Winter ski trip stay
The cabin was great! We loved the hot tub and woodstove. It was perfect for our running group to do a long weekend ski trip. It is very clean. The only thing to make sure of is that you fully understand the bed arrangements. In our group, there was only one couple who wanted to share a bed. In the listing, we misunderstood how many rooms and beds there were (if people are not up for sharing a bed, there are 6 sleeping places) which meant one of us slept on the couch. It wasn’t a big deal, we had just read it badly. So read carefully! Other then that, it’s a great space and it was perfect for us.

Well-appointed cozy cabin
We had a great time during our stay: the kids loved the pingpong and exploring the property. The kitchen had most everything we needed. We did some skiing at Crystal Mountain so the location of the cabin was perfect. The owners were responsive to any questions or issues we had. We'll definitely be back!

Our second stay here
My family does a ski trip to Crystal Mountain each winter and we've made this our home for the past 2 trips. The youngest member of the family started calling it "The Holiday House" last year and it couldn't be more accurate a description. It's a great little house tucked back in the woods about 5 minutes away from the ski hill. There are a few visible neighbors, but honestly, you're far more likely to encounter deer and squirrels than to have any intrusive interaction with another human. It's a great place to unplug and recharge your OWN batteries. We absolutely love spending a full day on the trails and then coming back to soak in the hottub while the snowgear goes through the laundry. (Stargazing off the back deck on clear nights is an extra little bonus!) The beds are wonderful as well and the arrangements of bunk beds and queen beds in the two different bedrooms is great for us to spread out. One bedroom has an attached bathroom with a stand-up shower and the other bedroom shares the main bathroom that has a bathtub. I can't guarantee it will be everything you need but it is definitely all we can ask for to enjoy our trips Crystal Mountain! We love it!
