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 at 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.
