Very family friendly unit that we booked. A well fenced front area that allowed sliding doors to be opened while kids could freely go in and out of unit without fear of them being in harms way of cars entering and leaving the parking area. The unit was clean, modern and had all the comforts of home with a great view.

The cottage was very big and the backyard space was huge, amazing moutain views. Jane was very helpful.There was also a really cute room at the top which had enough space for a family of 4 and there were stunning views from the windows.The trampoline was the most fun my kids ever had on a trampoline. Breakfast was provided in the cottage.
