Summary: Great place to stay with the family if you are venturing into the mountains whether summer or winter. We went for the skiing and loved the warm house. Great insulation, wood heater and even towel warmers. Plus a couple of sun lounges behind bay windows. Comfy beds. And table tennis in the garage. Fabulous. We’d do it again.

Summary: Property was a fantastic place for us to setup base for a week of training and site seeing. The property had all the amenities needed for our stay and was clean and tidy. Hill did a fantastic job of preparing the home and ensuring we had everything needed for a comfortable stay.

Summary: The house has a good collection of cooking bits and pieces. The village is in a calm environment with not many activities. But it has a great view to amuse yourself with. When we booked, I didn't recall seeing all of the clean up requirements, were not what we expected. But this could be bookabach vs Airb. It was a little stressful to ensure we meet the requirements in time for check out.

Summary: We had a really enjoyable and comfortable stay at Jill's home. Everything was clean, beds were comfy, house was always warm and such a special little spot. The house had everything we needed and it was a great base for our trip. Jill is an excellent host. Communication was exceptional from the start, with very clear instructions for everything. We hope to be able to go back and stay there again soon.
