A great cabin to stay in for a weekend getaway. We had a great view of the lake and enjoyed sitting on the deck looking out at the water. Everything was provided for us so packing was easy. The staff was accommodating and happy to have us stay there. Would recommend it to anyone.

We had a small issue with check-in—there’s no on-site staff, so everything is done online, and you need to text them a day in advance for instructions. Just something to keep in mind before arriving. That said, the technician who helped us was great and super friendly. The room was beautiful, newly renovated, and had all the amenities we needed. The property also has a lovely backyard with tennis courts and a barbecue area, which made our stay even more enjoyable!

We stayed in the House for two nights and it was a great home base for day trips to downhill ski resorts. Beds were comfortable and bedding was provided (in spite of description to the contrary on Hotels.com). Owner was great with communication ahead of time and we didn't encounter any issues during our stay.

This hotel was perfect. Very clean and quiet. Beds were very comfortable and the A/C unit was not very loud. Breakfast was easy to access and extremely delicious. The elevator worked very well and when you pushed the button it did not delay closing it's doors. Great amenities including a luxurious pool. Free fast Wi-Fi and very easy parking. There were lot of options for places to eat and a Walmart nearby containing food items you may need. To sum it up, out of the three days in a row were we...

We stayed here during a snow storm and it was great! The front desk staff were very helpful, and we slept well. I appreciated the fridge, microwave, and extra sink in our room. The room was also very clean.

The only issue we had was with the room above us. Apparently, they felt it was perfectly ok for their children to continuously run back and forth on the floor only taking a break to jump on the beds. When we alerted front desk of problem they immediately took care of it. Unfortunately, the problem began again at 9pm and we had to alert them again. They again took care of it immediately. Would absolutely stay here again.
