A great family escape

We really enjoyed the roomy space indoors but especially loved the back patio with a fully fenced yard. Made our time with the kids and dog that much more enjoyable. Great communication from the owner as well. Can’t wait to come back.

Beautiful family home

We enjoyed our stay and appreciated all the kid friendly items (including a step stool in the bathroom). Loved the main family room and kitchen area. Host was excellent and responded very quickly to my questions. You won’t be disappointed!

Great home away from home

The family had a great ski week at this well equipped cabin. It was a great central location and Cathy was super helpful and responsive.
