Dated interior, wouldn’t have passed muster if I took the wife but for guys it was fine. Rec center at complex was just across parking lot and had good spa and sauna. ##### Michael B.

Super convenient location for skiing with our family! Easy ski-in-ski-out location, and the pool/hot tub for after skiing were fantastic!

Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Yssa D., Midland, TX 31 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Oldish condo sufficient Hey! As the other reviewers have stated, this is not a luxury condo, but it does the job. It has all the necessary elements, but everything could certainly be updated. It is ski in and out via a narrow trail from complex to Right-O-Way trail that take you to base of mountain. There will be poling to get you to mountain and back to condo. But the view from condo overlooking the mountain is beautiful!!! The spa is right across from the condominium, so it’s fairly convenient. The shuttle service did ok, but serious plan ahead and leave plenty of time because it always took 30-1hour to aboard. ##### Yssa D. Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Rosemary B., MA and ME 18 Jul 2021 Liked: Check-in, location #### Nice location Easy check in condo could have been updated ##### Rosemary B.
