Such a pleasant stay

If you're wanting something close to Crystal Mountain, but not stuck in the middle of the crowd... this is it! A hot tub, plenty of beds, a wood-burning stove to dry out gloves and ski boots after a day on the hills are all perfect ways to relax. This is our third consecutive year booking at this property for a reason.
