Feb 15, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The amenities at this house are above and beyond! So many thoughtful extras – extra pillows, blankets, toiletries, spices, crockpot, you name it! This is not a generic place to stay – it feels like you’re staying at someone’s very curated home. There were even Valentine’s Day decorations because we were there at Valentine’s Day, and the host left a Valentines cake for us to enjoy! I would 100% come back and recommend this house to anyone. We skied two days at Perfect North, which was just a 15 minute drive. So many little restaurants and cute things in close proximity – I wish we had time to explore the town.10 stars if possible! ##### Ruth B. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brad T.

Dec 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Such a beautiful home. Sad we didn't get to spend more time there. Had everything you need. Thankfulfor the toothbrushes and toothpaste since we forgot ours! It's an old house but well maintained. The stairs were a little rough for me because i had a knee replaced recently, but other than that I have NO complaints. You just need to be aware of the stairs and be able to go up and down them. Will definitely come back next time I need a place for my entire family in that area. I included a pic of the sunrise this morning after a fresh snow last night. Absolutely stunning. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6b687c36-68ca-4e23-a652-0572d32d441b-1765742884670.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Heather H. Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tammy H. Feb 26, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Host was so welcoming! Such a cozy yet roomy home away from home with all the extras! Everything you could ever need is stocked and ready to go! Beautiful views of the river! Huge porch with swing and lighting! You definitely must see to appreciate all this place has to offer! I have never seen such a well stocked rental. The bar, the porch, the fire pit, the coffee bar and retro milk shake maker were huge hits with the family. The kids loved the bunk room and under the stairs cubby. 5 star rating on every aspect! Loved it and will definitely be back!! ##### Tammy H. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2026
