Perfect Home Base for Winter Fun

This spacious yet cozy house was the perfect home base for our family and friends reunion trip. We had 14 people ages 6 through 45 staying there, and everyone was comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans enough to cook and feed a hungry apres ski crew. We were missing a set of sheets and a few things at the outset, and had a little trouble getting into the house initially, but the communication was very easy with the rental team, and they were very accommodating!

Amazing family vacation to Deer Lake Retreat

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Just had an amazing family vacation. They like retreat is a wonderful place to stay. The property management company was so easy to work with and very accommodating. The home was clean and it was great having to not worry about amenities like trash bags and toilet paper. The kids had such a wonderful time in the lake and it was great that it was not deep water. The home was located within 30 to 60 minutes of most of our daily adventures. I would definitely recommend this location. We spent so much time in the yard and it was absolutely wonderful!

Had a problem with air conditioning. Some rooms very hot and at the same time other rooms very cold. Also had to buy a coffee maker. The one there didn’t work.
