We got to Boreal in minutes. Plenty of room for our family and children . Bedding was super comfy. The kitchen was well equipped but the owner should come in and reorganize the cabinets so items are easier to find. Everything is in the kitchen but difficult to find. We had a fabulous time cooking in the kitchen on the Jenn air appliances. The house felt clean the entire time we were there. We appreciated the no shoe policy. Minor note: The ping pong table net was broken.
