  Location was great and condo was plenty roomy for a 3-day stay. Amenities also well taken care of. All in all, good value for money.

• Decent option

  3/5

  The pictures in the listing make the rooms, especially the living room and kitchen, appear much larger than they actually are. I am sure the listing is accurate but the pictures were a bit deceptive. The bunk bed room is a converted closed patio and not very welcoming but did serve it's purpose. The leather love seat has been replaced with two upholstered chairs. We were unable to get the dishwasher closed to run a cycle. The microwave is very outdated but did work. The washing machine would throw an error code and not complete the wash, except for the sanitizer option which did run. The living room TV has Dish but we were unable to get it to work, which may have been operator error. There was an electric fireplace in the livingbroom which was very nice. We had big concerns and issues with the cleanliness upon arrival. We reached out to the owner and their local contact, the housecleaning service owner, and they did their best to make it right. The ski base is about a 6-8 minute walk but it is an incline uphill and is a bit of a struggle when carrying all your gear. It is still closer than the parking area behind the resort. The parking states 2 cars per house but it is first come, first serve and difficult to maneuver larger vehicles. The guest book was one of the best I have seen and very helpful. Overall, we had a place to stay to ski and the owners worked with us and were easy to reach but it could use some updates and attention.

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Adrienne, the right vacation property is everything, and we're disappointed if this wasn't the one for you. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to clarify the following:
  – The condo was professionally photographed, with square footage listed to set appropriate expectations. The bunk bed room is accurately shown and includes a quiet sitting area with two chairs and a small table. The listing also shows the microwave and specifies guest access to two parking spots in the lot, along with the distance to the ski base. We recently replaced the leather loveseat with two upholstered chairs, maintaining the same seating capacity. A photoshoot is planned this Spring to capture the update.
  – The dishwasher, washing machine, and TV have all been tested and are functioning properly. The washing machine has multiple settings, and we provide a detailed welcome book and are available for questions.
  – We provided an industry-standard refund for the cleanliness issue you experienced, coached the cleaning team, and took steps to ensure it doesn't happen again.
  The homeowner takes great pride in creating a welcoming environment for guests. We’ll continue working together to ensure a positive experience for all future visitors.

  Perfect for 5 of us, had everything that we needed with great communication from the property manager. Super easy to get to a shuttle stop to get up to the lift and ticket areas. Great stay!
