Thank you so much for your review! We're happy to hear you enjoyed the "clean" space, the coffee, and the amenities — and we agree, those mountain views are hard to beat! We're also glad our communication helped make your stay smooth and enjoyable. We really appreciate your feedback and would love to host you again anytime.
We are a family of four and enjoyed the location of this property most. It is conveniently located near a restaurant and the slopes. We also appreciated the cleanliness of this property.
Location was great, ski in/out was perfect. Easy check-in/out process, place was clean, bathrooms are nicely updated and had all the utensils you need. Thanks!
We had a blast staying at this cute home over Spring Break. Two adults and two kids (ages 6 and 8) loved everything about it, including the close proximity to skiing/lifts and the swimming pool within the building. We'd love to come back. It was perfect for us. Thank you!
The unit was clean and the management was easy to work with. However, the showers in both bathrooms did not have much for water pressure and also the water was cold. This was kind of a deal breaker for us as we stayed 3 nights and a family of 4. An alternative that was given to us was we could use the pool showers. We did not. The cost to rent this condo is expensive to not have working showers.

Hi Angie, I apologize again for the frustration of the low water pressure. The water towers were down at the entire resort making this situation totally out of our control and not something that is a normal experience in this unit. I hope you are able to visit again with this not being a part of your stay experience.
