The location is ideal and we had everything we needed. The bed is comfortable and there were lots of towels. There’s a place to hang skis.

Thank you for your thoughtful review. We’re so glad you enjoyed the ideal location and found the home well equipped for your stay. It’s great to hear the comfortable bed, ample towels, and ski storage helped make your trip easy and enjoyable. We’d be happy to host you again for your next mountain getaway.
We loved our stay at Village Studios! The location is PRIME. You can walk anywhere and don't even need to use your car. Steps from a market with breakfast snacks drinks basic groceries and just a couple minutes to walk to all village restaurants, shops, lifts and gondola. It also had all the basic kitchen items and a sink which was extremely helpful with our kids. Communication was also very easy and quick. We would absolutely stay here again1

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you loved your stay at Village Studios and took full advantage of the PRIME location — it really doesn’t get better than being steps from the market, restaurants, shops, lifts, and gondola. We’re also glad the in-room kitchen setup made things easier with the kids, and that communication felt smooth and quick throughout your stay. We’d absolutely love to host you and your family again on your next trip to the village!
The location is nice. It's not exactly ski in/ski out but you are less than a minute from the Village Lift or the Gondola. The room was clean and I appreciate having all condiments and dish soap and sponge and coffee there without needing to go buy those "basic" kitchen cooking and cleaning stuff.I wish the pull out sofa bed was a little more comfortable because all the sections were not even. I wish I could give a rating that is more granular than a star because this is really a 4.25 star.
