Great access to ski area. Perfect for groups or large families.

Ski lift & ticket office is easily walkable. Super clean. Only the WiFi kept this from a 5* rating... very slow so we couldn’t stream videos for the kids in the evenings.

Ski Weekend

This was our second time staying at this property. It fits our 3 families of 4 perfectly with room to spare. It's a one minute drive to the slopes! The house is equipped with everything you need for cooking at home and the beds are comfortable. It's so nice to have a dryer for all of our ski clothes and the huge bathtub was an added bonus after a long day of skiing. We will definitely be back.

Clean property with great location!

Great location at a good price! It’s dated but very clean and well maintained. It has a great open living space and comfortably fit 6 adults and 6 kids! One min drive to the Tannebaum and Yodeler lodges (would have been a bit far to walk with kids and ski gear). Great view of the slopes. Vince was very responsive and great to deal with! We definitely enjoyed our last ski weekend of the season!

Great house for large group!

House was great size for our large group! Fireplace was very enjoyable and the view was beautiful. We chose to drive and park at Yodeler or Tanenbaum lodge as the walk, although doable, would have been quite a chore after a full day of skiing. Only complaint was that the linens could have been better stocked - need more blankets (only 3 in entire house) and dish towels were greatly missed when drying all our dishes! We hope to stay at Morningstar again.
