Great house for big groups with lots of activities

Stayed here with friends and it was perfect for a large group of adults. We loved all the games available at the house and it was very clean and updated. Would definitely recommend this house to any big group and Shanna was a very helpful and responsive host.

Large Family Weekend in the Mountains

We booked The Challenge House for a long weekend away with family. The house had more than enough space to host 13 adults, 2 children and a small puppy. Everyone had a private room (important detail we missed in the photos is that 2 of the rooms did not have a door). Not an issue, as the rooms are private - but something to note! There is also more than you could dream of to keep a large group occupied without even leaving the property. So many games for all age groups! The pool table, hot tub, fire pit to name just a few. Two indoor fireplaces w/ TVs allowed the group to utilize the entire home. We fit everyone around the table for meals which was wonderful as we did not find many homes that could accommodate. The house is very comfortable, cozy, and has the 'cabin' feel we were looking for but with modern upgrades and conveniences for a winter getaway! Another detail that made the experience was the host, Shanna. She was quick to respond, and answer any questions we had. You can really tell the attention to detail that went into the renovation and the thought that it took to pull the concept of this home together. Well done!
