I fell in love with this cozy little A-frame. I decided to surprise my partner with a last-minute low-hassle weekend getaway into snow and trees as a way for us to decompress. This place delivered 100x over.
We stayed in March after a couple of weeks without fresh snow on the mountain. There was snow along the sides of the roads the whole way there, but everything was well-plowed. Apparently the neighbor roads are plowed 2x daily in winter. We could have made the drive in a 2wd if needed. We arrived at night and despite our GPS not telling us we had arrived about a half mile before it was true, we had no issues finding or getting into the house.
We unloaded the car and found plenty of space for our luggage and food without feeling cramped. The kitchen was well-stocked with cookware, dishware, utensils, paper towels, soap, etc., but I am glad we brought cooking oil. There were even a couple of ice trays for the many cocktails enjoyed on the deck.
And what a deck! It faces out of the back of the house and is covered by trees. We bundled up and spent a lot of time relaxing on the deck reading the offered books, listening to the birds, and occassionally glimpsing the mountains as the trees swayed.
We took a stroll though the snowy community paths that run through the neighborhood and eventually made our way down to the community's river beach. While small, it was well-worth the slight scramble it took to make it down and back up. I think there was an easier path alternative, but we had fun going the hard way. The neighbors were scarcely seen or heard, and when they were, they were distantly friendly, which is exactly what we were looking for.
I can't forget the stars. We happened to have clear skies this weekend and we could see ALL of them! We took in the sky views from the hot tub and deck.
There were plenty of towels and blankets, as well as heat and heated water. We never ran cold unless we were outside.
My partner showed no mercy as he took me down playing with the supplied board games. The wifi was fast the few times we used it.
This was exactly the restorative, nature escape that we needed. We will 100% be booking this place again in the future. Thank you for the lovely time!
