Great stay

The sauna is only two people. A hot tub would be a wonderful addition.

Great place for families

This place is spacious. Our kids were able to unwind and play. The yard was great as well. Beds were comfy and the sauna was a bonus. Close to town and the ski hill. We will be back. Host was extremely helpful and quick to reply. Thank you.
