We truly enjoyed our stay here. The place was super clean. It was well appointed with plenty of pillows, blankets, towels and essentials such as paper towelsn dish soap etc. There was even shampoo and conditioner in the shower and mini soaps and lotions. A very nice touch was the packet of makeuo remover wipes. The kitchen had salt and pepper and a few other cooking basics. It was very quiet as advertised. It is a great central location to many towns and slopes although we didn't ski. The bed was pretty comfortable and the shower was nice and hot. We will totally rent here again the next time we stay in the area.

Location was perfect and the property was well kept. We had everything we needed. Owner was easy to contact and responded quickly. Price was less and the apartment was much bigger. Would definately recommend. Only suggestion would be that the mattress was a little soft for our liking.
