The kitchen had everything we needed. The attached garage is a huge plus in inclement weather (and we had a lot of it). The home is nice & clean with plenty of towels, bed sheets, and consumables like paper towel.

I'd stay here again.

The house clean, comfortable, roomy, and stocked with everything we needed. It was well located to ski at Crystal Mountain and Caberfae, and not too far from the Homestead as well. We had a great weekend.
