A true ski in ski out place

Really enjoyed the location. Quiet but also a true ski in ski out place which is hard to find. Perfect for skiing with kids to coming back for lunch or for going to warm up. The laundry was also great to have. Nothing better than packing light for a long stay. Upstairs bedroom with bunk beds really worked good for the kids. A nice quiet place for them to sleep.

Clean, equipped, and right beside chairlift

The property is a basement suite with bedroom downstairs and a garage renovation to add a large bedroom upstairs. Part of the garage was turned into a shed with enough room to store all your skis/boards or a couple bicycles. It is 3 houses away from the Toby chair, about a 1 minute walk or less to ski. The Toby chair is slow but does the job to get you to the main lifts. It is a 7 min walk to the hot pools. The house is well equipped for 5 people. Lots of dishes, cookware, slow cooker, paper towel, toliet paper, soaps, shampoos, and some condiments. It was like being a guest in a fully supplied house instead of a hotel and fully exceeded our expectations.

Weekend Getaway

Our late summer weekend getaway was perfect. The rental was exactly as described, and the hosts were fantastic with communicating if we had any questions. The set up is ideal for a mountain biking excursion with 4 bikes. The two adult bikes fit in the converted garage/storage space that locks from the outside, and the two smaller bikes were able to be out of the way in the kiddo's bedroom. Our young kids were pumped to run out into the space at the back of the house and build forts in the trees. Perfect for walkie talkies. They were close enough to be seen and heard, but had so much space to roam. The rental size was excellent for what we required, and everything was very tidy and clean. It is in an excellent location for all activities at Pano, and we very much look forward to coming back this winter for ski season if available!

My wife and I rented the property for a ski weekend with another couple. The property was clean and spacious and exactly as advertised. All communications with the host were timely and without issue. It is literally ski in/ski out; we are already considering re-booking again next year.

Week Getaway

Thanks for the lovely stay. We had a great visit. This location is central on the property so it's about a 5 min walk to the pools or a 5 min walk to the Toby pool. It was fun to take the lift and enjoy activities like mini golf, eurobungy, etc. This condo has a bedroom as you enter the door (kids room) and then you go down the stairs where the rest of the living corridors are. This was nice as our kids are older so it was great for staying up and enjoying our kidless time. It is also on the lower level so in hot temperatures this condo did not get hot. Whereas, other people mentioned they couldn't sleep in their condos as they were too hot. The owners were friendly and helpful a great little getaway.

Stayed this past weekend with our toddler and friends. Great ski-in, ski out location. All amenities were as described, and didn't have any issues! Alisha was responsive and easy to communicate with. The kitchen was a bit bare, but many rentals are these days. We would definitely rent this property again!

Not suitable for families

Check in was fine however, upon settling in, we quickly started noticing basic necessities missing (no face cloths, no dishtowels, 4 old stained towels for our family of 5, no scissors, etc). The unit had a musty smell and it was obvious that the regular cleaning job was very basic and not covering the entire unit (hair throughout the bathroom, heavy dust, spilled sauce in kitchen, etc). We could have settled with all of the above mentioned issues for a couple of nights but the real issue came around 11pm when the neighboring unit occupants (owners-not renters) became obnoxiously loud. It sounded as though they were in our unit it was so bad. What we quickly realized was that the second "bedroom" was actually the garage with a bit of insulation in the walls. It should absolutely not be advertised as a bedroom and we felt deceived. Our small children were in that bedroom and had to listen to young men drinking, cursing and playing video games. We all ended up piling into the bed downstairs (5 people) where the noise was muffled slightly but it went on until 2am (even after we politely asked them to quiet down). In addition to replacing the old stained linen and better equipping the unit, My recommendation to the owners is to have that garage properly constructed into a bedroom before you advertise it as such. In comparison to the other unit we stayed in just prior, this one is grossly overpriced.
