Our three families, including several kids, loved the variety of games available—there was never a dull moment! The location is amazing, with plenty of nearby activities and attractions. We highly recommend Casa Mia for anyone looking for a perfect getaway. Can't wait to come back!"”
From Melanie (Guest at Conway House)
“"We had a family ski trip and stayed at the Conway House. We felt right at home. The site pictures matched the house, plus some. It was super clean with all the amenities you'd need. We had 7 guests all who felt roomy and comfortable. Outdoor grill and fire pit for smores. We plan to stay again for sure. Absolutely no complaints."”

“Dixon Cottage was a wonderful surprise! We didn’t expect to be so charmed and feel so cozy! The beds were incredibly comfortable, the kitchen was fully equipped, and we were able to access our favorite shows on the TV. PLUS the backyard was amazing! Views overlooking a farmer’s field with mountains in the background all the while sitting in Adirondack chairs over a fire pit. Honestly, the home surpassed our expectations and we’re looking forward to enjoying it again!”

Beautiful home, great location, exactly like photos!
The house was very clean and in great condition. It was nice to have access to a grill for cooking and the kitchen was supplied with all the kitchen supplies needed. Hot tub was clean and great to use, you just needed to heat it up overnight when you got there. It was very close to the shops and restaurants on Main St, a 5 min drive. It’s walkable if you needed to walk, but definitely easier to drive. For being in a neighborhood, the property felt private in the back yard. <br/>One of the extra bedrooms off the main entry has glass doors so there is no privacy so be mindful of that if you are using all the bedrooms. <br/>When visiting the area, we would stay here again!
The perfect property for multi-generational families! First floor primary suite was handicap accessible and spacious. Plenty of bedrooms of different configurations to fit your families needs. Bathrooms were stylish and perfectly clean. Kitchen stocked with the essentials! The hot tub was the ideal way to unwind, and it was easy to use and operate. This was one of our best family trips and this space really made it happen for our group!
Great place. Great location. We had a very good stay
Wonderful location, welcoming, clean and comfortable space! Would definitely visit again.
A wonderful place for our Group of friends. Enjoyed the hot tub, great kitchen and fire pit! <br/>A lot to do in the area too!
Our stay was great. We really enjoyed all of the activities the house provided. We had teenagers all the way to senior citizens and we all enjoyed ourselves. The group activities like table tennis and darts were great and the gaming console was entertaining. We loved how well the kitchen was stocked with supplies and the information manual was very helpful. The house was very close to lots of local restaurants and activities. Thank you for providing such a nice space for our family to gather.
Claudia was lovely to work with. The house was great for our group, and close to where we needed to be. The main floor has a bedroom with bathroom which we needed to accommodate an elderly family member. The kitchen was big and bright. Claudia and Lewis were very kind and responsive during our trip when we needed a question answered. Would definitely recommend!
Great cozy stay!
It was a great stay for our annual girls weekend, plenty of room, clean, it’s great spot and loved the outdoor seating and dock. I wish there was more parking but we coordinated carpooling so it worked.
