“Let’s start with the pros: it was a beautiful house, loved the decorations, high ceilings, nice kitchen, big rooms, felt very cabiny but also modern. The cons: a lot of small fixes needed. The floor board was coming up and pinched my foot. Couldn’t open one of the kitchen drawers, the sink faucet was broken and moving all around. A large wad of black hair was left on the upstairs shower wall and some used Qtips, we had to dispose of both which was gross. The nightlight was plugged into the basement bathroom fan spot so when we got out of the shower the smoke alarm went off which woke everyone up panicking. The sheets feel plasticy and not soft. But they were nice and clean. The beds were just OK, not great. If someone would go in and just fix all the weird little stuff it would be a 5 Star but to us this was a 4 star.”
“This home is great for a large family very clean neat spacious close to everything along with walking distance.”
“This was a great airbnb! Spacious house with a lot of amenities and in a great location.”
“The stay here was absolutely amazing and spacious. They were attentive and proactive when we needed something. The place was absolutely perfect and enough to enjoy the area. I would definitely recommend coming here and would come back again in the near future!”
“Great place, very spacious - my family loved the place and area!”
“We stayed here for a weekend to celebrate my son’s 6th birthday with a group of friends and kids, about 13 of us total, and it was awesome. The cabin is very spacious. We had plenty of room for everyone and even an extra bedroom to spare. Everything was very clean and well kept. The kids had a blast, and the hot tub was a big highlight. There are grocery stores just a few minutes away, and getting around was easy. Overall, we had a great time and would definitely stay here again. 10/10.”
“We absolutely LOVED our stay. From the rooms, the arcade, the patio area and the kitchen, we’d definitely visit again. Very spacious and perfect for a Family vacation. Thank you for such a memorable stay.”
“Very responsive hosts! Our kids loved the house and had lots of memories built there! Thank you!”
“We had a great time :)”
“A casa é sensacional: ampla, com muitas camas (todas boas), espaço para crianças e jogos, cozinha agradável, tudo em madeira, bem legal. Valeu muita a pena. Recomendamos!”
“The home was more beautiful in person than in pictures. Definitely recommend this home.”
“If you have a big family, this is definitely the place to book! I had a party of 9 from ages 14 - 74 and everyone loved every bit of this cabin! My dad has a hard time walking and there were two rooms (1. two queen beds 2. one bunk bed, but still spacious if you want one person in there only) on the main story where the kitchen and living room are. All had tv's and the downstairs where the arcade area was, it has two bedrooms and normally I would get cold but once you turn on those heater vents (one in each room and bathroom) trust me it gets sooo warm you will have no problem at all. If you want fresh air, plenty of windows! Upstairs was the teenager's area lounge, so cool. The kitchen had everything I needed.Bring your own coffee pods and salt/pepper (I prefer it that way), it just had such a great vibe and there were PLENTY of blankets, pillows added in their appropriate closets. The spa heated up so quick!! literally within minutes! It's top notch spa, not like those older ones.”
“This is the perfect place for a family gathering! Everything was easy to find and the game room was perfect! I would definitely recommend to anyone interested in a family vacation getaway!”
“The family and I loved the home, kids were super happy about their room, Definitely a cabin yet modern retreat loved everything about it.”
“I highly recommend Agustin’s beautiful cabin. Perfect for our big family. Lots of space and the arcade was a hit with the kids. Also they loved having a room full of bunk beds to sleep together in. Kitchen was fully equipped. Location was great. We were down the street from the snow tubing which was super convenient. All in all it was well worth it and would def visit again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“We had such an enjoyable stay. The home was the perfect size- our kids enjoyed the game room. The space felt cozy. Great location- close to many things. Highly recommended for family get away.”
“It was a wonderful stay. The kids enjoyed the game room. It is close to the village ans stores. It was very cleaned. We really enjoyed our stay. The only thing that it is missing is a washer other than that we enjoyed our stay.”
“My family had a great time staying at 5 bears. It was 12 of us plus 2 infants, 14 total and we all had space to spare, there was several beds not even used. I definitely recommend it.”
“We had a wonderful stay over Thanksgiving. We had 12 people in the house & had plenty of room for all of us. Loved the island in the kitchen where we gathered most evenings. Extremely clean and lots of space for everyone. All the family loved the arcade and jacuzzi. Management co. was very helpful and responsive.”
