Summer Family Vacation
My family enjoyed our stay, the place was amazing and very big, lots of stuff to do, however, the beach isn’t the best and too small too many people for a small beach! It’s best for relaxing and just hanging out with the family, and that is just what we needed to bonded. The host was very helpful and always there to answer any questions! I will recommend this place for your family vacation!

BEWARE. SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS.
They promise a shuttle that takes no longer than 15 minutes and a safe parking space. Both turned out to be lies. I was left alone in an unlit parking lot in the middle of the woods near no businesses where I could at least wait in safety. Cell service in this lot is not good and I was told by property management to call an uber because they could not determine when a shuttle would even be able to reach me. The uber driver could not even find the lot. You have to check in and check out at an office off property which is super inconvenient. From the time I checked in to the time I finally arrived at the rental took 3 HOURS. In speaking with their driver, several complaints have been lodged by guests and drivers about proper equipment, towing, snow plows in the weather and Retreatia has done nothing to rectify those issues. They promise convenient, safe travel but take not actions to ensure that will be a reality upon your arrival. The property itself is adorable, but you cannot park near to unload so you have to haul all of your ski bags and luggage uphill through the snow and it is not a short walk. The property also states that it is ski in/ski out. It is not. It states that it is across the street from lifts. Also inaccurate. I have lodged a complaint with VRBO and Retreatia and was promised a response within one day. That was three days ago and the only message I have gotten since that promise was to please give them a review. Well here it is. My stay was terrifying.

Winter escape
Really enjoyed the outdoor experiences of the fire pit, sauna, hot tub, walking, and skiing. Great place for pets. Lots of space for a group. All the appliances work fine but the dishwasher, stove and double ovens are old tired. I would stay here again.
