Great and near town

We really liked that there was an outdoor closet for our ski gear, that we had a washer and dryer and kitchen, so we could take care of everything necessary. I brought my two kids for SKI trip and stayed a few days. We had a great time. The place was very clean and I appreciate no shoes in the house rule like we do at home..

This rental was fabulous. Beautifully decorated, it felt very elevated and the attention to detail was wonderful. Check in was very smooth, and straight forward. Kitchen had k-cups for the coffee maker, a variety of sugars, and some of the little cream packets. Although the pans were not quite non-stick anymore, there were plenty, and the kitchen was well stocked with all the common kitchen tools/utensils.

Wow! Just wow!

This place is amazing. I cannot believe how clean and organized it is. It’s cleaner than a really nice hotel. The decor is cute, classic and fun. The property is also clean and well kept. It’s was really quiet too, we couldn’t hear the neighbors at all, and the parking lot was busy so we know most the condos were occupied. This is definitely one to save and book again for weekend get away. We loved it so much, felt just like home!!
