Dusan P –
Sapphire Cottage was a great mix of comfort and convenience. Tucked away in a quiet spot but still close enough to everything, it had the kind of layout that works whether you want to entertain or just relax. The bedrooms were comfortable, the living area had a great feel to it, and the whole place was well thought out. Waking up to views of the snow-covered trees each morning made it hard to leave. Definitely a place worth coming back to.

The layout worked perfectly for our family. The open living space made it easy to spend time together, and the kids loved having room to play both inside and outside in the snow. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals, which was great on nights when we didn’t feel like going out. Getting to the ski lifts was simple, and coming back to a warm, cosy space after a long day on the slopes made the whole trip feel effortless. Everything was well set up, and it felt like a home away from home.
