This place was great for a family of 4! Plenty of space! The kitchen stocked everything we needed and then some. Very short drive to skiing. Joey the host was super responsive with any questions I had. There was a nice stocked keurig machine with plenty of tea, coffee, and hot chocolate. The only downfall we had was the beds were super stiff. We would for sure stay here again!

Snow retreat
Wonderful weekend skiing even if limited runs open. Accommodations perfect for our group. Great to come back at the end of the day and drink wine in front of a cozy fireplace. We will definitely book again at this condo!

Great stay!
Room was extremely clean with a fully loaded coffee/hot cocoa bar which was MUCH appreciated. Very spacious and the fire place was an amazing touch to get warmed up. The ONLY thing I have to critique is that I thought there would be another couch in the room (there was only 1 for 4 people so one of us pulled up a dining room chair), but the stay was fantastic and we will book again when we return to the area!

Absolutely perfect!
Perfect accommodation for family plus dog weekend! Very clean and welcoming, with everything needed provided!
The condo was very hospitable. The only minor complaint was the refrigerator is going out so it makes a loud noise. Other than that everything was amazing. We’ll be back!

Nice place, convenient, dog friendly, fully stocked kitchen. The couches were not great but we didn't spend much time in the place anyway.
