Disappointing
Traveller Type: Family with Young Children
  : The condo was really clean and the loft area with 4 beds was very spacious. There was a keypad lock which was nice.
  : The condo was a distance off of the parking lot and we were only allowed one car. We had to climb 3 flights of stairs outside and there were plenty more stairs once you got inside. I would NOT recommend this place for families with elders, children or anyone that has difficulty with mobility. Making multiple trips with luggage and ski equipment in the snow, ice and stairs was not a pleasant way to start or end our weekend. The TV in the master did not work. You have to DRIVE to the pool and facilities, and they were dirty. Most frustrating is that the ad was NOT transparent to notify you of this before you arrived. For $750 for two nights, we expected much more.

Very Good
Traveller Type:
  : nice family sized condo
  : The pools, hot tubs , pool table were all in separate buildings. The two rooms were lofts so the lower room could be viewed by the upper room. Not as private as I expected.

Wonderful

Good

  : The location was excellent and easy access to restaurants, hiking, etc
  : There was a loft with a bed and there was no fan and no air conditioning and it was really hot up there at night.

Fair

  : Electronic access code was nice. Small deck off the back, with access to a walking path, with native flowers amongst the vegitation. Upstairs seemed renovated, and upper bedrooms were nice.
  : Way too many steps down, then back up inside the condo, which took multiple trips back & forth, up and down, from a long distance away in the lot. Parking area is far away, and is not visible from the condo.The advertisement on Booking.com billed it as a house, which we would have expected to have more than adequate parking, while it is actually a condo, and only 1 vehicle is allowed; need to dig deep into the numerous rules & regs that come after booking to figure that out! We had reserved the unit for 5 adults and 1 child for a birthday weekend trip with off-roading planned. It would have been difficult at best to get there in only1 vehicle, so we had to leave 1/2 of our family home as our 2nd vehicle w/trailer with OHVs was discouraged and wouldn't fit in the lot, and not worth having stolen from another lot. The condo was only used by 3 family members as a result.Downstairs kitchen and living room had old finishes and felt dirty, though it probably wasn't. TV worked in that location, but the conditions were undesirable to sit in. Microwave was dirty, and old condiments from prior guests were in the refrigerator. Shower drain upstairs was clogged, and kitchen sink drain smelled.Upstairs TV had no service, and DVD player was not connected to TV, so it wss impossible to watch anything for basic entertainment while in the nicer upstairs area. WiFi strength was very poor, couldn't send simple photos while on it. The basic number controls for the Microwave didn't work.Bedding materials seemed quite old, and pillows were stained, though pillowcases were in place to help hide that detail. Not sure what the added fee for cleaning was for, as you have to take your own trash out, and basic cleaning items noted above were deficient.Location is remote from the town center, and the condo location, down in the pit, and distant parking, made it much more difficult to easily venture down to the city to eat.

Pleasant

  : There was no breakfast. To many steps. To far up the mountain. I used to live on wilderness road. There was absolutely no view from deck. But over all we had a good time. Really dirty behind bedside desk closest to the window in master bedroom.
  : Everything I just wrote above.

Good

  : The location and the comfortable beds
  : I cleaned the property and the house keeper lied and said it was left in rough shape and that the dish washer door was broken which was a lie a had did dishes the night before and it worked just fine
