Great for a family!

Great place. Clean. Good location for skiing at Tamarack. We had a group of five (Dad, Mom, 2 sons in their early 20’s, Grandma, and our dog) and this house was the perfect size. We’d recommend it!

Great Property

All around 5 star stay, The house is a great value and was perfect for is and our pups for a weekend getaway in the snow. Proximity to the lake would likely make this a great summer location too- but it was good in the winter for some sledding and ice skating on the lake!Host had great communication too!

Just perfect

We came up to spend a week away and to hit the slopes. The house was in a great location you have a view of the slopes from your front door! The house was clean and had all the amenities you needed for a comfortable vacation. The host has great communication and allowed us to have our three dogs on vacation with us! We will be back! I’m already missing this property!

WOW! Great Find and Terrific Experience

We were lucky to find the Twilight Lake Chalet for a brief Valentine’s trip to Donnelly. The location on Lake Cascade is unparalleled, with great views of the ski runs at Tamarack Mountain Resort. It was easily accessible from town yet felt like a private chalet in the woods. The house was modern but comfy. The kitchen was well equipped with everything needed to have some great meals. Although our stay was just the two of us, it seems very well set up for families and kiddos.We had a beautiful snowfall so didn’t make it to the lake, but it’s so close to the beach for summer stays, we’ll be sure to return. The Chalet is well kept, folks were by to check the hot tub and a crew quietly slipped in and out to handle snow removal right after the storm. (very impressive).Virginia with Bonnbelhaus Properties was so responsive and helpful and took care of any questions and needs very responsively. We would highly recommend it.

Overrated.

Listing shows a sauna, it’s a mud room for jackets ect. Hotbtub didn’t work until last couple of nights. Driveway was not plowed and I got stuck trying to get in. Setting on the thermostat are odd, each morning you wake up the house around 57. Host Virginia was incredibly responsive but we ended up just leaving a day early.
