- "We stayed for only one night but we were happy with the hotel. Check-in process was quick; front desk staff was super friendly. We booked a room for four which had stairs. There was a portable heater at the lower floor which worked great and managed to warm up both floors considerably. The bathroom was a little small, but not a big inconvenience for a 1-night stay. The walls are a little thin and you can hear the next room, so if you are an early or light sleeper, might be good to put on some ear plugs! Pity we did not have time to try out the hot tubs in the courtyard; they looked fun."

- "We were really happy with the accomodation, impressed by the views, was really clean with amazing bathrooms. All the facilities and little details were available, super cozy and warm. Very sunny during the day, we loved it and the location to other amenities was awesome! We'd definitely pick this place again. The only slight negative I'd say was that there was everything we needed like blankets/electric blankets so therefore we wish we hadn't have felt the need to load our vehicle up with extra duvets etc when we didn't need to. I think this was just the host being concerned for our comfort so in no way a major thing but we'd bring less next time. Overall we feel like we were very looked after by Vanessa."

- "Great location and house was lovely and spacious. Great fire place and great to have a drying room after skiing so hang up all our wet gear. Also great that there were some pantry staples that we could use after forgetting sugar and flour. Only comment - needs tea towels. They ask that all dishes are dried and put away but supply no tea towels to do so. Overall - great stay! We all loved it."
