This was a perfect cottage for our ski weekend at Crystal. It was clean, well stocked and a short drive from the hill. Would recommend and would stay there again.

We enjoyed the privacy of the location and it was a short drive to Crystal Mountain. The house was perfect for our two families. The fully equipped kitchen was helpful for the cooking we did. It is a cozy place and we look forward to staying here again!
