Summary: We stayed here with my extended family of 6 adults one baby in the later winter. Proximity to Giants Ridge and Snowmobile trails was excellent, the layout of the home was perfect for a group our size, but their isn't good climate control for a winter stay. Heated floors weren’t working, and there was no central air. Fire place added some warmth and ambiance but didn’t heat the home. I bet this place is lovely in the summer and fall, but didn’t meet the needs of.a winter stay. Our host was communicative and we got a discount off our stay, which was appreciated. Best part, huge windows overlooking the lake and a sauna.
