Understated merits!
I reserved last minute and was pleasantly surprised with how nice the B308 rental presented itself! I'm thankful for a few of the reviews prior to my own, highlighting some of the rental's attributes.
I agree in that the unit's appearance is understated, having since suggested to the powers that be to take some updated rental photos that reduce some of the sun glare, which currently (in my opinion) give the rental's looked a "sun-faded" appearance. Also, though dated to some degree, I felt the rental offers good value for what it is and is well stocked with fitments.
I like the elevated ceilings and extra light coming into the 3rd (top) floor. I also like that the view out the living room windows are not looking out over a parking lot, trees immediately outside the window, and/or even other nearby rental/time share buildings. Instead, there's a nice separation of view to a grassy area, onto a nice variety of trees, onto the mountain/s beyond.
The rental is very convenient to the greater property hot tubs and pool being just down the stairs and around the corner from the rental itself. It's stairs only with no elevator/s, but my family was fine handling this.
I was also thankful for there being some good food options for a variety of meal types within a 2 minute walk from the rental. I ended up walking to Antonio's for pizza and beer, walked twice (2x) to both Apres Burger Bistro for breakfast and also to the Wild Plum Market at various times for general previsions, coffee and Gelato. Sure, you would probably want to go further afield to explore the offerings of greater Steamboat in summer (when we visited), but if you wanted to, you probably could simply stay put in the mountain village.
A comment on cleaning. I discovered the rental wasn't vacuumed upon normal arrival. Vacasa dropped the ball in my efforts to communicate via texting...as many of the messages regarding my stay had been channeled through. Thankfully, the local Lodge at Steamboat staff corrected this and helped make things right in the end. Though an unfortunate lapse, this doesn't impact my general impression or overall review here. I would recommend B308 for any interested, assuming you can handle the stairs up to the rental!
