We had a great time staying at Driftwood Shores. There was plenty of room for all three families and dogs. Owners were so responsive to any questions we had. There is so much to do; the weekend flew by so quickly. We had a wonderful time!

We had a great time at this beautiful home. It was spacious and had comfortable furniture and nice bathrooms. Everything felt very new. There was plenty of space for 10 of us (2 adults, 8 kids). The kids enjoyed the games in the garage and playing with the toys we brought in the bunk room. We also enjoyed the private beach access, though by the end of August the beach was really far away from the water! (Bring a 4wd if you want to get anywhere close to the water.) It is super close to the two places that rent jet skis and boats. The owner was kind and responsive when we had questions.
Two things to be aware of: there is no cell reception there (they tell you that, just use wifi calling), and the AC listed was actually two window units and two standing units. One master bedroom had nothing but a fan. In 95 degree weather, like when we arrived, this made it most unpleasant and hard to sleep. Thankfully the weather cooled off and it wasn't so bad the rest of the nights.
Overall, we would stay here again.

Two families enjoyed 4 nights hanging out playing pool, playing foosball and board games. The house was clean with plenty of room for 8. A short walk down the street and we could enjoy the lake. We rented kayaks up the street at The Last Resort and they delivered them to the water for us, and picked them back up. We really enjoyed ourselves.

Our group of seven, five adults and two kids had a fantastic three night stay. Property was clean and spacious. Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. Beds were comfortable, bedrooms roomy, everyone had their own spaces. Bonus pool table room was a hit. Great property, listing was represented well, everything was as described and pictured.

Great location! We came up for a snowmobile work retreat and had a wonderful time. The house was the perfect size and had all the amenities, a large kitchen and living room for socializing. Close to the Last Resort for snowmobile info, fuel, etc. The Roadhouse was also a good local bar/restaurant and we got to watch the Super Bowl there.

We had such a wonderful time at this property. We rent a lot of VRBO’s in this area and this was one of the best! Beautiful set up and very accommodating to everyone. Super clean and comfortable. We would love to come back and stay here.

Loved staying there. The family had a great time with plenty of space for everyone to stretch out and relax after a fun day in the snow. Bear cave with pool, foosball, and ping-pong tables was a great addition. House was comfortable, well appointed and had everything we needed. Look forward to staying there again!
10.0 / 10.0
Had a great time with our group. Massive kitchen. Great game room. Location perfect for going on a hike. Sleeping 10 adults would be hard here though - someone will end up on a couch. Property also lacks a grill which would improve things as well. Still 5*, would book again.

Perfect spot for family reunion
Excellent condition- spotless with a great kitchen to gather around. Plenty of outdoor seating with t tables and chairs.
We plan to stay again in the future!

Most amazing weekend getaway!
This place was HUGE! There was so much space everywhere and it was the absolute perfect home to getaway from the city. The game room was definitely our party's favorite room, I think we definitely spent the majority of our time there. There was so much to do in that one room! This place was also in the perfect location, just far enough from the towns, but still close where we could get our groceries at the local Safeway! Additionally, the hosts were super responsive to any of our questions which definitely helped in having such a smooth, problem-free, fun stay!

Beautiful home, near snowmobile rental, quiet, peaceful, and a fun place for a family gathering!
The whole experience gave us such wonderful family memories we’ll cherish for a lifetime. Thank you,
Vince and Arlene Blauser
See you next year!

Winter Paradise
Absolute winter wonderland! From the moment we drove up to the house we didn’t want to leave. Breathtaking wilderness, trails, few minutes to the lake, this offered everything we wanted in a weekend getaway from the city. Snowmobile rentals across the street made for a remarkable experience. We were minutes from snow shoeing trails. The house itself did not disappoint at all. Perfect play room for games and fun. Then when we wanted to unwind after dinner sitting around the fire was a perfect night cap. Hosts made everything super easy with check in and check out. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to getaway.

Beautiful Home
Driftwood Shores Bliss was more beautiful in person than it even appears in the listing. It had plenty of space for two families with a total of 5 kids and 4 adults. We enjoyed the game room and the layout of the house.
The area was convenient for sledding and we were able to enjoy lots of snow. I'm sure it there would be a lot of fun summer activities as well.
The only small issue we had was that the kitchen could use a few more cooking and eating utensils, but we almost wondered if someone had taken or misplaced a few things. Tuyen was always very quick to respond to any questions or concerns.
We would definitely recommend this property.

Great house for family vacation!
Great location and beautifully built clean house. The hosts were great with communication and information for us! We loved having the snowmobile rentals within walking distance. Spacious fenced backyard was great for our family. We got early season snow and it was awesome for the kids. All 3 generations fully enjoyed our time here. We will definitely be back to enjoy the lake too this Summer!

Great getaway from the city!
Loved staying here over the weekend! The neighborhood is quiet and the house itself was very clean. The owner did a great job of communicating with us prior to the trip and was available if we needed anything during our stay.
The Garage was a nice addition with the turf floors and games that we could mess around with. Backyard was also a plus and was nice that we have access to the lake (just a 2 mins drive, maybe 10-15 minute walk).
Definitely would stay here again!

Fantastic family vacation!
Driftwood Shores Bliss is easily 1 of our best family vacations! The home is absolutely beautiful! And so well stocked with all amenities and new appliances.
The main reason we stayed here is how close the home is to Suncadia and their attractions. We golfed at the beautiful golf resorts less than 10 minutes away. My wife and sisters got to enjoy Swiftwater winery regularly in our 3 days here.
The kids also loved the game room and the bunkrooms. We liked being able to keep an eye on them just outside our master bedroom which had a generous king bed. There’s even a 2nd master bedroom (the hosts call this room "Spruce bedroom") that also had a king sized bed for our parents on the mainfloor so they did not have to use the stairs. Each bedroom had it’s own bathroom and shower so our family of 8 never had to worry about sharing.
It was extra special for our family to be able to stroll the private beach the community offered just a quick walk away. The kids really had a blast! We visited the Cascades as well and it was just breathtaking how beautiful it is here.
It did rain 1 day but we had so much fun playing foosball, pool, and mini golf in the game room that no time was wasted! We also did a movie marathon on netflix on their curved flat screen TVs!
Also add
The hosts are super great. They were very nice and quick to answer us with our questions leading up to and during our stay.
We are excited to come back when the snow starts coming in! The snowmobile rental is a quick 5 minutes drive away and driving out to the slopes won't take much time. We will definitely be back!!!
