Overall a great spot

This is a great property for large groups. The game room and hot tub were fun for everyone and the proximity to Big Trees and snow was great. The only thing that was less than ideal was a surprise power outage. There is a generator on-site, but it did not turn on and there was no way to get it going without going into a locked closet. The owners took a long time to respond to many calls and texts, which was not ideal. While it wasn’t their fault that the power went out or that the generator wasn’t working, it was frustrating to not be able to get ahold of anyone. Once they finally responded, they sent a handy man out to fix the generator. The main power came on later that day. They were very apologetic and offered to buy pizza for the group as well as sent out a handyman to fix the issue, which we appreciated.

Weekend getaway

Super cute cabin with lots of entertainment options. Check-in was straightforward and easy. The kitchen has spices, dishes, pans, and anything else you need. It was a short trip this time but I will definitely be back again. Monique was very responsive to my text and messages.
