We rented this property for over the New Year’s Holiday and traveled with 12 people with ages ranging from 14 to 55! I can tell you the pictures of this property don’t do it justice. As a believer that the heart of any home is the kitchen, this home delivers in spades! With multiple cooking spaces, dishwashers, and a huge center island w/seating, we found our group congregating here in the mornings and while cooking with laughter, discussions, and wonderful smells filling the house.
The large dining room table allowed everyone to sit together to talk about the day’s adventures down the ski slope, best boarding jump accomplished, or the fastest snow tuber of the day. The bench behind the dining table also allowed space for those who wanted to be near the action but not in it so they could read a book or catch up on email using the fast connection wi-fi provided.
The Great Room, Living Room and “game table” all tied together beautifully for our gamers that wanted a TV or puzzle at the “game table” area, and us older folks’ content to watch the fire and listen to the kids tell each other which bumper, button, paddle or A/B combination would result in their Mario Cart win! With large comfortable couches and chairs in the living room and couches and chairs in the great room, everyone could find a great spot for their chosen relaxing time.
The basement was a big hit with the kids ages 55 to 14 with the pool table, darts, and other games. The large TV in the basement provided additional movie viewing and video game space. Sometimes basement rooms are not popular with kids but that is not the case in this home. As the games and sauna are here, the kids were falling over each other trying to claim a basement room.
The property itself offers spectacular views, an outdoor fire pit, a picturesque pond and lots of room for outdoor play. As we were there in the winter, the snowman building, and snowball fight were an amazing way to burn off any excess energy. Due to a hectic ski schedule, we didn’t get a chance to do much hiking around the property but there would certainly be opportunity to do so. Of course, the covered hot tub makes a great way to relax the muscles from a long day skiing, hiking, biking, or exploring the quaint local towns and villages.
One my favorite vacation home rentals ever.
