Dawn’s place was perfect for our large family for a long weekend. We skiied at nearby Sunday River and Mt Abram and we relaxed in the swimspa and sauna afterwards. Our whole group had a great time, even those that didn’t ski! There are plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms to spread out into and the gathering spaces held everyone very comfortably. It was very modern and clean and we can’t wait to go back again next year! Thank you Dawn for a wonderful stay!

I had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb! The space was clean, cozy, and well-equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The host, Dawn, was incredibly communicative and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. Although the hot tub wasn’t working during our stay, Dawn made sure to keep us updated and even offered alternative ways to unwind. Her thoughtful touches and willingness to make our experience as enjoyable as possible really made the stay feel perfect despite the small hiccup. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a peaceful retreat with a host who truly cares about making your stay memorable!
