Stunning view with great living areas

We had an excellent time at the Valley View Lodge. We've had the pleasure of renting many mountain homes, but the view from this one could not be beat! We enjoyed watching the sunset every evening while eating dinner indoors, and then we'd bundle up and marvel at the incredible view of the stars from the upper deck. Our kids loved having the game systems on which to play, and the adults in our group loved having multiple living areas so we could visit while the kids played.
The homeowners are super sweet and made our stay extremely pleasant. We truly appreciate that the condo had everything we needed. I loved that I did not need to bring a crock pot or pack-n-play.
Our favorite part of this location was the proximity to the slopes (or in our case, the mountain biking trails). With many smaller kids in our group, it could have been difficult for any of our adults to ride. With this fantastic location, we were able to take turns on the trails. One couple would stay and babysit, while the other would ride the trails to the base, ride the lift up, and return to the house. We are hooked on Down Hill Mountain Biking and can not wait to take another trip. Both my husband and I were sad for many days after coming back to reality because we wanted to be back at this home in the mountains.
Our kids loved playing in the woods near the beautiful fire-pit. While the adults lounged in the adirondack chairs, the kids would hike around us playing sweet imaginary games. They especially loved all of the wildlife that surrounded this home... the chipmunks were too many to count, and we saw elk nearly every day.
Thanks so much to the Dunn Family for sharing their home!
