My friends and I had a wonderful weekend at this super cute house. The hostess was very responsive and was quick to fix the hot tub. Worked great all weekend too. Everything was clean and house had everything you need to have a great time. We had a wonderful weekend snowboarding and enjoying the super close slopes. Highly recommend you stay here! We will be back.
