Pet friendly, Central Heat & AC, 2 fireplaces, Pool Table, hot tub & BBQ! Bear Valley for skiing, Murphys for wine tasting, and fishing at all the lakes!

The “W” House is a 2,700SF, three story custom chalet, perfect for peaceful multi-family vacations, located on over an acre of gorgeous forestland. Each floor of the “W” House has a large bedroom, each with an ensuite bathroom, which makes the space perfect for at least 3 separate families. Beautiful tall trees are outside of every window and we often get visitors from local wildlife. The “W” House is equipped with central heat and central air conditioning so that all guests stay comfortable, no matter what the season. We are also happy to accept no more than 2 pets per reservation for an additional $100 cleaning fee. The “W” House also includes a game room with board games, darts, a pool table, wet bar, Peloton bike, and a 70” smart TV! We will supply plenty of wood so that you can relax in front of the two fireplaces and stay cozy during the winter. We are also very baby/toddler friendly and have the major items any parents might need, including baby gates, travel cribs, kids dining items, video monitor, and more.

**Brand new hot tub has arrived and is sanitized between each reservation!**

We have a seasonal snow plow contract for your convenience that will plow the driveway during the winter, but due to the unpredictable nature of winter storms that vary from year to year, we have no control over public access roads or availability of electricity.

The unattached garage and separate lower level storage room is not for guest use and will remain locked and unoccupied during your stay.

Great place!
The home was lovely and had many things that seem minor but make a huge difference to me. I stay at VRBO’s often, and this place had all the minor details covered- blankets to cozy up with on sofa, bottled water and light snacks available after a long drive, and extras of things- towels, shampoos, etc. Great place!

Something for everyone
We all enjoyed the weekend from the grandparents to the grandkids. The kids loved the game room and they were able to sleep in the.same area without disturbing the other levels. We appreciated all the amenities. The weekend was made more special because so many of us could be together.

Fun times
We had a comfortable, fun, and wonderful stay. The house was well-equipped with supplies and amenities. Spacious rooms - tri leveled - quiet for all families. Enjoyed the fire pits, pool table, and jacuzzi. The host was communicative and responsive. She provided updates (weather, power, etc.), and quickly helped us with anything we needed.
