Ski Trip with Friends

We had a short and wonderful stay at this chalet. It was a great place to crash after skiing all day. The house is beautiful and spacious; great common rooms, especially the gameroom/basement/bar area! Jen, the host, is very communicative and kind. We all slept very comfortably and enjoyed waking up to the snowy view of the woods! We will definitely be back for our next ski trip!

Great location-very clean

We were impressed with the cleanliness upon our arrival. And it was a good location for us to go hiking at Laurel Hill State Park. The plates and cups in the kitchen Were good quality. We appreciated, having towels, clean linens, and shampoo and body wash provided. As others have said, even though it’s near Trent Road, which can be busy, you don’t hear the traffic from the street. Highly recommend

Outstanding home

Beautiful home and furnishings.. Rooms are all very spacious with modern decor. Very close to everything but very private. Great gameroom and firepit. Kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need. The host provides toiletries, towels and bedding. We will definitely revisit this beautiful home.

Great Cabin!

This cabin was one of the best we have stayed at and plan to return. The location is easy to find and there are no neighbors. It is close to the road, and you can hear the traffic, but it wasn't too bad. The house is very nice and well equipped. The golf game in the basement was awesome. There is a charcoal grill and there was charcoal and lighter fluid in the garage (not sure if it's always provided or if someone left the supplies). There is firewood provided but they are large logs and no kindling. Next time we will bring kindling with us since without it was impossible to build a fire. The cabin was very close to the local park and also a pizza place that also serves ice cream. This is the only cabin we have been to over the years that we actually want to go back to!

Why they chose this property

I loved this home because of it's location outside of the resorts away from the hustle and bustle, how private it was for a true mountain experience and how centrally located it is to enjoy an enormous amount of outdoor activities.
