Sadly disappointed

When first viewing property, was led to believe the unit was level with parking lot. Not true--two flights of stairs for dragging luggage to unit and back out again when leaving. Several things in the unit did not work, a list was left for housekeeping to deal.

Definitely overpriced

Location is great, condo is as pictured with the exception of couple of moldy spots in the shower. 2 out of the 3 nights it was extremely windy outside and there are huge gaps in sliding glass doors, it was cold and so loud! The wind was just howling. I made a video of just how loud it was. Very hard to sleep for light sleepers like me. Fireplace did not work. We reached out to management & they did agree to help, however it was hard to coordinate as we were out most of the day. To think that we paid $700 a night with all the fees for 2 sleepless nights is sad. I ended up napping at our friends cabin.

Lovely condo

This condo is beautiful! It is at the top of the mountain, at 5200 ft. You will need 4wd to get to it when roads ice. During rainstorm, water seeps in the sliding doors and on to the wooden floors. We spent all day wiping up. Also, the pilot light in the fireplace won’t stay lit, if windy outside. Appliances are noisy. Beds are cozy. Jet tub is nice at the end of the day. We enjoyed our stay!

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

I'll start with the good. The views are awesome and our family had a great trip. The bad--the furniture is completely worn out (couches all torn up with chunks coming off), the fireplace didn't work (had to call property management), the bathroom door doesn't shut properly, there were nails on the floor, and much more. Noise is a significant issue in this unit. You literally hear people bounding up and down stairs and in their units throughout the day/night (which makes it hard to completely relax or rest--part of the mountain experience). Don't get me wrong, if I'd paid half the price I wouldn't complain about these issues--but renter beware when it comes to fees. We spent almost double of what a nice hotel/similar property would run for a property that needs quite a bit of work. The owners should replace the furniture and ensure the unit has no internal issues (doors hung improperly, working fireplace, no nails on the floor which is a danger, etc.) and be honest with renters about the significant noise issue.

Views for Days!!

Need a place to unwind, escape the heat, or be centrally located to all the High Country has to offer, then this unit is perfect in so many ways. Loved our two days at The Reserve. Will definitely bookmark this property for a time to return. No complaints whatsoever!!
