My family loved this location.. there was plenty of snow around the cabin making it so we didnt even have to leave the area for us to get the snow play we wanted...
This was my children's first experience with snow and this place was fantastic for it!

We had a great time at this cozy rental, but there are a few areas that could be improved. The check-in instructions were incorrect, and we had to call Vacasa late at night to get the correct door code. The house was generally clean, but it could use a deeper cleaning—there was noticeable dust on the ceiling fan. We also discovered towels in the dryer and sheets left in the washer, which housekeeping seemed to overlook.

Some features could use upgrades, like the old, unstable dining table and chairs, the broken toilet paper holder, and the basic front door lock with no deadbolt. The back area of the house was a highlight—our kids loved playing in the snow, and the quiet neighborhood made for a peaceful stay.

Despite these minor issues, we would absolutely stay again. It’s a charming space with lots of potential!

My husband and I stayed over Thanksgiving for some early season skiiing. The cabin is very clean and comfortable; the wood burning stove was a fantastic treat after a day on the slopes. The keurig coffeemaker in the unit didn't work, but we did just fine with the french press provided. All in all, a great holiday, thank you!
