Great location, some irritants
Let me start by simply saying that for skiers, the location is hard to beat. While not ski-in/ski-out, the bunny hill is across the street so you simply need to put on your skis and ski down to the new gondola to the summit.
The main irritant was the whole arrival process. Since there is no parking on the premise (we knew about it, so no surprise there), you need to drive to the office to get the key; drive to the unit to unload (more on that later); drive back to the office to leave your car; then take the free Steamboat shuttle back to nearby the unit. While we were totally aware that there was no parking, what we did not know is how much of an ordeal unloading would be: not only is there really nowhere to park (street parking is, not surprisingly taken by those visiting the resort), there wasn't really any space to even stop for 10 minutes to unload our stuff (street is too narrow to double-park with flashers on). Our only option was to drive up the alleyway, put on flashers, and unload as fast as possible.. which did preclude a very angry elderly couple from yelling at us for being in an unofficial spot (to be clear, they were technically right, but there are just no other options, and the instructions mention nothing about it).
Arrival process aside, the unit was very much to our liking. Not everything is updated, but things were all functional and we enjoyed our stay.
