Jonathan Turner
We enjoyed our stay at Max's House. The house was warm and well-equipped. Beautiful location. The drying room is great after a day on the ski fields. The owners were easy to deal with. Thanks!
Tom Gilbert
Great house for two families. Not modern but definitely not old either. Very comfortable. We would hire again.
