Family ski weekend

A great location for a family ski weekend. A very short drive (maybe 3 minutes) to the slopes, and a nice cozy cottage to come back to at the end of the day (or any time in between when the lift lines get too long). The cottage was well equipped and comfortable for our group of 7. We would love to visit in the summer to enjoy the outdoor area as well.

Second time is even better

This is our second year celebrating the holidays with family and we couldn’t be more pleased. It’s so comfortable and inviting. With our large group ranging in ages 8-78 it’s perfect with the two living areas (we rent both sides), two kitchens and plenty of seating. Comfortable beds and pillows along with extra blankets for snuggling with. We look forward to more get togethers here!! It’s perfect!
