Beautiful house and great accommodations. Came for skiing with friends and family ages 20-54 the house was perfect for all of us. The bunk room was great for the 20 year olds and the 3 other rooms were wonderful for the couples. Hot tub was wonderful after a day of skiing. Had a small issue with smoke alarm and owner was very prompt and issue was resolved. Would definitely rent this house again.

This property was awesome! Very new and modern house with everything as advertised and more. Fit our 3 families of 4 just perfect. Everything was fully stocked and ready to go. Nubs and Highlands were a 20min drive, but the property was worth the trip. Would love to rent again in the summer to enjoy the inland waterway.
