Weekend with Grandparents
Great place to relax with my kids and their grandparents. Grandparents loved sitting on the deck and watching kids canoo and catch fish below. Sleeping arrangements, kitchen, laundry all great spaces. Will definitely try to get a week in at the property again next year.

Beautiful Escape
We spent a weekend here with our large family and would definitely return. There was enough room for everyone to spread out. The house is nestled in a perfect little spot with the most beautiful view of the water. Having all the activities available made it easy for everyone to connect and create unforgettable memories!

Easter Skiing Weekend
We had an absolutely amazing time here! The proxomity to Monarch Ski Resort was a huge reason why we selected this place in addition to the lodge like feel. The magic of having it snow while we were there, two times!, was icing on the cake! The home was fully furnished and provided eveything we needed for a memorable long Easter/skiing weekend. Our boys were disappointed the lake was snow covered and the fishing was nill, but that didnt stop them from trying and begging we comw back during the summer.
