“Unique stay in repurposed building with great traditional breakfast”
+Excellent family who manages the place, super friendly and helpful! Breakfast was delicious and great value. The building was cool and the dorm room was spacious and comfortable. They were well outfitted to dry and store ski gear. Great location by a bus stop.
−The common areas were (understandably) a bit chilly although the room was perfectly comfortable.
