Only 100 m from the ski lifts. 10 big comfortable rooms, very nice western style lounge and eating area, plenty of storage for skis and boots. Owners bake excellent bread and serve tasty and healthy breakfast, lunch and snacks for happy hour. They... More

We loved this place. The beds were so soft and comfortable. The owner was very friendly and went out of his way to make our stay more enjoyable. The breakfast was perfect and the lunch so much better than the over-priced ski field cafe food. It was a short stroll to the lifts and only 100 meteres from a good... More

We have thought long and hard about how to write this review of our September 2012 visit, having stayed in many places in North America, Europe and Asia, including many B&B’s, at many price levels. We have met many fine people... More

We stayed with Lori and Ken for a week and very much enjoyed their first rate hospitality. Nothing was too much trouble and they were consistently friendly and helpful throughout our visit. Through Ken and Lori we felt we actually really got to know the area in a way not normally possible with just a week's stay. The accommodation was... More
