
    6.0 / 10.0
    A great house in a beautiful location. The game room was perfect for our group and we really enjoyed using the kitchen space as well. Unfortunately Cougar Park was closed while we were there but Yale Park was a nice place to go swim. For the check in process we realized that we were not given the code in advance and when we tried to contact the owner about it he was unreachable through text, phone call, and VRBO messenger. Fortunately some of the neighbors were able to help us or otherwise we would not have been able to get in at all. Unfortunately there was a burn ban preventing us from using the outdoor fire area so make sure to check the weather before planning to use that. Other than our check in difficulties we really enjoyed the house and our time there.

    The property itself was beautiful with plenty of things to do and the host, Troy, was so responsive and helpful the entire time, even with some unexpected hiccups. Truly enjoyed ourselves, will definitely be back!
