Summary: Thus was the perfect getaway for us! Its hard to find pkaces with our reactive dog, but this place was perfect! She loves the outdoors and the walling trail was perfect, we really enjoyed how secluded it was and the views were spectacular! Would definitely book again
Brianne G. Feb 25, 2025 04:22:47 AM
Summary: This was one of the most beautiful rentals we have ever stayed in. The cabin was gorgeous and fully stocked. The layout was perfect for our family of five. The miles of trails to explore right on the property was a huge highlight. We spent so much time snowshoeing and cross country skiing and then enjoyed relaxing in the sauna. The owners were lovely and easy to communicate with.We are very much hoping to return and have already recommended this property to friends and family.
Jason J. Feb 22, 2025 08:35:33 AM
Summary: We had an amazing stay! Family of 5 with 3 teenagers and we had more than enough space to spread out in this brand new home. The spacious layout and decor is exactly what you’d expect of a secluded mountain retreat. Sid was an excellent host and helped out with any questions we had, and check in was a breeze. We were lucky enough to get 12” of snow during our stay and he cleared the driveway and large back deck right away. Sunday River was a short easy 30 minute drive away. We will definitely be returning!
