Amazing place! Extremely cozy and well equipped. Lots of space. The layout is perfect for large groups, the round living area is awesome. Very impressive construction. You don't often see places that are built with this much care. Jeff was a top notch host and very accommodating to our needs. We mentioned that we were interested in firing up the pizza oven ... he came by during the day while we out skiing and started the oven so that it was ready to go when we got home, he set us up with some pizza making supplies and ingredients for killer breakfast sandwiches. Great stay. We will be coming back next year for sure.
