I rented the whole house for my boyfriend’s 30th birthday with 18 of our closest friends and we had the best time! This place is very pet friendly, we had 5 well behaved dogs with us and there was still plenty of room in the house. The house and property is absolutely beautiful! The views are unreal from just about every room in the house. The goats, lamas and chickens are also so entertaining to watch and fun be around. The owners Gina and D'Arcy were such wonderful hosts! They made us latte's every morning, which were so delicious and creamy. The bedrooms were great—large and each equipped with their own bathroom, mini fridge and other mics. amenities. It is extremely close to Monarch Mountain. During the day some of us went skiing, some went snowmobiling and some fishing. We didn't rent the lodge as a b&b and brought our own supplies for cooking, partly because we were such a large group-- which goes to show how accommodating and flexible Gina really is with her guests. We will definitely be back again both as a large group and just with my boyfriend for a lovely getaway.
