Great communication with Jeremiah. The house itself is really fun. We had two families with kids aged 13 to 20, and everyone found something enjoyable to do in the game room. We had some intense ping-pong and pool tournaments, and a few people really got into the video games. The adults appreciated the hot tub as well.

This house was perfect for our family over Christmas! They had a Christmas tree all lit up for us when we arrived! The rooms were cozy - the game room was a huge hit - the hot tub was huge and so nice to sit in and look at the stars! This house had everything we needed for a very special family Christmas and the host was responsive and communicated well! We would definitely love to stay there again!

Host was very responsive with any questions or concerns. The only issues were the property was not stocked with toilet paper and paper towel. There was also some clothing items from previous guests that were found.Otherwise, everything was really great and everyone had a phenomenal time.

We enjoyed this property! It is close to all of our planned activities in Hatcher Pass. The house is spacious and has a great gameroom and a hot tub. We were so busy we didn't have a chance to try out the hot tub, but we'll stay and extra day here next time. The property is very private and comfortable. We slept well after a very full day outdoors each day.

Nice spot in a nice town

The house was great for the number of people we had. The deck was nice to hang out on and the kitchen was great for cooking meals. The property and rooms were clean and comfortable. Only issue we had was on with the Vrbo side of things and once I have communication with Jeremiah, everything went smooth and he was very helpful.
