Wonderful place - Amazing location

We were a group of older kids and parents staying over a long weekend for ski race finals. The house was perfect for us. It was nice to have a complete upstairs and complete downstairs. The kids really enjoyed having the two spaces so they can watch their programs and hang out and us adults can hang out upstairs. The kitchen is very functional and great for making large meals. Everything you need is there. There are plenty of bathrooms as well. Overall, the layout and the functionality of the place was absolutely perfect. Also, the shuttle picks you up right out front and takes you where you need to go. This was really awesome because everybody can come and go as they pleased. We ate family style breakfast, and family style dinners every day. Big props to the owners and management.
