Dawn’s home was the perfect place to relax and spend time with our family and friends! Clean, well stocked, and amazing basement filled with games and arcade games that our kids loved. The sauna and swim spa were a huge hit as well. Highly recommend!

The home was even lovelier than advertised. Perfect for our family of 12 to comfortably celebrate the holidays together, get some skiing in and enjoy family meals. Dawn was super responsive and extremely accommodating. We were very grateful for the extra she offered. Also appreciated that the home had all the necessities for our stay, from coffee, paper towels and garbage bags to bath towels and blankets, all the little things added up and made our stay seamless and relaxing. Thank you, 2025 was a Christmas to remember!

We had a wonderful stay! Dawn was an incredibly responsive and helpful host from start to finish. Communication was seamless, and she made the entire check-in process very easy. The house was beautiful, clean, and exactly as described. We also loved the detailed online guidebook—it was such a thoughtful touch and included great local recommendations that really enhanced our trip. Highly recommend this stay and would absolutely book again!

The Element Chalet was the perfect getaway for a relaxing weekend in the mountains. The place was pristine and exactly as shown. Dawn was so helpful, flexible, and quickly responsive the entire time. We really loved the Swimspa and arcade machines. Also the easiest check in and out process I’ve ever had with an Airbnb. We are already planning our next trip back!

Our group had the best time at this cabin. The firepit was perfect for cozy nights roasting marshmallows, and the inside was clean, spacious, and super comfortable. The kitchen and dining area made hosting our big dinner so easy — we had plenty of room for all the food and laughs. The vibe of the whole place made it easy to relax and enjoy each other’s company, and we left with so many great memories. Highly recommend for a fun, cozy group trip. We’d definitely come back! 🌲🔥

This was hands down our best Airbnb experience. Dawn was so wonderful, responded so quickly, proactively communicated and the attention to detail in the house was just above and beyond. Plenty of supplies for a large group, extremely comfortable beds and it was just a wonderful experience. Couldn’t recommend Dawn and this home.

I had a great stay! The place was clean, cozy, and exactly as described. Dawn was such a friendly and responsive host, which made everything super easy. Movie night was a blast with all the games available, and cooking dinner was a must in this beautiful kitchen. The heated jacuzzi was the cherry on top of our short getaway. I can’t wait to come back and hopefully stay longer next time!
