We had a lovely time at Patricia's place for a long ski weekend with a few couples and kiddos. The living space was perfect for chatting on the couches and eating big breakfasts in the well-equipped kitchen. Being a 5 minute drive from Gunstock was fantastic for getting kids home and comfortable. An icy storm took out power for most of the town during our weekend, so we were a bit chilly from 8a-2p but Patricia was communicative and friendly throughout. Only tricky part about the house was the sloped, icy driveway but you just have to be careful and slow! Great stay!
