Really comfortable home

I thought this home just had a really nice warm and comfortable feeling from the moment we walked in. The kitchen is really cute and well stocked. The beds were comfy and there were plenty of extra blankets. I would happily come back again!

Perfect for our purposes

Clean, cute little apartment. Kitchen was great, everything we needed to cook all our meals. Comfortable beds. With no washer and dryer, it would have been nice to have 2 sets of towels for 4 nights, especially in the kitchen but we survived. They have a boot dryer, a couple fans and a full spice rack which were nice additions.

Close to skiing but not walking

Nice rooms with updated furniture. Only improvement would be handles on the bathroom vanities, better water pressure in the showers and floor molding at the entry to the living room and kitchen be thinner so you don't stub your feet. Nice big tv and appliances! Probably 4 blocks to ski hill.

Awesome and easy with last minute arrangements

Decided at the last minute to come up for a 3 days of skiing with my 2 sons. Booked on a Monday and arrived Tuesday. Check-in was super simple. Close to the hill so we could wake up in the morning, roll out of bed and hit the slopes. The house was clean and had everything we needed for a great trip. Kitchen applinces were close to new. Thank you so much

Perfect spot for Big Powderhorn skiing!

We had a fantastic 5 night stay at this lovely condo. Amanda was an incredibly accommodating hostess, communicating regularly and super responsive. Our family of 4 skied at Big Powderhorn for 3 days and really enjoyed the proximity of this place. Highly recommend for other families/travelers!
