Spring break ski
The condo is in a fantastic location, clean and well appointed. Walking distance to ski lifts and local places to eat near the slopes. We had 6 adults and were very comfortable. Will definitely stay here again.

Ponderosa Condo at Crested Butte
This is an extraordinarily well furnished and equipped condo unit. Two bedrooms/bathrooms upstairs and two on main level. The living and dining room is very comfortable and features a large dining table for group meals. The unit has spectacular views of the ski resort mountain and is a flat 5 minute walk to the lifts. We enjoyed the sunny afternoons socializing on the decks during our March stay. The community hot tub is conveniently located and also has stunning views of the mountain and resort. Garage parking is provided for one vehicle and a second in the open lot.

Wonderful stay in a great location
We enjoyed our stay so much at this lovely condo. We were an easy walk to the lift and there was a shoveler and lockers nearby. The condo was very clean and had comfortable beds. We appreciated the host including plenty of supplies like toilet paper, paper towels and lots of towels. Having plenty of comfortable furniture in the living area allowed us all a place to sit.

Perfect vacation home!!
This condo was the perfect getaway home for our group of four couples. We each had our own bedroom with plenty or privacy, and the kitchen, dining room, living room and outdoor spaces easily accommodated all of us. The kitchen was stocked with literally everything we needed for cooking and entertaining. We loved how quiet the location was, the views, comfort of the condo, and the perfect location (only a few minute walk to the base of the ski mountain and hiking/biking trails) Communication with the owners was easy, and they provided so much helpful information about the area. We will definitely be back next year!!

Great home for a group. Clean, cute, well facilitated. A bit chilly this weekend to spend much time in the balconies, but the view out of them was beautiful. 7 min walk to the base / lifts as well as the shuttle into town made everything easy.

Perfect Place
This condo is amazing. The location is great, it’s decorated well and the layout was perfect. By far one of our favorite places we have stayed in CB. The house is warm and cozy while giving you all the space 2 families needed! We could walk to the slopes and were able to stay at the house to watch the fireworks, torch parade and see our group come/go to the slope (great when you have a large group that all ski different amounts.)

Excellent location, comfortable space for a ski weekend
This property was exactly what we needed for a late season ski weekend in crested butte. The location is excellent, less than a 10 minute walk to the ski lifts and bus stop to town. The living room and master bedroom look directly out to the mountain, great views! Check in/out we’re easy, and the details provided by the management company were very helpful. The only issue we encountered was the dishwasher was not functional. I would definitely recommend this property, and be happy to stay here again myself.

Overall great place. The Bathrooms were super clean and updated, hot water was an issue when both showers upstairs were being used at same time, no big deal just FYI. Bedrooms were cozy, great for older kids 8+. The walk to the lift was a little on the long side, if skiing suggest bringing pack to haul ski boots and use a locker. Would definitely book again.

Here’s the deal.....
Luckily, it was the people that made this trip awesome. We are two families traveling together, back to CB after being sent home last spring break. This has been my family’s 7th year in a row to spend spring break at Mt. CB. And the other families 4th time. The condo was clean in reference to countertops, trash empty, beds made, etc. We did happen to check in 1.5hrs before check in (which was rule breaking but we had 6 kids going bonkers and no where else to go during the snow storm). Since checking in early, we lacked toilet paper. The property manger group had toilet paper and paper towels delivered promptly to us. Either way, here’s the deal....the condo’s furnishing are extremely worn out. No one in their right mind would spend THOUSANDS of dollars to stay in a place with multiple floor rugs that have holes worn in them the size of Texas. The carpets in the bedrooms and on the stairs are stained, as if they have never been cleaned. The furniture pillows have to be 20 years old, flattened and stained. Furniture through out the condo, old and deemed “antique” when I told the property manager of one bedrooms dresser that would probably fall to pieces if used! Bath towels also stained. This placed needs a basic rental property refresh! Personal owner photos were up around the whole condo. Too much “stuff” occupying space in this condo. The location and views are amazing!! Had we been able to see the unit before renting, we would have never stayed there. With a basic refresh, this place would be worth it.

Response from VrboOwner on Mar 23, 2021
HI Jessica, I find your review unfair and quite unkind. You weren't very pleasant to deal with and after receiving 3 emails from our company kindly asking you to not check in early you still checked in early. You didn't call, you didn't email, you simply checked into a condo that hadn't been finished being stocked and cleaned and then you set about complaining. The weekend of your checkin was Spring Break and we had a pretty major snowstorm happening in the region. We mentioned in the final email that we were trying to get folks in properties as soon as we could but to please allow our group to do the work they needed to. So Im sure receiving my call about this put you into a tailspin. The carpets and rugs are due for replacement and the rugs are currently on order. Carpets are being replaced this off-season. I don't find the furnishings tired but I will alert the owners that couch pillows and towels are on the list for replacement. This is truly a lovely unit and I'd agree its ready for a light refresh (again happening this spring) I in no way agree with most of what you stated. Your group was in general discouraging with your entitlement. We don't discourage our owners from putting up their personal photos as we like to remind our guests that they are staying in a family property that is well loved by them. Our owners embrace the opportunity to share their property with you.

