The condo is in a multi-unit building steps below Bolton Valley's main ski lodge, and one mile up the road from The Ponds wedding and event facilities. NOTE: we are not affiliated with BV resort; we are in an independently-owned condo association.
SKIING AND HIKING TRAILS are just out the back door; The Quad and other ski lifts just out the front door. But if you prefer to stay inside and enjoy the view from the picture windows, you can hunker down in the cozy living room, where you'll find some cable TV, video/DVD, books, internet, and board games. It is in a quiet part of the resort if you just want to meditate or watch birds in summer; leaves change in fall; or snow piling up to the window. Who knows, a moose might even walk by.
(PLEASE NOTE: Barbecue and grilling near the building are not allowed. No charcoal grills allowed on site. Our place is not suitable for children under 4 years old, due to small game parts, cleaning supplies, bunk beds, two gas fireplaces, etc.. Pets are also not allowed in our unit, sorry!)
With all reservation rquests, you will be asked to complete a compliance form before contactless check-in. Please do not check in if you have symptoms like fever, fatigue, short breath, flu. We clean thoroughly between guests and leave the unit empty for 2 days between guests.
