Pros: Super convenient location, excellent size and set-up of condo with convenient amenities (ex: 2 1/2 bathrooms, kitchen supplies, garage, and available laundry). Beautiful views of ski slope Cons: Dated condo, furniture, and flooring. Would love to see the place with a facelift of these items. Overall: Great place and visit

Event weekend
We had a motorcycle event at Bear Mountain and this condo was the perfect location for walking distance. The only issues were ants in the kitchen and washer dial didn’t work correctly had to rig it to make work. Other than that perfect.

Great location! Cute accommodations. Would visit again!
Having two full bathrooms plus a half bath was really awesome for our group, which had two couples and a 1 year old. The location is stellar--we had planned to walk to Bear Mountain to avoid driving or bussing but because our 1 year old couldn't fit into any gear, we decided to just play in the "yard". This condo is therefore perfect for families of all ages--if you want to snowboard/ski, Bear Mountain is a short walk away. If the kids are too young, there is a huge open space to play in the snow, build snowmen, make snow angels, etc. All the appliances were working well (oven, microwave, fridge, dish washer). The living space is beautiful with some charm from the 90s as well as some updated furniture to make it feel like a really nice little getaway. Our Rav4 could fit in the small garage, though we pulled out to get the kid in her carseat. We appreciated the salt that was provided for the icy driveway. The double bed was a bit uncomfortable, so if you don't like a firm mattress either use the queen bed or bring along your own mattress topper or pillow etc. We brought our own pack and play and set it up in the closet (of course we left the closet door open!). The closet space was perfect for it, which gave us more room in the bedroom. The place was well heated and had a nice view of the open space where we played in the snow. We would highly recommend and would visit again.

Golf weekend.
A friend and I went for the weekend just to play some golf. It was a great location on the ninth Tee. It was only 5 to 10 minutes to the village. If I were going for longer than a weekend, I may have wanted a larger TV in the living area and a TV in the bedroom. It was perfect for the two of us just to get away and relax.
