Hot tubs were awesome. The fact that almost all the bedrooms had ensuite bathrooms was fantastic. Nearly too many bedrooms to count. Easily slept 18 with little-to-no bed sharing. Great location for Sugar Mtn, very short drive.

This was the absolute perfect house for our group of four families to celebrate together. We had adults, kids, and teens, and the layout could not have been better. There was plenty of space for everyone to gather, laugh, and spend time together, while still allowing each family and individual to have their own private space. Everyone having their own bathroom was a huge bonus and made the stay incredibly comfortable.Our host, Mike, was wonderful! Communication and planning was easy and timely, and the home was spotless upon arrival. The kids had so much fun exploring the area, and the location itself was truly perfect for our trip. We couldn’t have asked for a better place and would absolutely stay here again!

We loved the size of the house with a bathroom for every bedroom, the different living rooms, and the game room. There was a little more wear and tear than the pictures showed and we had trouble with a few things not usable, including the hot tubs, but the owner was very responsive and even had a technician come work on them. There was some disappointment that the hot tubs didn’t work the whole time, but we still had a good time all being there together. The app with all the property information was nice to have available and I appreciated how communicative the owner was. We enjoyed hiking up the old ski hill behind the property to find the abandoned ski lift at the top as well. We would consider staying here again.

The place was huge and perfect for big groups. We loved the amount of parking available, the easy access to the neighborhood amenities, and the spacious rooms. The place could have been vacuumed better and the pull out couch beds did not seem to have been opened up & cleaned as we found tissues and crumbs upon opening the pull out. However, we quickly fixed that ourselves and had a great stay. Aside from that, the place was perfect and we would come back again!

Very nice home with everything you need! All the cooking essentials, 2 living room, nice game room, large dining room tables to fit us all in one room was so nice! The fire pit was perfect for the chill evenings. The kids nook in one of the bedrooms was so cute and kept them entertained. Having double / washer dryers were nice as well. Loved it! Only recommendation is some new mattresses and on demand water heater. Other than that, it’s perfect! And we will most likely be back next year!!

This home was everything we needed and more for our wedding weekend. With our previous accommodations falling through shortly before our wedding, we felt blessed to find this home and owner. The house was clean with personal touches and so much space. We fit 20 of our closest family and friends, enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit, and had an ideal wedding weekend. Communication was efficient and seamless.

This house is just about perfect!

We had everything we needed and more. The kitchen was well stocked, the bathrooms had plenty of towels and toiletries, the beds were super comfy, the game room was a HUGE hit for both kids and grownups, and the pool was right across the street. The owner even provided extra towels for the pool and hot tubs. We had a great time using the fire pit too. Altho some of the Adirondack chairs around the pit were not fully assembled, we really didn't need them since there was ample built-in seating. There was plenty of space for the entire family to be together or hang out in small groups as there were several sitting areas along with the front deck and backyard. What a lovely home to spend a fun week in!

What a great place for our yearly family get together! We had 25 people ages 2 to 78 and there was room for all. Just know you’ll get your steps in at this one, as it is pretty big. HahaThe owner was SUPER responsive and wonderful to all of our needs. There is tons of parking. There are things to do inside and out. There is space to gather all together and space to spread out to be on your own. The tennis courts could definately use a lot of attention, plus they need pickleball lines. But we still used them and were very happy. The pool is great and everything is walking distance. Thank you for a super enjoyable week!

Fantastic Lodge

My entire family, 21 people ages from 2-70, stayed at this awesome mountain lodge and it met all our needs. It was large enough to feel like we weren’t on top of each other, but was also cozy and plenty of entertaining space for all of us to gather. The kids loved the playroom, hot tubs, and sledding down the big hill in the back yard. Close enough to both ski resort towns and Boone to not feel like long drives. Hot tubs were great after a long day of skiing. We cooked a lot of our meals at the house and they had everything you could think of for cooking ware, spices, dinnerware’s for all ages. This lodge helped make our family trip incredible and we had an amazing time. The host Mike is very accessible and responsive to help with anything you need.
