This location was perfect for a peaceful family fishing trip. We had snow during the stay and our driveway was cleared before we arrived back from the lake. Patricia was extremely helpful with securing the initial reservation, and responsive during our stay! We highly recommend and are likely to return!

Our stay at this airbnb was homey, cozy, easy, and memorable. We felt welcomed right away and cannot wait to come back. Welcome instructions were clear and simply put. Our host Patti was responsive, thorough, friendly, and always made sure we had what we needed! Our stay not only felt comfortable, but inviting. We loved the s’mores kit that was left for us and the dog bowls/ treats/ bags being included really made us feel welcomed to have a pet with us and not just having “pets tolerated” while we traveled. The hot tub was a perfect aprés ski experience, overlooking the gorgeous view of the lake and mountains from the yard. The house was super clean, accessible, fully stocked with everything we needed, and most importantly - fun! Its clear how much the owners care about this property in how much effort they put into wanting you to enjoy your stay. We will absolutely be back and are already planning a trip for the summer. Truly an incredible spot, thank you Patricia!!