It was an awesome week
The condo was clean and wonderfully roomy for our party of 9. Shay, the property manager, responded quickly to our few questions. Future guests during this COVID season need to be aware that the kitchen doesn’t have the usual stuff we travelers are accustomed to. So if your recipe calls for a spice or olive oil or a condiment you need to bring it with you. In summary my husband said “the location was great, the price was right, and it was perfect for our family.” This was our 5th trip to CB. We’ll certainly look into booking this property again.

New Year's in CB with 7 adults
The location, and the pricing, 4 bedrooms/4 baths is why we rented this property. Unfortunately for the owners are probably unaware that the cleanliness of the condo is questionable. The bathrooms had body hair from previous guests on the floors, the pan lids were put back in the cupboards without being washed. The bath towels were in desperate need of a good bleaching and there was a layer of dust on all surfaces. This property needs a deep clean. The other issue is seating in the living area. There is enough seating for 6. This Condo can sleep 12. On the other hand the selection and amount of cookware, serving pieces, dinnerware and glassware is wonderful. There were 2 decent quality knives that had the tips broken off but otherwise well appointed kitchen! Great parking, easy access, really great views! Fix the cleanliness issues and it's a great place rent.

Response from VrboOwner on Mar 23, 2020
This review is spiteful to say the least. When this guest booked there were many red flags that went up immediately. She requested that we have the carpets professionally cleaned the day she arrived which was during our busy holiday time. We were able to oblige about a week prior to her stay. She also mentioned that some of her guests were highly allergic and she wanted to be sure the condo was up to par so that their vacation wasn't ruined. Guests like this give us pause simply b/c they are probably people that shouldn't rent others homes. Nothing we or the owners can do will be enough to make them happy. I think the biggest issue I have with her review is that she never once mentioned anything during her stay. IF you don't mention that something is wrong or not up to par, we simply cannot do anything but respond to the review. Our company goes out of our way to make sure the properties left in our care are clean and comfortable. Like all of you we rent vacation homes too and the one thing that stops me at the door when first walking in to a property is the cleanliness. We had just done a deeper clean in the condo, there was no layer of dust on anything and if there was in fact body hair in any bathroom I have to presume it belonged to them. Why wouldn't you call if it wasn't satisfactory? I'd suggest to anyone reading this review would be to read the other glowing reviews about the property. We pride ourselves on giving you a clean space. Its simply what we do.

Verified traveler

Property was adequate but not outstanding. Kitchen and four bedrooms were well-appointed.
Our group of eight was comfortable at this rental: The location was great, and the unit was easily accessible and had close parking for our two cars, one in a garage. We used the outdoor grill on a couple of occasions, and four of us used the hot tub several times. All in all, we enjoyed our stay (because we were willing to overlook some of the deficiencies). For starters, the carpet was badly in need of cleaning, and some of the area rugs/mats were well-worn as well. I felt it was wise to photograph the carpets in case we might be asked to prove that we were not the one who got them so dirty. On a good day, the ice maker might actually provide sufficient ice for our group, but all days were not good. Some days we had very little ice. Of the six television sets in the unit, we managed to get a program on one of them. The screen door to the patio was cheap and flimsy- very difficult to open and close. Final grade: B

Response from VrboOwner on Mar 23, 2020
Thank you kindly for writing a review. We appreciate the time it takes. I apologize for any issues you had in the unit. You never mentioned issues with the screen door, tv's or ice maker and so we couldn't help you. We are here to assist when needed! The television situation has changed as Spectrum the main provider for most of the condos in Mt. CB moved to digital equipment and with that they created a bit of havoc. You had 3 working tvs and we are still awaiting 3 more cable boxes to complete the unit. We did leave instructions in the binder on how those worked and I apologize that you had issue. The ice machine should have provided adequate ice unless everyone went to the ice machine at the same time. It is a standard fridge/freezer and when you do have groups of 10 in there the ice machine can't quite keep up. The screen doors while not the beefiest work well but sound like they could use a bit of oil. In regard to the carpet. They are stained and we did just have them cleaned. The carpet while soft and comfortable has not worn well with the traffic in the condo. Its one of the reasons we have a shoes off policy that isn't always followed. We are in contact with the owner to replace it as you are correct, it doesn't look spectacular. The condo is a great place to call home while you are in Crested Butte and I appreciate your thoughts.

the place is exactly like the pictures. the walk to the ski lift is similar to a walk from the back of the parking lot. Really appreciated bathrooms for each room, as well as the well decorated rooms. Kitchen very well stocked, from crockpot to mixers. view is amazing. Fire was perfect during snow storm. The Chevy Tahoe we rented would have fit in the garage with about an inch on either side, but we decided it was too close to risk it, with it being the last spot on the left, but this was not an issue at all.

Comfy & well equiped
We had 10 adults + a baby so it was cozy but very comfortable. The lounge/dining area is a bit tight for this number but it did work. The shared outdoor spa was great - fabulous views of the mountain and a great place to meet the other residents over a beer/wine. We had some interesting discussions about the presidential election process - very different to ours in Australia. It's an easy, flat walk to the lifts although you probably want to store your skis at the base and get a locker so you can wear normal boots on the walk. Shay at Alpine Rentals was great to deal with - everything worked as advertised. The separate wifi in the condo was much better than the shared one - Shay came over to make sure that was working for us without us having to ask.
