Great place for skiing and family groups

My sister and I each took one half of this place. It is great for getting everyone together to play games in the evening. Each side has its own kitchen so we took turns cooking dinner. It is close to Crystal Mountain. Deer kept coming to look at us, which was fun.

Second time is even better

This is our second year celebrating the holidays with family and we couldn’t be more pleased. It’s so comfortable and inviting. With our large group ranging in ages 8-78 it’s perfect with the two living areas (we rent both sides), two kitchens and plenty of seating. Comfortable beds and pillows along with extra blankets for snuggling with. We look forward to more get togethers here!! It’s perfect!

Great Time & Priceless Family Memories!

Ed - we truly enjoyed your vrbo home; it truly worked out perfectly for our group with both sides and to be able to move the wall between us and to have 2 kitchens was AWESOME! The decor in the house is so nice too! We had many moments at the bonfire with our entire family each night. What a great Labor Day weekend and we THANK YOU. The house is wonderful! Loved it and all our great memories from the weekend! Thanks again, Mark & Kathleen DeMers

Great location

We enjoyed our stay in Unit B for a ski weekend. We were so close to Crystal Mt, but yet we had our own big space! We like to cook in but don’t always remember every little item. This rental had us covered! The kitchen had many supplies and dishes. We had everything we needed. The hosts had prompt communication and willing to accommodate us. Everything was clean and we felt very safe. We recommend this rental for others!

Comfortable for a group of 12!

Ed's place was cozy but also spacious enough to accommodate 12 guys on a golf outing. Bedrooms are small but were perfect to give each guy their own space. 4 bathrooms were ample and the living rooms (we rented both A & B sides of the home) were more spacious than the pictures do justice. Room enough for 6 cars to park as well. Overall we were thrilled with Ed's home and it was a great launch pad for us to play that areas great golf courses. Lastly, check in as SUPER easy and prompt.

Cabin for 8 Golfers - AWESOME!!!!

Cabin was perfect for 8 golfers in town for an annual golf trip. It is near Arcadia Bluffs (less than 20 minutes away) and Crystal Mountain resort (less than 5 minutes away). Plenty of room and beds for 8 guys. Two kitchens were very handy for our group in addition to the charcoal and propane grills outside. The fire pit/fire ring is also a nice touch. Most of our time at the house was spent outside sitting around the fire. Communication with Ed & Julie was quick & easy. They are some of the best VRBO homeowners my group has come across. If we come back to this area again, we'll definitely stay here!!

What an amazing place to stay!

My elderly parents live in the area. Every summer we come up to this area to camp...usually about 35 of us. Many of us are no longer interested in camping...old bones... ;) So I was delighted when I found this lodge online. I booked it almost a year in advance. Twenty of us stayed there...but during meal times there were more of us. There was plenty of space both inside and outside to accommodate the entire crew during this time. Each side of the lodge is the same...so the noisy ones sat on one side and the quiet ones sat on the other. It was a great place!!!

Great location

This property was awesome, we rented both sides. The beds and bedrooms were just as described, kitchens were well stocked and appliances were very nice. It has a very large parking lot, we had 5 trucks there and had plenty more room to spare. The owner also had dry firewood and a nice fire pit that came in handy one night. Overall, I highly recommend this house.
