The Yaccarino Family can't wait to host you at their Family Chalet! Imagine pulling up to this authentic mountain chalet and instantly feeling like you are worlds away from your hectic life. This beautiful home is adorned with tasteful mountain decor and makes you feel instantly at home in this wooded retreat! You only need to step out the front door to walk right across the street and over to the Locust Lake beach with a great playground, shuffleboard, and picnic area! Built by a lovely couple in 1970 as a vacation home for their large family of six children, this mountain chalet has been welcoming guests for over 50 years! The Yaccarinos spent their winters skating and skiing in the village and Jack Frost and their summers riding dirt bikes around the village and swimming in the lakes. In addition to continuing the tradition of hosting other families in this very special home, Chryssa Yaccarino, the second-generation owner of Yaccarino's Dinkyville, has carefully updated the cabin installing modern amenities while maintaining the charm of the home her parents built with love. Check out the large screened-in porch and expansive outdoor deck with ample seating for all. There are TWO wood-burning fireplaces (one downstairs and one upstairs), a fire pit, three flat-screen TVs with Roku devices, and many streaming options and, of course, hi-speed WiFi, Alexa, and a Bluetooth Speaker.
