This cabin was perfect for our ski weekend—comfortable beds, a well-stocked kitchen, and plenty of space to relax after skiing. The location was convenient, and check-in was smooth. Highly recommend for anyone skiing in the area.

We had a great time at this cabin for thanksgiving with our whole family. The space worked really well for us with the kids area more in the basement and another living area upstairs for the adults. The games and toys were geared for kids slightly older than our group (ages 2-6), but they still found plenty to entertain themselves with. Tuul was very responsive as a host as well. There was no ground coffee (only k cups) when we arrived, and no oil. Not issues, but just more of an FYI for future guests! There were plenty of spices (including salt and pepper), coffee filters, and the kitchen was well equipped with plenty of dish and bakeware and good knives!

This cabin is great and the area is beautiful , plenty of beds and bathrooms. We were 7 but easily the house can host 12+ comfortably. We were a 5 minutes drive to the slopes and tubing area. The pool is also a short drive as are the ‘inside the resort area’ restaurant. Indoor and outdoor spaces were great and very comfortable. Linens and towels are of very good quality and Tuul was very responsive and helpful.

The house was perfect for my family Thanksgiving getaway! Tuul was very responsive to all my questions. I love that the Christmas tree was up, which was perfect for family pics! Would definitely rent again!!

Great place to getaway for any type of vacation: family, friends, retreat, relaxing weekend/week. We WILL be going back. This place is the true definition of peace/calm/home! So much space. We had two families (family of 4 and family of 5) all of the kiddos loved having their own space in the lower level and the parents got to enjoy the upper levels. Highly recommend!
