I loved having a kitchenette! This location was convenient for my snowshoe adventures as well. The Maasto Hiihto and Chassel trail systems are an easy drive from here and both excellent venues.

Didnt know there was no maid service. The key from the app didnt work-had to wait for an employee to let us in. The tub is incredibly slippery!! This needs to be addressed. No coffee or water in the lobby. Clean rooms, but overall not impressed
