    We absolutely loved Jen's house. The welcome packet was so detailed, the house so well cleaned, and so many amenities provided! The house is also perfectly located halfway in between Big Boulder and Jack Frost if you want to ski both mountains one weekend!

    Beautiful and cozy with a beautiful balcony with a lake in the backyard. Close to all needed shops, restaurants, etc... Very comfortable place for a weekend retreat and more. The hot tub was amazing, kayaks were fun, and 2 comfy living rooms to chill and watch a movie. Owner is super responsive. Its also close to many hiking trails that are gorgeous, like waterfalls!

    The house is right by highway 940. There is constant noise of cars and trucks which you see and hear from the porch. We left early because the noise was so bad. If you don’t mind this, the rest of the house is as advertised. Hosts respond quickly to texts.

    Perfect getaway with river side view. Hammocks to relax in or dry yourself off after a nice dip in the hot tub. Bedrooms were tidy and comfortable. Enjoyed access to the kayaks and firepit. Overall, it was a delightful stay.

    My husband and I stayed here for a quick weekend getaway. The place was nice and clean. The only issue we had was the strong smell of campfire upon entering the house (from the fireplace) this was communicated to the owner. We made due and still had a great stay.

    Property location is perfect for BBJF. Owner was very responsive and helpful. The property is what it is, a little older but you're not paying a premium rate so you shouldn't be surprised. Overall very happy with our stay. One thing just FYI, although home is cozy, the downstairs was cool and the upstairs will dry you up. If dry air bothers you a vaporizer may be helpful.

    Beautiful location right on the water. The host was very responsive. It was extra chilly when we were there so we did not get a chance to enjoy the water, but would like to return again in the future.
