Great for families or couples. Very clean, spacious bedrooms and bathrooms. Our friends who usually stay in hotels called it a palace! They loved the space a condo provides. New outdoor pool and hot tub added to our enjoyment. This was our 2nd stay and I’m sure we’ll be back. We know we can count on Blue Green properties being top Notch! Including older properties like this one.

Great for a family and close to the resort

This was the perfect location for a family when our goal was to go for skiing. It was a 5 minute drive which meant we could just drop and pickup the skiers. The two bedroom and two bath was huge and perfect for a family of 4. My favorite part was that it felt like staying at a home rental with the convenience of a hotel. A check in/check out desk, community room, large property with amenities.
