Property handled our maximum capacity group very well. Views were lovely and uninterrupted off the deck. The furnishings were very nice and the floor plan of the home worked well for a large crowd.

Perfect location to ski and hike!

The property is very close to Terry's Peak. The house matched the description and met our needs. It's surrounded by trees and a beautiful property. The owners left us a coupon for a local burger place which was so good! We spent most of our time skiing and exploring the area. It was nice to come back to a cozy place and relax after a full day!

Amazing house! Comfortable beds! Wonderful layout, extremely clean, high end furnishings. Minor suggestions.. since you want guest to take out trash, start laundry of towels, and start dishwasher….notification prior to arriving that, only a small amount of trash bags, dishwasher soap, and laundry are provided.

Perfect Cabin

The Cliffhanger is a well-laid-out cabin that is beautifully appointed and decorated and fit our two families with children perfectly. Each room having an ensuite bath was wonderful, the common spaces encouraged time together, and the location was perfect for our activities. We loved the western-facing, unobstructed sunset view from the hot tub after a long day. The kitchen had everything we needed. It was also wonderful to have two sets of laundry to wash clothes and gear as needed. Overall a wonderful stay and we will be returning to this cabin again!
