5/5 - Excellent

The place needed a deep cleaning. There was dead insects, hair in drawer with drinkware, bath floir looked unswept or cleaned, hair on floor. Walking barefoot left soles of feet dirty. We mopped ourselves. Washed dishes before using. Found somewhere else to stay after first night.

Nice quiet ski village. Easy to drive or walk around. Had some cafes and restaurants open and even a mini-Golf course.
Crossing is why you go...couple of reasonable restaurants etc. but pretty isolated otherwise. No real grocery store.
Nice Cafe but not much going on.
Ski-biz shop/rental excellent service for skiing and walking boots
Quaint place to stay, handy to lots of outdoor things to do. Would highly recommend a visit
