This home was more than expected. We had so much room inside and outside. Amenities were awesome. Hosts were great. We are already thinking of booking it again for our September trip.

Really neat place that offered plenty of space for our big group. There was plenty of space to be together, and had extras like games and some toys for the pool and kids. we would definitely consider staying there again if we are going to that area.

This was such a great air bnb! Especially for large families. The kids had an absolute blast. The pool area is so well heated. Absolutely will book again. There was so much stuff. You could pack clothes and food and be set for the whole weekend.

Stayed for our annual Thanksgiving-Christmas weekend. Brother, kids, spouses, and 6 grandkids and everyone had a great time. Tons of room. Amazing pool area. Lots of games. It was so fun to sit in the hot tub and play in the pool with everyone as it snowed outside. Host was great and accommodating. Place was clean. Plenty of parking. Tons of space all on 1 floor. The kids had so much room to run AND the host was thoughtful enough to include toddler safety in the space. Covers on outlets and security on the pool door! It was a great place to celebrate the holidays.

Absolutely love the setup of this air bnb. So much room and always something to do. We will be planning our future trips to the Thompson Center very soon and would recommend this for group trips. Pool was warm, hot tub was hot and the pool area is ideal for swimming.
