Big Dipper
Great place to stay. Never a dull moment. The kids had a great time. Did not need to bring anything. We found 3 buckets of toys/legos!! The bunks were a huge hit. The adults loved the hot tub and fire pit.

Beautiful Big Dipper
This home was perfect. Kids had a ball with indoor pool, hot tub, game room, hiking, smores, movies while adults relaxed. No reason to leave the property during our short stay!

Great getaway
We stayed for 3 nights and ran out of time to enjoy all of the amenities. Would definitely recommend. All in our group of 10 were happy. We also really liked that the rooms all had en-suites. That’s hard to find. Proximity to Wisp was great.

Beautiful house with lots of space
We had a great time staying at this house. I love that each room was a master suite. Each room easily fit a pack-n-play (or two). It was a pleasant surprise to have some toys available for younger kids. The host was very responsive to all communications. Thanks for a great stay!
