We had a great stay at this condo! The unit was very clean, well maintained, and comfortable, which made it easy to relax and enjoy our time in the mountains. Everything was in good working order and clearly well cared for. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others visiting the area.

The rental company and resort staff were very responsive and accommodating. The condo is redone nicely. Kitchen well stocked with pots/pans and utensils (but bring all your own soaps, sponges, trash bags, spices, etc). We got snowed/iced in a few days, so the pool area was perfect for the kids. Spoke the rental company about the cleaners, could do a better job with the cleaning but overall we would stay here again!!!! Location is perfect for Sugar skiing.

I WOULD GIVE IT A HIGHER RATING BUT SADLY IT WASN'T AS CLEAN AS WHAT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN. PROPERTY MANAGER DISMISSED MY COMPLAINT. SUCH A CUTE CONDO. THEY REALLY NEED TO HIGHER NEW CLEANERS AND MAKE SURE THE SHEETS ARE ACTUALLY WASHED AND THAT THEY CLEAN UNDER TABLES AND IN THE CORNER OF THE ROOMS.

We had a great time. This condo is on the 4th floor and on the very top of the mountain. 2.5 miles up. Beautiful views and close to restaurants, a grocery store and a mountain coaster. This condo is beautifully decorated with king bed in the master with the a stone shower and queen bed in the second bedroom. It has Wi-Fi and board games for family entertainment. The balcony has two chairs so you can sit and look at the sunrise and sip on your coffee. Would definitely recommend
