We stay here every time we come to Schuss mountain to ski. Beautiful decor. Very homey. My wife loves it. About an 8 minute drive to for skiing.
Courtview Cottage is an outstanding home to rent. The cottage is well appointed with French Country decor and it was spotlessly clean. We lacked for nothing trom the kitchen utensils to TVs and phone chargers in every bedroom. The owner is thoughtful and very attentive to his guests' needs and even had a Welcome gift for us upon arrival. The backyard is huge with gathering places at various locations and you feel secure since the entire lot is encompassed with a privacy fence. The outside lighting gives a truly beautiful ambiance while dining at the lovely gathering table. This is definitely the prettiest house on the block!!! We felt like we were on our own estate with all the lovely outdoor facilities. We also loved the history of the home. We would suggest a Blu-Ray DVD player and a simple coffee maker. The final word on this lovely home is...Inviting and desirable.
This was our second stay and we can’t wait to come back. Beautiful home, close proximity to Shanty Creek and walking distance to downtown Bellaire. The home is just gorgeous, so many wonderful details and it’s extremely clean and organized.
This home is pristine. The owner gave great attention to detail. Beautifully decorated. We were there in the winter, but the outside had many staged gethering places for entertainment. Walkways were cleared of snow and salted before our arrival. Close to downtown bars, restaurants and Short's Brewery.
We loved our weekend in Bellaire. We have been going to the area for 25 years and have always stayed in the mountain. This downtown experience was a pleasant change up for us! We loved walking to the restaurants, the coffee shop/bakery and the toy store :) Super cute. Very clean. Great hosts! 5 stars
What a wonderful home in a great location! The owners really thought of everything. The home is beautifully decorated, so very clean, and there were so many thoughtful touches and amenities throughout. A short walk to Shorts and a quick drive to Shanty Creek! We can’t wait to come back. Thanks for a great stay.
If you’re on the fence about staying here, here is your sign: RENT THIS PROPERTY! I stayed here with my husband and two friends for a cozy ski getaway and we had the best experience. They have EVERYTHING you could imagine in case you forget any of your belongings (hair tools, FirstAid, cups, dishes, etc.) The house is decorated to perfection - so beautiful inside and out and none of us wanted to leave when the end of our trip came. I would recommend this property to anyone wanting to visit the area!
Great location
