We LOVED our stay. The house had so much to do. Even with a rainy weekend, we enjoyed the entire home. We loved the game room, and relaxing in the hot tub and the sauna after a day on the slopes. So many restaurants within a 10 min drive. The house was clean and so well organized. Remotes in all rooms were mounted in holders in each room and light switches labeled. The kitchen had everything we needed and organized. Directions to all areas of the house had clear directions/videos. It was all so user friendly. The owner really took into consideration what families would like and how to make it a simple and relaxing stay. We were sad to leave but already looking forward to booking a summer trip here at the Modern Birch.
