The property is in a beautiful location. The views from the condo are just amazing especially in the master bedroom. The condo is well stocked with tools needed to cook in the condo. My teens enjoyed the pool. The workout room was also a huge bonus.

Wonderful place!
The condo was perfect for our group of 6. The kids loved the upstairs loft. We had plenty of room to relax, cook, and play. Our 7 year old loved the cabinet full of games. Everything was spacious and comfortable! We enjoyed the pool, hot tub and small playground. The location and views were beautiful!

Great place for families
Nice property! The master bedroom is very comfortable. The condo was very clean and quiet. The amenities at the club are excellent. Only "con" was that the stove and oven are smaller than standard appliances, but not a big deal.

Beautiful property with tons of accommodations
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We regularly rent this condo as it's clean, well appointed and located on the top floor (corner) so it's very private. The condo has recently come into new ownership and many of the amenities have been upgraded. The owners are clearly very organized and involved in maintaining the property for their guests. They also left a lovely note that talks about future upgrades they plan to make to the property which we appreciate for future stay consideration. The overall property has many activities for both the winter and summer seasons along with two on-site restaurants (one plant based, one bar/grill) with a third being constructed this winter. The property is also located 8 minutes from the ski mountain with a daily shuttle during ski season. You will NOT be disappointed :)

Nice place to stay
Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This condo was clean. The spiral staircase to the loft was difficult to get up and down and the two twin beds were very uncomfortable. The condo was well stocked with everything you need. I was however a little surprised that we were responsible to do the dishes, start a load of laundry and take all the trash out prior to leaving when we had to pay a cleaning fee. We’ve stayed at several other condos and never had to do this as again we pay a cleaning fee. Beautiful property.

Decent stay
Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was fine. Nothing great, but nothing terrible. Light bulbs were out in our room. The dishwasher barely cleaned the dishes. The tile (especially in the shower floor) were actually kind of painful to walk on with bare feet. The worst part is that room key after room key kept malfunctioning so we had to get new keys probably 5 or 6 times.
