Gorgeous Home
This was a gorgeous home in a beautiful nature setting. We saw multiple deer right from the deck. Great size house for our large family. The second living room with kitchenette really came in handy. You just can't beat having three bathrooms. Awesome kitchen too. We all had a blast. Will definitely stay here again.

Annual Family Ski Trip
This is a beautiful home, filled with all the amenities you will need for a long weekend of skiing. As you walk in the front door, you will discover a very practical room off the foyer to store your ski equipment during your stay. This is the first home we have seen with this feature. It was wonderful!! This house is so spacious, our family group of 16 never felt crowded. There are three levels with bedrooms and bathrooms on each level, plus two separate living areas. The kids enjoyed the lower level and the adults the main Livingroom level. The kitchen is fully stocked with utensils, pots, pans, dishes, and spices. You don't need to bring anything extra with you. (Just lots of food!) This house is situated very close to Summit Village, but not far from the ski hills. Our hostess was a joy to work with, very friendly and always available to talk to. Our family will definitely return to this home to make more awesome memories. Thank-you Kathy!!!

Great Stay!!
We booked this for 14 people and we fit just perfectly! The place is much bigger as well than how the photos showed it online. It was a great setup with the different levels of the house as well. Kathy and her husband were so sweet too, we had a problem trying to start the fireplace and he walked us through it until we got it on. This was a great place for a group that is going on a ski trip. It was about only 10 mins away from the resort with a ton of parking. Would rebook again next year for our trip :)
