We took our whole family- kids and spouses, 5 grandkids and 2 grand dogs for the long Thanksgiving weekend and had a wonderful time. The kitchen had absolutely everything we needed to pull off the Thanksgiving dinner. The grandkids loved being all together in the bunkroom. The living room/ kitchen areawas plenty big enough for all of us to be comfortable. Property is beautiful and secluded and quiet. The adults loved relaxing in the hot tub after the kids were in bed. We highly recommend this property especially for families.
A sweet home for a quiet stay in the woods! We loved the impressively stocked kitchen, the available games, natural features and perfect views to kick off autumn.
Clean and super organized. Everything you can think of is supplied in the kitchen. Some of the mattresses need to be updated though. Our friends and family had a great time!
I stayed with my family and everything was clean, well organized and the communication with Natalie was excellent, without hesitation I would stay again!
We had a great time at this property, it was comfortable, secluded and had everything we needed
Very clean, great location, easy check in and check out
Thoughtfully well-appointed, comfortable home, close to skiiing! Had everything you need to cook meals and spend time with family - including a fun kids’ room! Spent some time by the fire, enjoyed the game room. Secluded, wooded setting was nice for walks and watching the snow fall!
The pool table was a major disappointment. It has a huge rip in the felt, right in the middle of the table, which made playing pretty much impossible. There were a few minor things that were broken (a door handle downstairs and a dining room chair) but nothing that hampered our reason for being there Other than that, the house was perfect for our group to party in. Plenty of space. Plenty of beds. The kitchen was well stocked and was put to use. The deck was big enough to play cornhole on and still congregate.
Wonderful place. Had an amazing time. Would definitely visit again.
Our families had a great time between the hot tub, pool, game room, pond to fish in and fire pit, we all kept busy and enjoyed.
Had a Great time,plenty of room for my grandchildren, they loved the pool and game room! This was the only house that supplied everything,from plenty of towels to shampoo,conditioner, body wash,everything needed in kitchen,except,pizza slicer,lol
This place was nice and secluded. Lots of things to do close by and owners were great with responding when needed something. Kids enjoyed the pool and hot tub
Spacious home with lots to do! Our reunion with 3 couples & 6 kids enjoyed cooking in the gorgeous, well equipped kitchen, spreading out in the game room, and walking to the pond. The pool & hot tub were great perks for all of us. The deck was the perfect spot for us adults to look out over the kids in the pool & the yard. Thank you for having us! We highly recommend this home!
This house was a perfect fit for our shirt family getaway. With six adults and four children it was the perfect size. Location couldn't have been better, only 20 minutes from two state parks for hikes and picnics. The pond on site offered much entertainment for the children and even caught a fish. Plus we found a duck with eggs on the property. Management couldn't have been better to communicate with and was very helpful. We wouldn't hesitate to stay again.
