Motorcycle Trip

This was the cleanest place I have ever rented. The location was perfect. We watched the golfers while drinking coffee on the deck. The condo was tastefully decorated, without being cluttered with knickknacks. It was well stocked with the necessities. Parking right outside the door. Sent a message to the host, she responded quickly. Would definitely stay here again.

Great condo!

This condo was clean, beds were very comfortable, the view off the deck was great. The sliding door leading to the deck did not have any curtains or blinds on it which was very uncomfortable because anyone could be looking into the house and we wouldn’t know it we did use the pull out bed and sat at the table and played games and felt uncomfortable with it being all open. But over all very nice place.

Solid place to stay, minutes from the yellow chair lift

The condo was adequate for our family for a ski vacation. It was just a couple minute drive to the yellow chairlift. Not having an oven caught us by surprise so we scrapped one prepped meal. We would Be happy to return given the location.

Great weekend

Lots of space and we never felt crowded with all of our ski and snowboard gear. Two full bathrooms was great for a family. Easy short drive to Schuss/Shanty/Ivan’s. A full kitchen and access to the pools and sauna made for an easy relaxing weekend.
