Fantastic Location

You can't beat the location. Take the elevator down to the rental shop, shopping, restaurants and slopes. I particularly liked being able to go down to the rental shop in comfortable clothes and be able to go back upstairs to gear up for the day. We will be back for our ski vacation next year for sure.

Couples get-away

Love the location! Our check-in process went smooth. The condo was just perfect for us! Our group consisted of 4 adults (2couples). There was plenty of room and it was great to ski all day and come rest and or eat lunch and back to skiing. The only complain that we had was the lighting situation in the bedroom— too dim. The lamps help but we would have liked more light. Other than the lighting everything was just as expected!

No, just no

Maybe if you're only staying a night or two you could deal with this disaster, but this place is just awful. It's not any one thing, it's that the whole thing is just bad in a ton of little ways. As other reviews have mentioned, the beds are terrible. It's like sleeping on concrete, and yes, they put mattress toppers on the beds, but they're still not good at all. In summer, you have to leave the windows open at night, but the resort delivery area is right outside your window, so every day before dawn, we were woken up by the BEEP BEEP of commercial vehicles in reverse. One day that happened at 4:00 AM. The patio was disgusting, one of that chairs was broken, and the view is literally a dumpster. Only 2 of the 4 burners on the stove worked. The fridge, stove and dishwasher were all manufactured in the 80's or earlier, and you're missing basic kitchen necessities. We had to clean every surface in the kitchen and living room when we arrived, there were fingernail clippings on the end-table by the recliner, and the dishes were gross and had to be cleaned by hand (because the dishwasher is useless) before being used. The windows in one bedroom both had broken knobs, so opening/closing was very difficult. One of the toilets also clogs repeatedly under normal usage by a single person. The only positive here was that VRC (property manager) did let us break the reservation and refunded us for half of the rental.

Excellent location

The best thing about this condo is the location. Excellent access to the slopes and the roof top hot tub is a huge perk. The ability to have wood delivered was fantastic. The condo is very spacious for a family of 4. The negatives - we could not get an adequate temperature in the frig. It kept freezing everything, several outlet plugs are very loose so items wont stay plugged in, both bathrooms need some updates. The jacuzzi tub is very old and completely unreliable. As other reviewers stated the lighting in parts of the condo is challenging at night. The light over the dining table is very tricky to get all bulbs to shine bright. This condo could definitely use some updates but if your focus is skiing and the outdoors the location and easy access to everything can not be beat.

Great location but needs attention

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Location was fantastic, the management company was fantastic.The size of the unit was awesome for a large family. The owners need to give some much needed TLC to the unit. The couches are super old and worn out, you sink down when you sit. The kitchen needs some re-stocking (glasses, pots, pans) and the cabinets are all falling apart. The carpet is pretty stained and the bathroom grout has mold. It was totally fine for our stay, this unit was less than any other unit but I would pay the extra money to stay in a place that didn't have gross blankets and nasty pillow cases from the 80's. Its about time you put some money back into your unit:) Replace the micorwave above the stove don't just put one one in the dining room.

Perfect location for Purgatory Skiing

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This condo was overall a great place to stay as a family of 4 for Christmas vacation. There were a couple of things I would offer suggestions on. The condo faces the parking lot which has a very bright security light that is directly outside the master window. The blinds were fine, but I would add some black out curtains for less brightness. Also the shower curtain in the master bathroom was about 6” too short, which allowed water to go everywhere. And finally, the TV’s were only on cable, with no option to stream any Netflix/Hulu. This day and age, I haven’t ever stayed in a rental that didn’t have a smart TV for the renter to log into their accounts. That was a bummer as we didn’t get to watch Christmas football. Again, awesome location, nicely outfitted kitchen, but could stand a few small upgrades.

Unit 414 in Village Center

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Family of three (dad plus 15 year old and 12 year old) rented this 4th floor unit for the Presidents’ Day week for a father-son week of skiing. This is our 3rd year in a row renting a ski-in-ski out from VRC at purgatory. Unfortunately unit 414 was the worst unit by a large margin of the three we have rented at purgatory. The other two experiences (both two bedroom units) were great. The pro’s for 414 are the location, which if you are renting any of the condos near the lifts is great. True ski-in-ski out. The 2/2 units are spacious and have two king sized beds and a fold out sleeper in the living room. The cons for unit 414 was that it was the most tired of any unit we’ve ever rented in purgatory and maybe rented anywhere ever. Most everything in the unit seemed like the absolute lest expensive thing someone could buy. The linens, dishes, cups, appliances (the clothes washer and dryer was good). The kitchen equipment and utensils were past due for replacement. The button of the toaster had to be held to make it toast. The knives were useless (I used a packet knife to cut things) the fridge had broken shelves and drawers. The cabinet doors and drawers were loose and falling off. The shelves were janky and mismatched. The glassware and plates were super tired and the dishwasher wasn’t good enough to make the clean dishes ever look clean. Some of the lights were hanging out of the ceiling, but the worst of it all were the beds. Both beds were like sleeping on box springs. I can’t remember in 20+ years having such uncomfortable bass in a hotel or short term rental. Also the WiFi was externally unreliable and when it did work the signal was weak. This isn’t on the condo owners as the resort manages the IT and based on our inquires, they were having issues. These issues are not the fault of VRC. In fact VRC was very responsive to any question or concerns and we will rent from VRC without a 2nd though

