We enjoyed our stay! Beautiful views and my family had a wonderful. The only issue is the stairs, I have a 15 month old so I just blocked off the stair case. We wished the jacuzzi worked at the time but that didn’t stop us from having a wonderful trip. Close to everything and not far from the slopes.
