Wonderful stay at the Salt Box

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely home. It had all the amenities for our large family including a big outdoor grill. It was a very peaceful getaway. We liked the close proximity to the Crystal Mountain Resort and walked our dog over there each day. Thanks for a wonderful place to stay.

Perfect Getaway at Crystal Mountain

This is a great getaway location with great amenities located on Crystal Mountain Resort. The resort has so many amenities that you don't have to leave the resort or you can be close to some great little towns like Beulah and Frankfort!

Nice, clean (few cobwebs), pet friendly. Kitchen was pretty well supplied. The main downstairs bedroom was lovely with a lot of windows and a woody natural view ….but only a double bed (ugh!!!) with a homemade bed lift, it was weird but functional.there was no suite bathroom, had to go out to the kitchen’s bathroom. The upstairs wasn’t used but looked nice and functional with a shared bathroom. It was on a cul-de-sac, so it was quiet and a nice area to walk your dog!

Wonderful stay

We greatly enjoyed our stay in this home. I brought my parents, who are in their 80s, and it was a perfect place for us. There was a ground floor bedroom and bathroom. The location was nice being surrounded by the woods and close enough to the beaches to drive there. We would stay here again.

Went up north with my nieces family so her 4 year old could try skiing. Perfect location for this. Very cozy and the bigger bedroom with table worked well for work meetings.

Perfect Fall Getaway!

The house was tucked into the woods with lots of trees around. We took a drive to see all the fall colors changing which was just a short drive away. As a family we all hung out and just enjoyed the fireplace and playing games. Perfect weekend away to relax!!

The property is everything it advertises and better. Very, very clean, great kitchen pots & pans, dishes, and silverware. Nice selection of games and puzzles. Very comfortable beds and great decorations. Highly recommend the property if you want a relaxing and close to the resort stay.

Ski Trip

The property was clean and well stocked. Everything went smoothly. There was no hot tub on the property, which was the only draw back due to the listing title. Easy walk or drive to Crystal Mountain amenities. Grill worked and all appliances functioned. Would definitely stay again!

Great place

The house was super cozy and nicely appointed without being cramped or cluttered. The master bedroom has beautiful light and tree views, and doubles nicely as a separate laptop work space. The living room is nicer than it looked in the photos. We loved staying here and hope to again.
