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.
