We loved our stay here. The best part was being so close to the slopes we could literally get on our boards and glide straight to the lifts. Awesome. The house is well equipped and comfortable. Nice fireplace, 3 FULL bathrooms which was great and the bedrooms were small but comfy. I would say the one improvement could be the living space. A nicer, cozier couch and some big comfy chairs would really have been nice, but other than that, it was the best. Even the views from below and on the deck were awesome. Close to the village. Nice people at check in as well. Easy and stress free.

wonderful trip

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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 had a great stay in unit 36. The location is great and the home is beautiful and well kept. We had everything we needed. The only improvement I found is that the living room carpet could use a thorough cleaning. The vacuum does not pick up.Otherwise, all was good. The rental staff were great and attentive.Communication through email doesn't seem to be a priority.

Exceeded our expectations!

We absolutely loved our time at the townhouse! The location and proximity to the slopes could not have been more perfect. Family members were able to walk to the chair lifts for mountain biking. The swimming pool was only steps away from the unit as well as the barbecue area. Everyone in our party really enjoyed the house, the washer and dryer was an amazing addition and the kitchen was completely equipped. you could walk in and aside from your clothes, no this house would have everything that you would need. If you do not feel like cooking all of the fast food restaurants are only five minutes away straight down the hill. We will definitely be back and look forward to renting both town houses for a family reunion next year.

Beautiful property

This is a beautiful unit on the back of the complex with view of the Forrest and ski slopes. It is a ten minute walk to the Snow Summit entrance. The appliances are top notch and the heating is great. The previous reviews are correct that it is ridiculous to only have seating for four in the living room for a property that sleeps eight. The worst thing was that the cooking utensils were horrible. No large frying pan or cookie sheet, poor quality stuff that was there. We stayed five days and cooked three meals a day. A hundred dollars set of cookware from Costco would have made a huge difference. At least warn the renters to bring their own pots and pans if the owner will not provide them. Also, the property had exactly one wine glass. A nice one, but just one.

No Air Conditioning

Condos with no A/C. It was 90+ degrees in condo every afternoon. Furniture is beat down and uncomfortable. dishes were dirty, carpet was filthy, patio and deck were very dirty. only redeeming quality is location adjacent to snow summit.
