Leanne’s cabin was very comfortable and it looked just like the photos. It was a short drive to the Village and ski slopes. The cabin had everything we needed. I hope to come back again!

My family and I had a wonderful stay. The kids loved the secondary living room, and we found the house stocked with an incredible amount of amenities. Lots of games, DVDs, kitchen supplies, and even a hot coco station. Great location, only a few minutes drive to the village. Better than advertised!

Great house for a family with an amazing host. Leanne was quick to respond to any questions. The neighborhood was quiet most of the time. It is close to town, restaurants and activities.
It has a great layout thats all on one level with 2 separate living spaces. The kids loved having their own hangout place with a tv, games (board games and Foosball table), bunks beds and bathroom. It would also be good for 2 couples to have separate spaces.
The kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked with all the basic( toilet paper, paper towels, towels) and plus other amenities. The kitchen had spices, oil, a coffee bar with cream, sugar, tea and a Hot chocolate bar with hot chocolate, marshmallows and apple cider. Leanne even left us a welcome bottle of wine.
It was very windy so we didn’t get to use any of the outside amenities in the yard (Hot tub, fire pit, BBQ and seating).
