Very clean, just as advertised. Walking distance to the slopes. Issues with the stove/oven constantly tripping the breaker but maintenance came and looked at. Would stay here again.

Condo was clean. Fridge leaked in and off all weekend. Can’t use the stove and oven at the same time. Complementary soaps and shampoos left in the bathroom were used.

Host was great. place was clean easy access to ski lift
Great little spot. It was convenient to get around! Bunk beds were great for the kids. You can walk everywhere. Only peeve was that it was hot in there. The place had a ceiling fan, but would be useful to have a fan available for the summer time for customers. Over all great communication, clean and very comfortable!
