Snow Otter Haus was Fabulous!

This was the perfect spot for our ski trip! Right across from the chalet & beautiful views of the mountain, we were very comfortable here. For two adult couples, & one teen - this cabin had just the right amount of space. We all loved the fireplace as well. We'll definitely recommend.

Great enf-of-summer getaway

My adult sons and I spent labor day weekend here and thoroughly enjoyed it. We traveled around to sightsee and came back to a cozy fire on the patio and sauna. Would recommend it. Appreciated being able to include my dog on this trip.

Cozy chalet in the mountains

The chalet was clean, well equipped, and comfortable. It sits tucked at the base of big Powderhorn mountain, so it’s right in the woods and surrounded by nature and walking trails. The check-in process was easy and our stay, although one night, was quite enjoyable. Don’t miss the opportunity to view the waterfalls nearby and to travel to the top of the ski flying hill at Copper Peak.

A little outdated

The inside of the house is outdated and needs some remodeling. Some the furniture is old and broken down. We had drying towels but no wash cloths. I was not aware that the house was a 2 story duplex when I rented it. The neighbors downstairs had a barking dog and a crying baby. Not exactly relaxing. it.
