5 out of 5 average rating, 9 reviews3 weeks ago

I had a wonderful time forgetting my daily routine and relaxing. This time it's a trip for two couples.The purpose was to take a break from my usual life and work and relax.Before you leave, can you switch your mood properly?I was a little worried, but the moment I arrived at this inn and entered, my worries disappeared. The accommodation was very clean and spacious, and I felt the comforting warmth of wood.It was a soothing space where the word "tadaima" (I'm back) came out naturally when I came back from going out. I didn't have much of a sightseeing plan, but thanks to the information provided by the host, Erize, and the guidebook in the accommodation, I was able to go to a nearby hot spring, jog along Lake Toyako, and enjoy the beautiful view from the summit of Mt. Arashiro. Thanks to Elise and this wonderful place, I had a really relaxing time.Thank you very much.

The perfect winter cabin getaway for a group ski trip. The cabin was beautiful and looked exactly like the photos. Not too far to drive to the ski hill but also far enough removed from the busy resort. We loved the onsen and restaurant recommendations that we got. Would come back here in a heartbeat!

This is a great ski house if you are looking for an alternative to staying at Rusutsu Resort, the Westin or the Vale. You do have to walk a little bit, but it is quite manageable. We were offered a ride with our luggage to the resort, which was **extremely helpful**. I would highly recommend Leann's place as a base camp for skiing and riding at Rusutsu
