The place overall was extremely nice. We only ate out once, so it was great that the kitchen was well stocked with commonly used items. For example, there was sugar, flour, spices, soy sauce, vinegar, peanut butter, jelly, and the list just goes on and on. The beds were all comfortable and the linen and towels were a nice quality. Plenty of extra towels. Lots of space for people to spread out. One of the shower mechanisms was broken, but when we mentioned it there was a plumber out the next day.
We were requested not to walk around in our shoes and ski boots, and they had great places for storing everything as you entered. Also, good storage for skis and snow boards in the garage. There is an apartment below ours, but there were not any noise issues that we noticed.
A few things to be aware of:
- the ski in/ski out was easy enough, but I would not have a beginner do it. We were all intermediate skiers and did not have any problems with it. Getting out is easy enough. Climb a 3 foot snow berm, then ski down to a tunnel that puts you at both the gondola and the orange bubble lift. Getting back is also easy once you learn the runs that you need, and then climb down the 3 foot berm. We had plenty of snow, so no issue, but I could see the lack of snow making this a problem. The alternative is that you can also walk to/from the base in 4-5 minutes, but on the road.
- there is major construction uphill and downhill of the unit, so during the week there is lots of noise starting at 7:30am.
- the dishwasher did a minimal job, so we cleaned the dishes fairly well before putting them into the dishwasher.
- the bunk beds are a nice touch for kids, but I would not have adults stay in them. The lower one is a bit close to the upper one. Adults would be banging their heads.
We really enjoyed the place and would rent it again.
