We rented this cabin at the last moment to go skiing at Snowshoe. We liked that the home was roomy and that it had 3 bathrooms. Using different apps to get directions in that area can be a little challenging especially when you are driving a minivan and it sends you on dirt roads (Waze worked best). Yes we did get stuck but that was one part the kids loved the most. Another reason we chose to rent this place was to get to experience some snow and boy did we. What normally took us an hour and a half it ended up being almost 6 hours to get back (had chains on). It snowed about a foot in less than 24 hrs.

When we first arrived at the home we could tell that it hadn't been swept for a while because there were dead ladybugs everywhere on the floor, countertops and beds. These things kept coming out the whole week we were there but thankfully they were not in the kitchen cabinets which by the way were fully stocked. We liked having the 3 bathrooms but the instant hot water heater is not big enough to handle more than one shower running at a time. We loved the big windows overlooking the river (and all the relative's home across the river) but did not like that there were no blinds to close once it got dark outside around 5 pm. Again, these were some drawbacks but they were not that major. The one thing that I didn't appreciate was that the wifi is restricted to 250MB per day and it's only listed as a small print on a separate paper I received from the owner after I paid and if you go over that limit there is a $10 fee for an extra 250MB. This ended up being a big thing for me because I convinced my wife, which is working on finishing her PhD, to join us at the last moment because the description for this place listed that it had internet and she could do her research and write her dissertation while we were out skiing. She normally goes through gigs per day, so 250MBs didn't cut it. So my next option for her was to make my cell into a hotspot but that didn't work because there is hardly any cell service in a 15miles radius even though the description for this home lists that all cell carriers work in the area especially on the back porch. We found that only AT&T has a week signal there and calls keep dropping due to poor service. This place is great to disconnect from technology and I'm ok with that. I just don't appreciate reading one thing in the description and find out it's not the case. Overall we had a blast on the mountain skiing.
