Sundance Cottage Very Cozy

This is a very well thought out and managed property. It has room for 6-8 people, including the additional bedroom in the smaller building. Everything was convenient at the property and along rt. 26. And, individual room and pellet stove heating were excellent. The only drawbacks were one bathroom and the closeness to rt. 26. For my stay, though, neither was a problem. I would recommend this property highly,

Cozy, quiet and relaxing

Very comfortable cabin with space to spread out and enjoy the forest. The cabin was well appointed, clean and well maintained. The pellet stove was a welcome feature for warmth and atmosphere. Excellent communication from the host.

College Tour/Ski trip

We arrived about an hour after check in time. We had already been contacted by the property managers welcoming us and letting us know it was warming up and ready for our arrival. It was exactly as the pics showed and the description of the property was spot on!! But the Mischievous Pellet Stove which had just gotten installed professionally was not wanting to cooperate. The property managers came from wherever and worked their magic and had it warm and running before we got back from night skiing. It stayed a consistent warmth and never did act up again during our entire stay!! Comfy beds throughout the house! Lots of hot water!! Great kitchen and well stocked. Plenty of room too spread out and with some great family games. Very convenient to a variety of ski resorts and some great night time cosmic sledding!!! We will most definitely be staying here at Sundance again!!

Great Get-Away!

This was a magical stay for us. We have not 'gotten away' for almost 3 years and this was the perfect experience. We wanted seclusion and be close enough to go out if we wanted to. The cottage was immaculate. It has a unique architecture which was fun. There was way more of everything provided than we expected. We did not use the TV, instead took walks and enjoyed the water. Selena is kind and very available to anything questions we had.. Great Cottage Great Location Great Adventure Great Fun Thank You!
