4.97 out of 5 average rating, 74 reviewsCottageintheClouds-InVillage 3BR 2BA, King bed
We came for a weekend skiing at Hunter and Donna's place was perfect... Location in the town of Tannersville was great, we could walk down to the restaurants/shops in town. Less than a 10 minute drive to the slopes at Hunter. Everything in the home was as described and just what we needed - from the kitchen to the bedrooms to the living space. And Donna was super flexible and responsive as we had a few questions leading up to our stay.
