Our friend group loved this house. It was the perfect size, space for everyone, and in a great location! We loved the hot tub, the pool table, and the games.

Loved this place! Plenty of room for my toddler to run around inside and out. My family enjoyed our extended weekend here and if we come back to Wisp in the future will rent here again.

We had an amazing time at this cabin! It was exactly as described—cozy, clean, and well-equipped, making it the perfect setting for an intimate getaway with close friends. The location was fantastic, with plenty of restaurants and grocery stores nearby, which made it super convenient for everything we needed. The cabin was peaceful and private, allowing us to fully relax and enjoy each other’s company. All in all, it was definitely worth it, and we’d love to return in the future!

stayed at Bright Passage House
We booked this house for a weekend ski getaway and it was great. The ski resort is right down the road and the grocery store was walkable if you chose. The house was clean and spacious enough for my family trip. We would stay there again.
stayed at A Wispful Dream
This place was absolutely beautiful and huge. For the price we paid, we were more than satisfied. If you are looking for a wonderful spot right next to the ski lift (Chair 4), you have found it.
stayed at Top of the Slopes
Location was great (right across the street from Wisp) and the house was big enough for the 5 of us to not be on top of each other. We were very happy with this last-minute weekend getaway.
stayed at Wisp Retreat
