We loved our stay at Drift-Away. The home was very clean and comfortable. The area is beautiful and quiet, but not secluded as there are neighbors in close proximity. The neighbors were all friendly and respectful. We saw various wildlife every day whether we were walking or driving. Our favorite beach was just 20 minutes away. We just loved the slower pace of life here. We had illness and a death in our family in the middle of our stay so, unfortunately, we had to leave early. Amanda was very gracious and understanding during a difficult time and we were so thankful. We would absolutely love to come back in the future.

We had a fantastic stay! The location was perfect, just minutes from Powderhorn Mountain. The place was clean, well-stocked, and had everything we needed. Amanda was friendly and proactive. Highly recommend!

Host was very communicative, and check in instructions were easy to follow. The place was spotless, well stocked and well designed. We appreciated the nice touches with the k-cups and games to play. We had a great stay, and would book again!

While in Bessemer working for the week I wanted a nice clean place I could stay at and cook my own meals. I’m very particular about where I stay as I like things clean, orderly and kept up maintenance wise. The place looked like the pictures on airbnb and was kept very clean and tidy. Building is a little older and shows its age in some areas but all in all was a good place. Amanda was very proactive and gave a lot of information before checking in. I would recommend to others and stay there again if the need arises in the future.

Wonderfully updated 3 bedroom, 2 full baths condo was perfect for our family of 5 adults, in town for a long ski weekend. Super convenient location - stone's throw to Big Powderhorn Mt. We appreciated the kitchen stocked with coffee, hot cocoa & spices and the (new to us) games to play. We would definitely book here again!

Perfect place to stay for skiing. Walking distance to the main lodge and ticket office for Big Powderhorn. Just a few minute drive to Snow River (Indianhead) if you wanted to ski both places. Quick drive into town for food. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was well-stocked, and there was the right amount of space for 5 people. Would definitely stay there again!

Came up for a snowmobile trip. Beautiful, freshly decorated place. Very responsive to messages. Definitely will be staying here again. Located right around the corner from the Ski Resort and a few minutes away from the snowmobile trails.
