    Location was amazing and made special with all the snow. Kids loved having a TV in each room. Having a spa in the snow was a unique experience! The hosts were very friendly and accommodating.

The property consists of a well positioned kitchen and large living area to relax, enjoy and take in all the property has to offer, including a large outdoor patio and grassed area. The expansive outdoor area lends its self to admiring the famous Mackenzie skies, even more special when soaking in the Spa Pool (Jacuzzi). Bed time is also special with luxury linen and accessories.
