Review Submitted: July 31, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
because that's about all that's lacking here! If this were my second home I don't know if I'd be able to allow strangers to use it. It is beautiful, comfortable, well decorated, tasteful, spacious - there aren't enough words to describe it. I would absolutely recommend it to any of my friends! Thank you for a marvelous "get-away"!

Review Submitted: February 12, 2008 Date of Stay: February 2008
We stayed at the Snowdance home at the end of January with our family, my sister's family and five kids all under the age of 5. We had a WONDERFUL time!!!

Your home is so comfortable and spacious! We could all spread out and cooking in your beautifully appointed kitchen was a dream. With two families, we loved that there were two master bedrooms, and there was plenty of room for the kids and Grandma too.

It was a winter wonderland of snow the weekend we visited. Since the house is perfectly situated at the end of a cul-de-sac, we actually took the kids sledding right down the driveway. It was like our own little private snow park! The kids had a blast!

I highly recommend your home, and we can't wait to visit in the summer too. :-)
Owner's Response: We are delighted to hear the extent to which you and your family enjoyed our home and the surroundings. We welcome you back in the summer.

With warmest best regards,

Doug & Fran Nord

We stayed at Snowdance for New Year's and we had an amazing time. My boyfriend and I and a few friends had one of the best trips that I could've ever planned. It was very memorable and your house is soooo beautiful. The pictures on your website really don't do your house any justice. I would love to stay here again.
Owner's Response: Michelle,

Thank you so much for your wonderful comment! You could not have given us a better or more appreciated compliment. We are glad you, your boyfriend and friends were able to thoroughly enjoy yourselves. Please come again!!

Review Submitted: August 16, 2006 Date of Stay: August 2006
We had a wonderful stay at Snowdance! A truly comfortable home, though we lived on that spectacular deck! We were blessed with a wonderful Thunderstorm to be followed by an amazing sunset and then two days of glorious sunshine. Views to die for and walking distance to the lake. A perfect location and so peaceful and quiet. We will be back!
Owner's Response: We are so happy you had a wonderful stay. The weather can be changeable and beautiful. I particularly love the nights when one feels they can almost touch the Milky Way.

Please come again, relax and enjoy the peace and quiet and sounds of nature.
