Everything at the beautiful Ski Castle was just perfect! From the moment we booked, Diana was highly communicative to ensure we were prepared for our stay and had all necessary details, including extra details about things going on in the area. The home includes so many nice “extras” being stocked with things like shower steamers and a welcome bottle of wine and s’mores kit for us to enjoy! Our boys loved catching frogs in the pond on the property, and me and my husband loved the hot tub and sauna. Everything was fantastic and we can’t wait to go back!

Perfect Getaway

Ice Castle was the perfect home conveniently located very close to the mountain. The home was beautiful and had all the amenities you could ever need. The outdoor sauna was a luxury and a special treat. Diane, the host, was amazing! She was incredibly helpful and always available to answer any questions and offer advice. Looking forward to our next visit!

Great ski weekend at the Ski Castle

The Host exceeded all expectations for our stay. We were greeted at her lovely home with hand/toe warmers and smores makings! She even delivered a beautiful (and yummy) charcuterie box for us the second day. She communicated with us everyday to make sure everything was perfect. She had great suggestions for where to park at Sunday River and made sure we knew when the plow truck was coming so it didn’t interfere with our plans. We will definitely come back next year for more ski fun!!!
