Gondola House | Hot tub, Arcade, Walkable Getaway

Vistage

We had a great time at the house. We loved the game room and the juke box. There was plenty of space for everyone with 2 family rooms. The house was clean and beds were comfortable. The kitchen and hot tube were nice. It was a great place to stay for a long week-end. Thank you!

Great Family Space for a group of 12

We had an absolutely wonderful stay over Christmas break for our ski vacation! We traveled with two families (8 people total) with kids of various ages, and the house was laid out perfectly for our group. Everyone had space to relax, and it never felt crowded.

The kids were obsessed with the pinball machine and the jukebox — they provided hours of entertainment and were such a fun touch. After long days on the slopes, the hot tub was a huge hit for both kids and adults and the perfect way to unwind.

The interior of the house was adorable — cozy, thoughtfully decorated, and truly felt like a home away from home. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook meals, which made our stay even more convenient.

The location couldn’t have been better: close to the slopes and near great restaurants, making it easy to get around without hassle. On top of it all, the weather conditions were amazing — we couldn’t have asked for a better ski trip.

The host was extremely communicative throughout our stay, which made everything seamless and stress-free. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this home to families or groups looking for a comfortable, fun, and well-located place for a ski getaway!

Great Stay at Gondola House

The house was amazing. It fit so many couples and we were able to walk to talk. We loved the garage with all the games, we spent majority of our time in there. We definitely will look into booking it again next fall fest!

Fall Fest

We had 6 guys stay at the house for a weekend of golf at Holiday Valley. Loved the house and we actually rented the one down the street for the other half of our group. Michelle is a great host with awesome homes and communication. We will certainly stay here again! Steve Hughes
