    Check in and check out process was easy. The host responds to inquiries right away. The area is very safe for kids because its far from the main road. Lots of activities to do, there will be no boring moment. We even saw a family of deer on our second day of stay.

    Well stocked and large kitchen, good common areas. Lots of indoor activities for inclement weather. There is a small beach about 15-20 mins walking from the cottage in the summer. We didn't get a chance to use the smoker but hot tub, sauna, and bbq all worked perfectly. Thanks Peter!

    Our family had the most amazing stay at this stunning Chalet! The property, as well as the Chalet were exactly as described. The host, Peter was awesome! There was so much space for everyone to enjoy everything included. The kids found the games in the lower level, and enjoyed the outdoor play set and basketball net. The hot tub was one of the highlights for everyone in our group. The beach was a quick drive and perfect with the floating dock for the kids to jump off. Overall, this property has it all! If you’re looking for privacy, a large space for your family to make memories surrounded by nature… I highly recommend “The Hidden Porch!” I would definitely stay here again.

    My family enjoyed our stay, the place was amazing and very big, lots of stuff to do, however, the beach isn’t the best and too small too many people for a small beach! It’s best for relaxing and just hanging out with the family, and that is just what we needed to bonded. The host was very helpful and always there to answer any questions! I will recommend this place for your family vacation!

    They promise a shuttle that takes no longer than 15 minutes and a safe parking space. Both turned out to be lies. I was left alone in an unlit parking lot in the middle of the woods near no businesses where I could at least wait in safety. Cell service in this lot is not good and I was told by property management to call an uber because they could not determine when a shuttle would even be able to reach me. The uber driver could not even find the lot. You have to check in and check out at an office off property which is super inconvenient. From the time I checked in to the time I finally arrived at the rental took 3 HOURS. In speaking with their driver, several complaints have been lodged by guests and drivers about proper equipment, towing, snow plows in the weather and Retreatia has done nothing to rectify those issues. They promise convenient, safe travel but take not actions to ensure that will be a reality upon your arrival. The property itself is adorable, but you cannot park near to unload so you have to haul all of your ski bags and luggage uphill through the snow and it is not a short walk. The property also states that it is ski in/ski out. It is not. It states that it is across the street from lifts. Also inaccurate. I have lodged a complaint with VRBO and Retreatia and was promised a response within one day. That was three days ago and the only message I have gotten since that promise was to please give them a review. Well here it is. My stay was terrifying.

    Really enjoyed the outdoor experiences of the fire pit, sauna, hot tub, walking, and skiing. Great place for pets. Lots of space for a group. All the appliances work fine but the dishwasher, stove and double ovens are old tired. I would stay here again.
