Great little place for two and a dog.
Used this as a retreat after days of skiing. Nice neighborhood for dog walks. The kitchen is small, but functioned well for small meals for two. Proximity to ski resorts and constant beauty as you drive by the lake make this place a great value.

Cute and comfy - love all the details
We had such a nice time - this little apartment is sweet and obviously well-loved. All the handmade details were really impressive and fun for us to explore - it's really a masterpiece! The balcony was wonderful and the great music selection was a nice surprise. A perfect anniversary getaway.
