Beautiful and cozy with a beautiful balcony with a lake in the backyard. Close to all needed shops, restaurants, etc... Very comfortable place for a weekend retreat and more. The hot tub was amazing, kayaks were fun, and 2 comfy living rooms to chill and watch a movie. Owner is super responsive. Its also close to many hiking trails that are gorgeous, like waterfalls!

The house is right by highway 940. There is constant noise of cars and trucks which you see and hear from the porch. We left early because the noise was so bad. If you don’t mind this, the rest of the house is as advertised. Hosts respond quickly to texts.

Weekend getaway

My husband and I stayed here for a quick weekend getaway. The place was nice and clean. The only issue we had was the strong smell of campfire upon entering the house (from the fireplace) this was communicated to the owner. We made due and still had a great stay.

Short ski trip

Property location is perfect for BBJF. Owner was very responsive and helpful. The property is what it is, a little older but you're not paying a premium rate so you shouldn't be surprised. Overall very happy with our stay. One thing just FYI, although home is cozy, the downstairs was cool and the upstairs will dry you up. If dry air bothers you a vaporizer may be helpful.
