Daniela is a great host. Very communicative and responsive. The house is very nice and quite spacious. The hot tub wasn't working when we arrived, but a reset to the breaker fixed the issue. Projector in the main living room is ok, but I would've preferred a regular TV. Overall our stay at the house was great. The reason for only 4 stars was an issue with the gated community itself. I've never rented in a gated community before where they require your car registration. Not quite sure why they even need that in the first place. They also gave my Mother an issue because the paper they were supposed to print for her car was out of ink, so they wrote one instead, but they only made it good for one night, even though we were staying for 2 nights. So she had to go back to the gate to get a new paper the next day. Not something you want to do after a day of skiing.

The house was really cozy and the perfect size for our annual friend cabin trip. The hot tub was working nicely throughout the stay and added so well to the winter cozy vibes. The heating in the house was also really nice. Though, some of us had a hard time with the dusty couches/carpet in the basement, which made it hard to enjoy the games and hang out there. Would recommend servicing that for other guests. The sauna also had some issues. Generally it was a nice stay in a good location for hiking, and hanging with the winter trees.

Spent the weekend with the wife, our 5 adult kids and a few significant others. Total of 11 people. The house was large enough to accommodate all of us comfortably. Our host Daniela was amazing! From booking, to check in, to a few questions we had during our stay, she was always available and very quick to help. The house was clean and had everything we needed. The hot tub, sauna and game room were really a hit with all of us. We had such a good time, we didn’t want to leave. Would definitely book this home again!

Kids gaming and playing in the lower level or movies upstairs, a cozy read with a good book or a soak in the hot tub. Kitchen really was well stocked with utensils, appliances and so many spices to use.

Very relaxing retreat! Met with our grow children and their partners to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. There is an awesome fire pit and back area with hot tub, sauna and yard games. The basement was a favorite hang out, but the big projection TV screen made celebrating Sunday Football awesome! The area is nice and the zoo was fantastic! Also explored Hawley and did the rail bike excursion. Just a great house for family fun
