Great place for groups/families

Lots of beds and bedrooms. Wish there was one extra bathroom, but other than that our stay was great. 15 minutes to Tamarack, minutes to Donnelly and a working hot tub. What more could you ask for?

Property and Manager are Great, HOA are Sticklers

We all really enjoyed our stay at the property. We were in town for a bike race and it was perfect for bringing the family together. The house has a large open floor plan for the common areas which is great for everyone to hang out in. There is plenty of room in the garage and driveway to park multiple guests and the beds are super comfortable. The only negative was that we were yelled at and reported by what I assume was HOA member while trying to park cars in order of who had to leave in the morning. Anytime many people get together it is hard to coordinate. A lack of understanding from this person as we were actively trying to resolve our predicament while being friendly and courteous was definitely upsetting. This was a small negative experience that was over shadowed by a lot of positives about our stay. I do feel obligated to warn future renters about this encounter to try to prevent future conflict.
