All rooms have ensuites and a private family bath on the first floor. We also have a Bar & restaurant, Rental delivery and Ski and Snowboard school.
  
  During the winter season we host a variety of guests from couples, families and large groups. It's a very cozy and friendly environment with a lot of like-minded guests all here for the same reason, The powder snow!
