Amazing stay

What a great trip! The place was awesome and super cozy. The king bed was one of the most comfortable beds I’ve ever slept in. The location was perfect. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay. I don’t think we’ve ever had a host that was as responsive as Catherine was. We’re definitely coming back.

Great memories here

We had a fantastic stay at this ski condo and would absolutely book it again for a group trip. First, the location for skiing was a win. Being so close to the lift made mornings easier. One thing future guests should definitely keep in mind is the lift closing time. We had to plan carefully to make sure we caught the last ride up, because once the lift shuts down, getting back to the house becomes more of a challenge (particularly after a full day on the slopes). As long as you keep an eye on the closing schedule, though, the access is a short walk up the trails between the condos. The layout of the house worked well for our group of eight, including kids. There was space to spread out, but also a great common area where we could all gather for meals and games in the evenings. The bedrooms were arranged in a way that gave families a bit of privacy, and the kids loved having their own bunk area. We made great memories here and would happily return!

Terrific location to the slopes and heated toilets!!

Wow! Wonderful spot, great location and super cute condo! The heated toilets were the icing on the cake! Place was completely updated and just a short walk to the slopes. We will definitely stay there again.

Brought the kids

We had a very nice stay. The hosts were very responsive to all of our questions. Short (but a little steep) walk to the slopes but also a very quick drive to the resort parking lot for picking up kids after skiing if need be. Instructions were very clear and the house had all we needed. Room for a decent size group and the view off the back deck was great to see the slopes. Would stay again. Thank you.
