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.

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.

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.

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.

Cute and convenient
The property is immaculate and comfortable. It's location is very convenient. The only suggestion that I have is that the lights in the bedroom could be brighter, but that tends to be an issue with all bookings.

It was a nice place to stay at, very accessible, cute home decor. Some dislikes: Wi-Fi would not work, tv would not work because of the Wi-Fi, could use darker shades for the summer months, dishwasher would not open.

I had many issues with trying to communicate with the "owner" but once I actually got to the place, it was perfectly fine. We enjoyed our weekend and had no problems.

I did not like the fact there were no privacy blinds in the living room. It was very unnerving.
overall the place was nice. But, i did not like the fact i felt watched by the neighbors and there were no blinds to close. I won't choose this place again, unless that is remedied. Very simple process of coming and going. thank you. and, a nice location to avoid having to drive. very walkable.

Beautiful location within walking distance to chair lifts.
Property did not smell clean. Kitchen utensils had caked on food and very unclean. No privacy because of large sliding glass door was uncovered, leaving main room, kitchen easily invaded by lookers. Felt unsafe. Blinds or curtains are an urgent need to secure property and provide appropriate privacy. Limited instructions for remote controls/tv system. Fireplace advertised, but no kindling nor prefab log so fireplace not actually usable.
