We used the indoor pool, and hotel cafe right in our condo area, sledded directly behind the condo unit on fresh powder with all 3 kids, and drove to nearby resort at cedar river to rent gear and ski. Condo layout was perfect for our 2 adult 3 kid family, especially easy loading/unloading from car to door for this unit. Owners responded quickly to a couple questions even during the main holiday stretch. Great all in all. ##### John B.

We selected this particular property among others on VRBO mostly based on the bedroom setup (including TV’s in all rooms) and the living area configuration. Walk in shower in the master was also a plus. The unit was as described on the website and well stocked with essentials. If returning to Shanty Creek again, we’d stay here again. ##### Rodney F.