Perfect location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This location can’t be beat. It was truly ski in and out. So close to the slopes and the village/ shops. The beds were comfortable and the living room set up enjoyable for the family. The negatives were that there was a mixup with my registration and they had double booked me with someone else. Purgatory Resort staff figured it out and were super nice about it. The condo itself needs some TLC. It was highly understocked... 3 rolls of 1 ply TP for 4 people (7 days) was not enough. No trash bags. Coffee maker needed replacing (which by the last day, a new one was sent), almost zero coffee in the condo but fortunately Purgatory Resort provided on my request, all the dishes and the utensils were coated in white buildup from the dishwasher and looked gross but were clean, only a couple dishwashing tabs available and they had gotten wet and were all stuck together, the DRYER DID NOT WORK so we couldn’t dry clothes/gloves after skiing or wash clothes, only 2 pieces of firewood (Purgatory Resort brought more at my request), candles in the condo were fire hazards (when power went out for the whole evening & night, we tried lighting the almost finished candles and the whole candles caught on fire. Luckily I noticed and chose to throw them out so no one else made that mistake and burned the place down!) Overall we were very happy (minus the dryer situation) but it def needs some attention from an owner when you are paying these types of prices to stay.

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: adequate for what we needed but not ver warm or inviting. The furniture at the entrance of building was in disarray with a bottle cleaner on a table. Dark in hallways made it feel unsafe. Elevator was quirky not arriving at floor you expected. Shower tended to overflow due to strong water pressure while other shower had no pressure. Pots and pans old. Some nice features

You get what you pay for.. I guess

Pros: 1.location. You take an elevator down to the second floor, and your on the slopes. 2. Hot water for showers. Cons: where to begin? 1. Place is dated and dirty. Sad really, because it has a lot of potential. It hasn’t been remodeled in 35 years. Dirty floors, stains on carpet.. overall place just smelled unclean. Dust and garbage left behind under the furniture. Even my 9 year old noticed how filthy it was.. and he doesn’t usually notice anything! 2. Loud. You can hear partiers, screaming kids, and the grooming machines running all night. 3. The beds are the most uncomfortable beds I’ve ever slept in. The floor would almost be better. You will leave not sore from skiing, but with a sore back from the beds. 4. Toilets clog constantly. Exhaust fans dont seem to work.. Instead they seem to suck air in from the outside, and sucks in gasoline smells from snow cat machines. Lovely. 5. Coffee maker was busted. To managements defense, they did deliver a new coffee maker later in the day. 6. No streaming TV. Only local channels and a DVD player. Who watches DVD’s?? 7. Dryer never shuts off.. runs constantly once turned on. 8. Thermostats don’t work. It’s either on or off. So you’re either freezing or roasting. Overall, the place is a dump. Needs a major overhaul. Luckily our trip was short. I would never return to stay here. Lots of other condos/townhouses with great location to choose from. Avoid.

Perfect location - everything we needed

This unit is located right above the ski shop and the prep area where you go before you hit the mountain. The main lift is right in front, this is a perfect location for anyone skiing. The unit was very adequate for our needs, not luxury, but comfortable. The resort does not have many choices for food as it's a quiet place and seems to close down early. We went into town one night, the other 2 were spent at the pizzaria and Purgys, which was a little pricey but very good food. We will 100% stay again.

Poorly managed and maintained property - not worth the price

While the general property was very nice, the specific room we stayed in was not managed well. Note that we vacation frequently and own our own rental properties. Therefore, I believe I have a good perspective regarding what is customary/normal. Bath o Shower- leaked to room below. We had several contractors and maintenance people come to our room during our visit. Shower was unusable throughout stay. Note that one maintenance person told us it had been recently remodeled and the plumbing was not done properly. o Shower Curtain fell during first use. One end of rod was missing the rubber “foot” that gives it grip on wall. o Toilet – clogged with even with little use. This appears to be a known issue due the signs posted. Note that the toilet in the main area seems to operate properly and in the additional bath it was extremely unreliable. Toilet was unusable for anything other than liquids during stay. o Vent fan – runs in reverse, so it pulls in frigid outdoor air o Heater – knob missing, unusable. Laundry: Dryer does not shut off using timer, moisture setting, or even opening the door. Bath 2/General o Only 4 towels provided for entire stay. Contacted management company and was told that was their policy. Two additional towels were delivered. Personally, this is still fewer than I would have expected given that the dryer could not be left running unattended. o Minimal toilet paper supplied. Room was provided with about a roll and a half of toilet paper per bathroom per their policy. ] Bedroom o No cable box or anything attached to TV in bedroom. Was told by property manager they would address this, but it was never addressed. - Living o Fireplace - Matches to start fire was about a fourth of a matchbook without the cover/striker o Fold-out Couch - No bedding for fold-out couch. Unit was advertised as sleeps 6 but there were no linens to make the fold-out couch. Kitchen o Dishes were not in great condition – hard-water-spots, some silverware still have food stains stuck to them, some dishes chipped o Drawer broken. Had previous repairs when have subsequently failed. Property management offered a refund of one night (our stay was six). The room, as provided, should have been half the price we paid.

Nice place with great location to slopes. It is not slope side but does have view of mountain in the back. We had a hard time adjusting to beds because they are firm and we prefer a softer mattress.
