What guests say
4.97
Out of 5 from 182 reviews on Airbnb. 97% are five stars.
Guests mention most: location (84), hospitality (53), cleanliness (44), comfort (40), the river (39), pets (23), the outdoor spaces (22), the kitchen (21), the view (18), and skiing (10).
The kitchen was super stocked with great dishes and a complete cookware set, felt like we were cooking out of our own kitchen.
The bedroom was great, a king size bed with curtains and shades to keep it dark so you can sleep in, and 2 large closets for you to unpack into and feel at home.
The bathroom was sparkling clean, too. Great shower, plush towels, and awesome washer and dryer!
We really enjoyed the (short) walk to the river with our dog. The owners two dogs came out and greeted us very sweetly when we would walk by. Owners are next door, but only if you need them! This place is SO CUTE, COZY, HOMEY, we can’t wait to come back again.
