Wonderful stay, for the second year in a row, with our large family! We come together annually to ski, and this home is an easy commute over to Chestnut! Plenty of private and communal space! Our kids love hiding out in the game room downstairs while the adults enjoyed the fireplace and football games upstairs. Looking forward to many years of visiting this home!
