Super Cute Cottage
We didn't spend a ton of time in the home as we were out exploring. However, we loved the location close to everything as well as the balcony and outdoor space. Would revisit

Adorable little cabin
Very clean, and adorable cabin. My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon, and absolutely loved it. Many places to eat, and shop nearby. Neighborhood was quiet. Nice peaceful surroundings is what we wanted, and that's what we got. If I could suggest anything, a window a/c unit upstairs for the summer would be great. It got warm up there, and didn't really cool down until later, even with all the windows open.

Magical stay
Cozy cottage that captures a rustic feel and charm, without going overboard. Beautiful in the snow. Well appointed kitchen. Size is just right for couples or a small group, but it's not large. Good restaurants nearby and close to the slopes. Very happy we stayed!

A Bit Worn and Creaky
Looked much better in the pictures. Worn and stained carpets, creaky and steep stairs with wobbly handrail. TV did not work and it took 2 days and multiple phone calls to mgt company before someone came out at 7pm to fix it (took 1/2 hour). The yard was a nice place to sit and our dog enjoyed it very much. Bed is comfortable.

Lovely Property
A great location for Kings Beach and a lovely clean property. Spacious and relaxing back yard. Ideal for a couple, individual or Mom/Dad with little ones. Our Labrador LOVED all the smells in the back yard and exploring the nooks and crannies.

Great Stay - Great Location
Loved our stay here. Very well equipped house, including beach stuff (chairs, kayaks etc). Lots of outdoor space and comfortable beds. Location is close to the kings beach area but secluded from the hustle-bustle. The only issue we had is that the bikes were not in ridable shape, even though we notified the host ahead of time that we would like to use them as was suggested in the rental instructions... Not a big deal... we would definitely stay here again.
