Good location, close to pedestrian gondola. Clean, lots of extras, appreciated the fact that we had all the kitchen items we needed. Beds are very comfy. Would recommend and will likely book again.

We spent March 8th,9th and 10th at this 2 bedroom condo, well situated (2nd floor facing the hill) near the people mover at Toby Creek. Well maintained, convenient, clean and with much amenities. We had a great time and will return. Skiing was great ( Heli High, Tree time and Side winder glades still had much powder left.

Owner response:Thanks for the feedback and glad you guys had a good time! Look forward to you staying with us again.

We stayed Jan 2-7, 2012. We arrived early, however we still received keys to condo. When we arrived at the condo it was still being cleaned so we dropped off our stuff and went for a tour of the village. When we returned after 4pm it was clean and ready for us. The kitchen had everything you needed as well as a good bbq and deck. Lots of extra blankets and pillows. Lots of towels and built in hairdryers. Nice and close to the people mover up to the hill. Great to take advantage of the pools as well. Close to Pizza/Lounge and store. The living area is kind of an odd shape and small but we made it work for 6 people (2kids) The kitchen and table are a nice size for 6 comfortably. All in all it was a great stay and we enjoyed our time there and will definitely book next year for our ski vacation. Thank you for your hospitality!!

Owner response:Thanks for the feedback, and looking forward to hosting you guys again next year!

Great New Year’s Eve Getaways

It was our first time dealing with rental by owners. After searching around on Google for several hours, we decided to give it a try and phoned the owner. I got hold of the owner easily. I actually found the owner was quite friendly and reasonable to deal with. So the next day, we decided to rent it. We stayed in this unit for several nights. There were two families most of the time (total of 8 people including children) and it was comfortable. To my surprise, the building was quieter than I thought, considering there were many activities in the area. We had great time over there and my kids already asked us to go back next time. I suggest getting to the condo before it gets dark. It was night time when we arrived at the village and it was snowed in (good for skiing). It did take us some extra time finding the unit, especially the parking.

Owner response:Thanks for the feedback Linda! We have included more detailed directions to the unit and parking following your feedback. Listen to your kids and come back soon!

ski weekend 2011

Guest: Steve (Calgary)
Date of Stay: 12/28/11 Review Submitted: 01/01/12

Three of us just spent a couple of nights during the holidays on a ski getaway and truly enjoyed the accomodations. The beds were comfortable, the location to the village gondola and the general store were excellent and the local pizza was satisfying. We highly recommend this unit to families as it can comfortably sleep 5-6. Hope you get the 20 cms fresh powder we got.

Owner response:Thanks for the feedback! We are hoping to get up there soon to enjoy the powder ourselves. The condo does have a total of 4 beds (2 doubles, a queen, and a double Murphy bed), so can sleep up to 8 in the beds.

Was up in September prior to the ski season, but had an awesome time fly fishing the west slopes of the Rockies. The condo has everything and could not be better located on the hill- being close to the lifts, shops, and everything Panoramo has to offer. Cant wait to go back to ski!!!! Especially loved having the massive table to sprawl our stuff out on. You dont think of how great something like that is until you miss it!

Owner response:Thanks for the feedback! Love the fishing there.

Cutty Fishing.

Date of Stay: 09/15/11 Review Submitted: 10/29/11

We stayed at this condo in mid September as a home base for a weekend fishing trip. There was nothing better than coming back to everything we could have wanted, after a day of wading up mountain creeks chasing trout. Everything from the utensils to the linens were top notch, most places will have a Fry pan, A couple of pots and minimal supplies for the kitchen. Not the case here. Everything had duplicates and good quality too. We never noticed any of the noise mentioned in other reviews but we were up and out the door well before sunrise every day. I enjoyed it so much I am trying to book again as soon as I am done writing this review. Cheers Dan

Late Summer Bliss

Guest: Rick and Jackie
Date of Stay: 08/25/11 Review Submitted: 08/28/11

My wife, family and niece just stayed in the condo for a glorious summer week. Weather was perfect, Greywolf is in fabulous shape, and the pools, hiking, and fishing were excellent. Just a note on the construction in 2011: We (as owners) are not advised when any particular work will be taking place. During our stay, there were renovations being done to the building, but we never heard any noise during the mornings or evenings. We were rarely in the condo during the day, which I think is the point of a mountain condo! As far as we know, the renovations will be done for the 2011/2012 ski season, making the complex even more attractive.

Under Construction!

Date of Stay: 08/07/11 Review Submitted: 08/13/11

This condo is spacious and clean as advertised. Panorama is a perfect location for a family vacation!! However, our experience with this rental was not entirely positive. We were not made aware that there was construction on the roof of our condo throughout our rental week. Falling debris made the deck and BBQ unusable and unsafe. The construction noise woke us early each morning. If you are considering renting this summer/fall-please make sure you ask about the construction!

Owner response:Thanks for the feedback! As owners, we are not necessarily made aware of when repairs are planned for the building our condo is in. While in this case we did not know there were any repairs taking place, we will certainly update future renters if we do know repairs are planned. In this particular case, future renters in the summer of 2011 were made aware of potential repair work. In our 4 years of owning this condo, this was our first issue with repair noise. For any future renters, please never hesitate to contact us with any issues and we will do our best to rectify.

My husband, children, grandchildren and a friend just spent an enjoyable week in this condo while visiting Panorama for a family reunion. It met/exceeded all our expectations; clean and well appointed, comfortable beds with deep mattresses (including the murphy bed), full kitchen with all necessary accessories, outdoor grill, plenty of seating, internet, TVs, board games and conveniently located. We were right next to the Gondola which brought you to the Mountain Village and a short walk to tennis, miniature golf, a walking trail, the horse facility and registration for a variety of activities. There was even a grocery store in the same building that was surprisingly affordable and well stocked, including wine and beer, as well as a pizza place. I have already recommended this condo to friends who have expressed interest in visiting Panorama.

We just got home last night from 4 nights in this wonderful condo. The owners have done an excellent job of renovations. Almost everything looks brand new and the condo is tastefully decorated. The kitchen was spotless and very well stocked with plenty of dishes and a wide variety of spices. The owners were very helpful and tried to accommodate our request for a late check-out even though other guests were arriving the same day. This is one of the closest condos in the Lower Village to the Village Gondola. The underground heated parking was a real treat for those of us who are used to getting ready for the long drive home in a cold parking lot. This was my first time skiing at Panorama. As usually happens with pre-Christmas skiing in the mountains, conditions were at times marginal. However, the resort did an excellent job of making use of the snow they had, saving some runs for subsequent days when they anticipated larger crowds. The lifties were incredibly friendly and helpful. The only skiers I could imaging being disappointed would be those who ski exclusively green runs as they would be left with only a few of the iciest runs near the bottom of the mountain.

I spent three nights at this condo in mid September on a Fly Fishing trip and all I can say is WOW. The condo was in great shape and close to everything. The Fly Fishing in the area was second to none. So not only is this a great ski and golf area it's also a great area to fish and in a well kept and up to date Condo. Can't wait to book it again.
