This is such a cozy little place that allowed us to disconnect from the world for a little while. Close to gas stations and food while capturing the woodsy vibe. We loved it!

Very comfy place for a weekend stay. It has everything you need and is very clean. We didn't get a chance to explore the property because it rained. It was very pleasant for staying in and watching movies. Thanks, Kris!

Willow Cabin
Great cozy place close to the slopes! Worked wonderful for our family and the woodstove was a huge bonus to warm up to after a day of skiing and tubing. Would definitely consider staying here again! We would love to see all this place has to offer as we did not get a chance to venture out. Beautiful pond and gazebo across the street as well. Thank you for sharing your place with our family! ❤
