Had a great time with the family at Whiskey Pines! Kids enjoyed playing pool and video games. The view is amazing, and the multiple decks really give you the opportunity to enjoy it. The location is perfect. Short drive to the village, but far enough away to be quiet and private.

The cabin was beautiful inside and out, it has a beautiful view, kitchen is well stocked, close to skiing, the village, shops, restaurants and zoo. Everything was very clean, and Melinda was very attentive. The kids loved having the bunk beds and spa in the back as well as making smores on the deck. Decorative details made it feel so cozy and woodsy vibes, Will stay here again!

The cabin is cozy and has lovely views. Our family of 5 really enjoyed our stay here. The host was very helpful and responsive and we had everything we needed. I would note that it was a bit less spacious than I expected. Although it can sleep 8, it would definitely be a squeeze to have more than 6.

The cabin was perfect for our family. we loved that there was hot water with great water pressure. The kitchen was very nicely stocked and the downstairs entertainment room was awesome and kept the kids happy. All areas were clean and comfortable. Melinda was very thorough with clear and easy to follow instructions and always accessible if needed. Our family enjoyed our stay and would recommend this cabin.
