Holiday rentals with breakfast in Shimotakai District

This is a special place in a beautiful setting off the main route. We loved the cozy cabin with a lovely porch. We also loved the neighborhood, very quiet and peaceful. I hope to stay here again someday and highly recommend it to others looking for a relaxing place to stay.

I used it with an elementary school child.We ended up arriving a little early, but you were flexible and courteous.(I apologize suddenly...💦) The bed sheets in the room we stayed in were also very clean, and we had a pleasant stay.The room also had everything we needed, such as a refrigerator, stove, sink, and plates, so we ate the products we bought at the local supermarket indoors.Also, the children were very happy because they could peek into the courtyard where the cats were spending as soon as they left the room. The owner was able to show me recommended spots and nearby super public baths right after booking, and I was able to use it for the first time, but I was able to use it with peace of mind. I will stay again if I have the opportunity.Thank you so much!

Yumi and Brad have turned a tired hotel into a great little place that offers Western style service while maintaining the charm of small mountain village family inn. Room was Japanese style with a big queen size bed. Could easily sleep 5 people making the value very good. Breakfast was simple but filling. Great little bar downstairs with live music 3 nights a week. The best part of Yumi's place is the location. Right smack in the center of town. Not a lot to do, but it's a great place for a few days. Oh. And the skiing is world class! Just a short walk to the people mover and the hill is yours. Hit the hot spring baths around town after a ski and you will know why Japan is so magical! I'll be back!

Clean, pretty room view and a very complete breakfast. All staff is very kind. They drove me to my next hotel for free.

This is the second year in a row that we've stayed with Rika and Greg. We came back because we knew it would be a wonderful weekend. Location is very close to Ishiuchi ski resort and a short drive from Echigo Yazawa station. There's a really nice onsen just down the street from the house. Rika/Greg have great recommendations for delicious restaurants nearby. The house fits two large groups comfortably with a big common area, nice kitchen, drying room, and a bathroom facility that works well for large groups. To me, that's all I can hope for in an Airbnb. What makes this place the best in Japan is Greg and Rika. They make you feel like family. Always good recommendations, always good stories, and always happy to help. Really looking forward to continuing our annual Ishiuchi tradition and see Rika and Greg next year.

We happened to be the first visitors for this snow season. It was a comfy stay with breakfast; 3-min drive to Madarao ski resort; highly recommend

Klabbe was of great help to us! incredibly helpful and accommodating!

Good breakfast, good location! Also the staff were friendly and nice!

Friendly host, cozy room. But the restroom is quite small.
