My family of five had a great weekend of skiing. The location of the house is beautiful, and we loved the short walk to and from the slopes. The hot tub is the perfect place to enjoy the gorgeous sunsets, and the kitchen is well stocked for cooking. We only needed to use the bedrooms in the main part of the house, but a larger group (especially one with kids) would really like the extra bunk room. Overall a very comfortable and clean property. Communication with the very pleasant owner was easy. We highly recommend.

We enjoyed our stay in Bedford, PA, and the cabin itself was spacious and comfortable. The layout provided plenty of room for our group to spread out, relax, and enjoy time together, which was a big plus. The common areas were especially nice for gathering.That said, for a cabin of this size, the number and/or layout of bathrooms was limited. With a larger group, this created some congestion at peak times and is something future renters should be aware of.Overall, it’s a roomy and comfortable cabin in a great location, but additional or better-configured bathroom space would make it much more accommodating for larger groups.

Amazing and beautiful long weekend in the mountains

We had a phenomenal time at Alan’s mountain home. We skied 2 days, we easily walked to the lift and came home for lunch and went back out. It is so nice to not have to get in your car with the gear. The house is huge and had everything we needed. We had 3 families with young children and we all slept well, felt safe and made amazing family memories. The hot tub was such an amazing experience after a long day of skiing. The kids loved the warm hottub while the snow fell on their heads. We highly recommend!

This was a great property that fit our needs. We loved the house and may have to return under better circumstances instead of a funeral. The host was gracious enough to allow us to have the 2 dogs of which we were very thankful for. Even though there was no air conditioning, there were plenty of fans throughput the house. That deck was also very pleasant to sit on with those great tall trees for shade

Great place near ski slope, quite neighborhood

Alan has a nice place with lot of space and adequate sleeping furniture. There is a good propane fired grill on the deck apart from a fire pit plus some nice views around. You can walk to the ski slope which is about 300 ft away. Verizon signal is on and off and cellular internet is weak. Inhouse wifi internet is good though and makes up for it. The air is super fresh!

I would stay there again

I really enjoyed my stay here at this property. For the price that we pay we got our money's worth. Don't really have any complaints besides the fact that we could not connect to the Wi-Fi. But our phone service was very spotty but it was usable. Had plenty of space. We brought our own sheets and bedding and towels and things of that nature but they were some provided for us that we did not use. The house was very private and spacious. It did not have air condition so if you go when it's very hot it may be a little warm but they did have fans and things of that nature. But it's pretty cool because you're in the middle of the woods. For the price that we paid I would definitely stay here again. Very nice community. House was pretty clean It wasn't five Star hotel clean but we had no complaints we always carry Clorox wipes and things that nature where we go. I would definitely recommend if you're looking for inexpensive place to stay that is very peaceful and private.

Big house in beautiful mountain location with lots of room for family. Two refrigerators, lots of cooking utensils, toilet paper and towels and a hot tub. My bad for not catching that there was no central AC. Although there were several fans, the house was hot! Basement bathroom needs work, toilet wobbled and didnt flush properly. We were really excited about pingpong, but the table was held up with chairs and styrofoam and the garage floor was filthy!! We cleaned it and also filled the propane tank. Overall, no frills but space.

Outdated

The experience was nice & beautiful location. The house has a lot of potential but Very outdated. Stove was broken, dishwasher ran for 3 hours, beds very hard & uncomfortable. And the fact there is no ac I’m so happy we came when we did in the year & not in the middle of summer.
