A road covered in snow

"Beautiful winter views and relaxing environment! The hot tub was very clean and had great views of the frozen lake!... We even had the opportunity to try our hand at ice fishing, which was a nice surprise!"

A family snowshoeing in the snow

"The hot tub is spectacular; there is a grand stone fireplace inside and large fire pit outside. The owner considered everything... It's a magical spot."
