Great place to stay while we skied and snowboarded

We always take a small trip with our kids and their cousins between Christmas and New Years. This house was perfect for this year. Very short distance to crystal with a great little pizza and gas station near by.

Ski weekend getaway!

We rented the house for 2 night with another couple and their kids. We put the kids in ski school for the day and we enjoyed an adult day of skiing. We had a fire at the house when we got back and just had a spectacular weekend catching up with friends. We for sure will be back!!!

3 Star Review: Great Space, But Needs Some Improvements

The house had potential and worked well in terms of size and layout for our group. It’s in a convenient location and had a few nice features that we appreciated, like overall space, firepit out back was nice and the resort.That said, there were a few things that made the stay less enjoyable. The overall cleanliness of the home could definitely be improved—there were areas that felt like they hadn’t been thoroughly cleaned before our arrival. The Wi-Fi was very slow, which made it tough for anyone trying to stream, work, or stay connected. On top of that, the air conditioning was spotty and inconsistent, which made parts of the house uncomfortable, especially during warmer times of the day.
