    5 Bedroom Chalet on WI River. Kayak, Swim. 15 Minutes From Granite Peak Skiing
    More than expected…
    5 / 5
    Everything was very clean, nicely decorated, and available for use. It was relaxing and enjoyable to have plenty of space. The property itself is delightful - there is just the unfortunate bit of an occasional short train nearby and a decent amount of road noise from the highway across the river. It gets quieter at night, and isn't loud enough to hear from inside. Overall, excellent experience and we'd love to return!…

    This property was exactly what we needed for a six person ski trip to Granite Peak. Fred was incredibly communicative and helpful, and we knew exactly where everything was upon arrival as a result of his direction. The amazing TV setup gave us the perfect setting to relax in after our days on the slopes, and all of the beds were super comfortable - can't recommend this spot enough! Thanks Fred!…
