Nice location - No View

This condo was located close to everything you need. The ski resort was lovely and plenty of hiking near by. Easy check in and out. But the only view from the windows are the other condos, so keep the blinds closed.

Great stay!

Loved this place. Spent five nights here. Super comfy, clean and located so close to the slopes. This home is packed with games to waste away some time. The streaming TV worked great. I will stay again when I return if the unit is open.

cozy place to stay

It’s close to the resort, a coffee shop and just a wonderful neighborhood to walk around. It has he basics of what you’d need. The blinds are a bit funky to work, and the curtains are sheer. It would have been nice to have non-sheer curtains. But, it isn’t a busy neighborhood so you aren’t seeing a ton of people. Great selection of board games too!

Remington, thank you for your review. While we're glad to hear that you enjoyed the proximity to the resort, coffee shop, and delightful neighborhood, we understand that the blinds and sheer curtains may have posed a challenge. We apologize for any difficulty you encountered with the functionality of the blinds and the desire for non-sheer curtains. Your feedback is valuable, and we'll take it into consideration for future improvements. Our aim is always to provide a comfortable and enjoyable experience, and we appreciate your recommendations. We look forward to hosting you again!

As advertised

Walking distance to the chair, reasonable bed, couch is not as pictured it’s longer and sleep able. The path along the building to the entrance is difficult to navigate (I’m PNW local I get snow) and needs to be cleared to allow access to the front door.

Great location

This was a great location for us as a wknd getaway/downtime. Lots of games and puzzles for those who wanted to stay in. The ski slopes are nearby, a 2 min drive and the area was quiet. One street away from turn off for Virgin Falls trail - very icy right now, use cleats. The condo was clean and inviting. The couch may be a little worn, it leaned forward when we reached forward while working on puzzles from our makeshift table with stools and wood planks. Bedding was crisp and clean, showerhead had good pressure, plenty of extras from blankets, pillows and kitchen/household gadgets and pet friendly.

Nice place, poor Vacasa service

The place was cute, great location, and allowed dogs which was awesome. Vacasa never sent us the check in instructions, we arrived on time for check in at 4 and then spent 45mins calling every Vacasa number we were given and that we could find online and waited on hold with no indication anyone was ever going to answer. Finally someone did and sent the info, 45mins later, so that was very lame. The walkway wasn’t shoveled and clearly hadn’t been for a long time and we couldn’t find the way in. There were crumbs all over the couch. The internet didn’t work which meant the TV didnt work either. We feel like we got half of the stay we were hoping for out of our night there.

Hello Allison, thank you for your valuable feedback! We deeply apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced while staying with us. Your feedback is crucial to us, and we have shared your comments with our local manager, who will collaborate with the homeowner to make any necessary updates.

Dirty and run down

Filthy toilet with literal poo smudges on the seat and urine splashes on underside. Dirty counters not wiped down and floors were obviously not vacuumed or swept. Old uncomfortable pillows. Mattress was okay but quilt needed a thorough wash. Tub drain has still not been fixed as other reviewers noted, it does not drain well so you stand in dirty water and forget about another shower or bath, the tub is gross after not draining well. It was also very slippery and dangerous. Would not recommend this place without a new cleaner and some fixes.

Nice Rental But A Few Problems

Overall, this is a nice place to stay. It is very close to the ski lifts, so if you are renting a place to stay while skiing, it is very convenient. It was great for us (a couple), but would be a bit crowded for more than 2. The unit is a bit old, and there were scratches on several doors, apparently from a dog. When we arrived, there was a large snow berm blocking access to the front door, that we had to climb over to get inside. I think this would have been a problem for anyone with mobility issues. As it had not snowed in several days, this is something that should have been addressed prior to our arrival. Someone showed up late that night and shoveled a path over the snow berm. I didn’t see a shovel anywhere that we might have used. The unit has a fire place, but you need to bring your own wood, kindling and fire starter supplies. There was no corkscrew, which most rental units typically supply. Finally, a burned out light in the bedroom meant that it was very dim in that room.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay overall and found the location convenient for skiing. However, we apologize for the inconvenience caused by the snow berm blocking the front door upon your arrival. We should have addressed this issue prior to your arrival, and we will make sure to do so in the future. We also understand your frustration with the lack of necessary supplies, such as a corkscrew and fire starter supplies, as well as the burned-out light in the bedroom. We will ensure that these items are provided in the future to make your stay more comfortable. We appreciate your feedback and will use it to improve our services for future guests. We hope to have the opportunity to better serve you in the future.
