Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Check-in, communication
great place, but communication still tilts too much towards the tower of Babel
Awesome location. Charming decor. No explanation whatsoever, in any medium, regarding how one is supposed to get into the units. Led to a nail-bating arrival at 10 pm Friday night. Turns out, there is a clubhouse and reception desk (closed at nine though), with keys in envelope in cabinet. I would have LOVED it if someone had told me that and/or was available on the provided phone number, at some point prior to arrival.

Great condo for skiing. Even on the first floor you have to take steps down to get to the door. Plenty of kitchen ware, but over full as there was not a cabinet that was empty to put the food we brought. It had great heat as we never got cold and the sliding doors were not drafty. The road to the condo was a typical top of the mountain terrain, so you would need chains or a 4-wheel drive to get there.

Reviewer Comments:
This was a very nice rental. It has been very well taken care of. Super clean. The master bedroom mattress has worn out. When sleeping you are trapped in a bowl on both sides. It made it impossible to sleep next to my wife. We both would roll away from each other. We both woke up very sore and fatigued. This is a simple fix... get a new mattress. We would not rent this property again "ONLY" because of the sleeping condition.

Unit 513 seems old and is in need of refurbishment. Both showers leaked continuously. We had to close the door so we could sleep. The freezer rack was rusted. The sofa bed has clearly seen better days. The heater in the two-bed room smelled as it burned the dust that had collected there.

Reviewer Comments:
The only good thing about the condo was the water pressure. This unit desperately needs to be updated - the furniture, the linens, the cleanliness, in general. Shocking to spend as much as we did for the condo to have furniture and linens falling apart/torn, a pubic hair on the “sanitized” toilet seat, grass on the couch (which felt like it would completely fall apart when you sat on it), etc. The kitchen was pretty well stocked, but the poor faucet and sink made cooking and cleaning very confusing. Also shocking was a lack of hairdryer - we have stayed in condos, B&Bs, hotels, motels all around the country and even in Europe and the Caribbean and we have always had a hairdryer. Unfortunately, you can only Band-Aid things for so long; this condo needs a complete gut.

We had two couples and this worked out great. Plenty of room and a great view of the slopes. The deposit policy is archaic. We had to bring $1K in cash and won't receive the deposit back for up to 30 days. Normally you just put down a credit card. Only downside to the trip.

Reviewer Comments:
We stayed for a few days mid-January. The location was a quick walk to the new pool/hot tub area. Remember to bring your pool towels! The unit had not been turned over when we arrived and the front office/housekeeping addressed it fairly immediately so we went out for dinner to give them some time. The view from the condo was fun for the kids to watch snowmakers and skiers leaving the Oma chair. Oma’s meadow is a blue so my new to skiing kids needed ski school and a drive to the base each day. The condo has several issues with furniture. The back top corner of a lazy boy has torn fabric and staples sticking out so we put a towel over it to protect those walking by it. The other lazy boy is broken and difficult to extend/retract. Kitchen had adequate amount of cookware, sheet pans, dishes, kettle and coffee maker. Bedspreads/duvets are old, torn. The heating is very sensitive and fickle so we erred cooler. I wish there were more hooks to hang the snow clothes, pool towels and our bath towels. We got creative. We could not turn off the overhead fans in either bedroom. The shower pressure was great. Overall we had a great time, we were comfortable and everything was overall ok.

Reviewer Comments:
Great location at the top of Oma's lift, and the hot water and electric heaters worked. Nothing else good to say about this property. It appeared that this unit was last updated in the 1970s. Beds were terrible, maybe from the 70's as well. The walls were damaged and needing paint. There were light bulbs missing from light fixtures. The kitchen was functional with one person in it but became overcrowded with two people and if there was a third person in the kitchen all work had to cease until at least one person left. I'm sure they cleaned between guests but the age of everything made it feel a little dusty/dingy. There was no wood provided for the fireplace and none available on the property for purchase. We had a two-night reservation and did not stay the second night.
