Great place.
So much good to say, and the pictures of the condition of the unit and the decorating are spot on. It is down a flight of stairs, but has a gorgeous view of the river. We had an issue with the fire place and it was fixed that same day, as was the pump problem we found with the hot tub. Thank you:). Everything we needed was there, and even more. However, there are some things we wished we had known, so to help future travelers we include the following:
1. If you plan to use the hot tub, there are two in the complex, and one is just off the end of the building containing this unit. Bring flip flops to wear, and be aware that it is two flights of stairs down to the nirvana of the hot tub.
2. Speaking of nirvana, unless something is done by the complex to change the way the water intake works (it is right at the water surface) you have to choose between having the jets off, or putting up with the loud sucking sounds as the intake pulls in a mixture of air and water every time you move. This is not the owner’s fault, and if you like your hot tub experience to give you flashbacks to the campfire scene in Blazing Saddles, then you will love it :)
3. It is way too far, dangerous and hilly to even think about walking to either the gondola or the main bus station, as the condo is east of the main four lane road.
4. Last, the condo is not served by the primary skier express bus line. It is served by the red line. Based on our experience, you will want to drive two minutes and park in the Elk Lot; and then catch the village express bus there. That will avoid the 30 minute tour of the outskirts of Avon that is required to come home on the red line after you switch to that bus at any of the various options available.
Still a great unit, and we had a ball. Thanks
