great location
The location definitely qualifies as ski-in, ski-out one can ski off the trail under the Eagle Lift to the entrance by the pool. The indoor heated garage was also appreciated and easy to unload baggage to the room. Your room key opens the garage door. The kitchen had all the necessary items including a coffee maker, coffee filters, dishwasher soap, pots, pans, etc. We had a car and drove to town easily in 5 minutes. Alternatively, one can go to the village or town using the shuttle buses stop at Juniper Springs Resort which is a short walk.
A few other comments on the location. I prefer staying around Eagle Lodge where this housing was located as the altitude is lower than Main Lodge permitting better sleep for those who need to acclimate to the altitude. Ski school requires thought if you plan to enroll children. Only some ski school lessons for children were offered out of Eagle with more group lessons offered out of Canyon Village or Main Lodge. Main lodge is quite far requiring either multiple lifts or two buses (yellow trolley, walk across village to red line) to reach. Canyon Village had appropriate group lessons for our children and was only a minor inconvenience reached by taking the Eagle lift than taking a run to Canyon Village. Then at the end of the lesson at 3 pm, you can take chair 8 ( a slow triple chair) and ski down to the lodging. If you elect to take lessons outside of Eagle Lodge area and also paid for a lift ticket with the day of ski school (tickets are inexpensive if you pay for ski school lessons), you MUST pick up your the lift ticket in advance to ride the lift though to get to Canyon Village of Main Lodge. Remember ski school doesn't start until 10 am. The passes were provided to us when we picked up our rental equipment from Eagle Lodge.
Two areas were suboptimal for our sty. The pull-out bed in the living room was very uncomfortable- I can't recommend that for sleeping unless perhaps a very small person. Secondly, the internet slowed to a crawl in the evening essentially precluding use. We needed to time work related internet activities to avoid the 4-9 pm peak period.
