Excellent stay! The house was super clean, conveniently located and well stocked. The beds were comfy! Plenty of room for our group to spread out! We will be back!
We stayed here to celebrate an early Thanksgiving with my father who lives nearby. It is a very comfortable home with very large bedrooms and comfortable beds.
Very clean and well supplied. Lots of room for games, talking and dining. We didn’t use the backyard, but it certainly looked nice! My sisters and I highly recommend this home.

Good communication from host. Had issues with toilet and sink but wasn’t much they could do to remedy due to winter.
Great location, amazing backyard with an even better fire place that can easy have 10 people sit around the fire and be spaced out. Property manager/owner was extremely responsive. 10/10
Very nice place. My kids, ages 11, 8 & 6, loved the amenities. The air hockey, foosball table, and tetherball kept them busy when we weren't out on a hike or bike ride during our annual fall trip. The house was clean and well-kept. It definitely has a retro vibe that they leaned into. My wife was nostalgic over how much it reminded her of her childhood home because of the style and decor. The location was great! We were able to ride our bikes from the house to the bike path along the riverfront. The backyard was a great size, and we used the fireplace to make s'mores one night. The room with the bunk beds was perfect for our kids. Overall, a wonderful house!
We had a very nice and comfortable stay for 7 adults. We loved the vintage charm but with updated bathrooms and new appliances. All the beds were comfortable - even the bunk beds. Great location for skiing at Granite Peak. We enjoyed playing air hockey and foosball in the first floor game room. Check in and check out were easy peasy and host Brittany was very responsive. Nice big backyard that we didn’t get to use but made for a lovely setting. No issues or problems to speak of. There are 2 bathrooms but only 1 shower which was not a big deal. There are railroad tracks behind the house and we did occasionally hear the train rumble. It was not a problem for us but could possibly be for a sensitive sleeper. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend. Oh and the bathroom doors lock by pushing in and turning right. :-)
