  We had a wonderful stay at this condominium. It was very spacious with 3 levels, 2 baths and comfortable sleeping for 6-8. We loved the mountain views from every window and there were 2 great flat screen TV's in two separate living areas as well as nice flat tv screens in each bedroom. I really appreciated having free WiFi for my computer. The home had a comfortable fireplace and beautiful wood floors on the main level. The kitchen was fully equipped with all necessary cookware, so we were able to cook dinner a few nights during our stay. The location of the condo was very convenient. It was just a mile from the main lodge and ski lifts where we enjoyed a couple of nice days of skiing. The best feature of this stay was the owner. He was very friendly and helpful. He answered all my questions and checked in on us when we arrived and when we departed. My husband and I had a wonderful stay and we look forward to coming back soon!

  We rented out the Courtney's Mountain Vista for 3 nights over the New Years Eve weekend. From the minute we walked it we were impressed and thrilled with the accommodations. When we first saw the posting, we instantly called Scott and he made the reservation process as easy as possible and was very accommodating. The photos he provided gave us a sneak preview into the place, but what we found when we arrived was even better than the photos. We were only a short walk from the slopes and could ski out after that short walk. Scott just recently installed new flat screen tvs in the living room and bedroom, which were a nice surprise. He had a well stocked kitchen that enabled us to cook every night and not have to order out. Overall, this was an excellent find through craigslist and plan to schedule another trip inthe upcoming months.

  I guess everybody can agree that sometimes we feel like saying: I need a vacation ... I need rest .. I need quiet and to get away from everything for a while !!! We were lucky enough to find this perfect spot in Hidden Valley where all that we needed was under one roof. This townhouse we rented is soo.. "chic", beautiful, warm and it made us feel so welcome from the very first step we set in. You can tell that the owners really love this place, take really good care of it and they made sure the guests have the same experience. Everybody had a great time - the grandparents had their rest, the kids had their fun skiing and playing games and the parents ... well a little bit of everything ... just enough to get relaxed and enjoy the sweet memories you can always have with your dear ones! We want to thank the owners for allowing us to make these sweet memories in this wonderful house they call it home! We hope we can get back again for our next gateaway ... Roxana Chitu & Family

  Owner response: Hello Roxana and Family, We are so glad that you had such a wonderful time at The Courtney's Mountain Vista. We would love to have you back. Thanks for the great review. Sincerely, Scott and Jennifer Courtney
