Our family was at this property this past weekend with 8 adults, 6 children and 3 infants. We found this home a great place for our family. It was just as described in the VRBO description. Everyone had a great time. The house was large enough for us - with 2 extra mattresses put out and prepared so we could move them to suit the needs of small children. The living room was ample for adults and children to relax between the many fun times we were all having. The location is super and we were able to walk to most of our destinations - we never even moved our car for the whole weekend. We found everything we needed in the kitchen and all sheets and towels were placed in appropriate rooms. With Skytop privileges we were able to swim, ski, sled, ice skate and hike. We attended a super presentation by the naturalist with lots of hands on time with the live reptiles. We took an UTV ride to the top of Skytop mountain and Indian Ladder Falls and past the homes of the sled dogs who were all sitting on top of their kennels watching us. Our driver turned out to be our babysitter on Saturday night and she (Cheryl) was wonderful at both the tour and the care of one of our grandchildren. We enjoyed 2 great dinners and one breakfast at the lodge. We took part in the barbeque at the bottom of the ski hill on Sat. Skiing opened on Sat and Sunday for the first time this year. Our grandchildren enjoyed the Sat. night children's party and then joined us for the Grand March. We had a SUPER vacation and this property was certainly a highlight as a place for us all to congregate. The only reason I don't rate it a 5 star is that the bathrooms could use some work (caulking, etc.), the water cooled off rapidly for showers, and the rug upstairs hallway is badly spotted. The owner was quite responsive to my many questions and even offered an early check-in and late checkout since they had no conflicting reservations. We will certainly return to this property and recommend it to our friends.

Great for Big Families! We had a great time staying at this cottage. It had plenty of room for our extended family, with many adults and kids. Great fireplace to warm up and relax (remember to bring your own wood though). It was so easy to walk to the lodge to enjoy afternoon cider and cookies, mini-golf for the kids and the pub for the adults! We enjoyed skeet shooting, hikes to the water falls, skiing and dog sledding (behind a golf cart though b/c of no snow!). There was plenty planned to keep everyone occupied. The owners were also very accommodating and great to deal with.

Dads and Daughters We headed up to Skytop for a YMCA trip with our daughters. What a great place and fantastic setting! The house has a ton of charm and took us back to simpler times. The accomodations were rustic compared to life in the city, but that was exactly what we wanted. There was plenty of room for 12 people to spread out and play games i the dining room or in front of the fantastic fireplace. As far as Skytop, I don;t think we could have jammed any more activities into a single weekend if we tried. Skiing, Dogsledding, Swimming, Laser Tag, Dancing,Sledding, and more. If you're looking for a vacation that reminds you of simpler, slower days, then this is the place for you.

We had a great time staying at this house during the holidays. It was exactly as described and as depicted in the photographs that we were sent. The house was clean, well maintained and the owner was helpful in answering our questions, especially about nearby attractions. We participated in so many activities when we stayed here... dinner at the lodge, swimming, hiking, laser tag, and many of the activities at the lodge. Would definitely stay here again.
