It's a very nice family friendly cabin for accessing the lake or the slopes, comfortable and cozy in a lovely quiet forest. I was disappointed that the spa and grill were not in usable order for our stay and that we couldn't trust that the dishes in the cabinet were clean.

Overall cleanliness of home was fair. Couch was badly stained (gross actually), spiders and cobwebs in corners and hanging from lampshades. Needed a good deep clean. Towels & sheets were top-notch. Beds were comfortable. Grill barely worked.

You advertised and provided instructions to use the indoor fireplaces but there was signs all over telling us we cannot use it. We decided to stay here based off the offered amenities. Very disappointing. Also, the stairs from upper deck to lower deck are incredibly unsafe and were very wobbly. Gigantic gap can be seen from underneath and the stairs are only held on with a few nails or screws....not attached properly.

Comfortable home for weekend getaway

We had a great stay at this property. It was very conveniently located near Gunstock Ski Resort. The hot tub was perfect after a long day skiing and tubing. The home was clean and well-furnished.

Mountain bike trip

We loved the location only a half hours drive from Highland MTB park. Lots of restaurants on the drive to chose from too. The house had lots of space for us to relax after a days riding, and the hot tub was a bonus! Good value for the location and number of beds.

Great weekend trip!

Overall this property was great! We loved the hot tub and were very happy with the space! We did see quite a few ants and spiders in the house, but that was the only complaint we had. The management team was very responsive to any messages I sent them and even offered early check-in. I would definitely stay here again!

Great house, but big brother is watching

Nice house, pretty location. But there are signs everywhere telling you what you can and can't do. And caretaker is across the street. You really kind of feel like you are being watched.

Perfect spot~!

Clean, spacious and comfortable. Well stocked kitchen, comfy beds, nice linens. We enjoyed the deck and the hot tub, did not get to use the fire pit. We only stayed 2 nights and we wished we had booked for longer. We will definitely try to book this house again the next time we are coming to the area. Rental agent very responsive to any questions we had. Quiet street

Quirky with potential

Nice bedrooms and bathrooms. Kitchen is decent. Big deck with all day sun and great sunsets! There is a smallish downstairs sitting area that is not comfortable. The upstairs sitting area needs updating. The couch is stained and dirty. Overall we were satisfied with this house and became fond of it over our 3 night stay.
