"The home looks just as it does in the photos. It’s very cute in an eclectic ski cabin-type of way. We arrived at night so we didn’t see the peek-a-boo view of the lake until morning. It made me wish we had an extra day to explore more of our surroundings. My pre-teen daughter and her friend enjoyed the loft area and had it to themselves. There was plenty of space, and the fact that each room had its own temperature controls allowed everyone to sleep at a temperature that suited them."

8/10 Good
"It was a wonderful stay overall. Got a suite for my fiancée bday weekend. Our refrigerator was not working properly and the in suite washer dryer didnt function well. Good thing we didn't spend too much time in the room but for $600 a night you would think the room would be fully functional. The game room had a pool table and it was in rough shape and the pool sticks were pretty bad. Again not a huge deal but it didnt feel like a top tier hotel with smalt felt there was not a lot of attention to detail. The overall property was pretty cool. Highly recommend the Swiftwater Cellars for all you meals amd the sociallandingarea was fun. The property shuttle was a great convenience and the drivers were amazing and friendly."

"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Huntley Lodge was the perfect spot for our group of 28 (16 kids!) to gather for a week. The kids made use of the pool and play areas every day, and the parents loved having communal spaces for such a large group. The outdoor kitchen was awesome, and fully stocked. We also appreciated that each family had their own cabin to retreat back to at night. It was the exact experience we were looking for - private and plenty of space for kids to roam, beautiful views, and still only 15 minutes to town. The property caretaker was extremely helpful and available!"
