Another amazing trip! This was our second time staying in winter. The house has a fully stocked kitchen, plenty of linens, is warm and welcoming and tastefully decorated. We spent the mornings sledding behind the house and the afternoons at the lake. Highly recommend. Ellen was very responsive when my brother had questions about the hot tub, and was flexible with checkout. Thank you!
Sled hill behind house. Chair lift swing was great!
