Best location

Best ski in/ski out location! 2 houses up on the mountain from the lodge- so easily accessible from Lower Flying Mile (green slope) Cute and clean, and recently UPDATED! The picture on the listing are not accurate- the unit has been refurbished and updated. Perfect for a family/group of 4. Again, location is EVERYTHING- we would take breaks thru the day by just skiing right to our door. Only downfall is there is NOT a washer/dryer in the unit- so bring a hairdryer for quick drying of gloves/hats/etc on your breaks.We willl be back! Thank you!!!

Jan 2024 skiing trip . Huge snow fall

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I have stayed in this unit multiple times throughout the years. The unit inside is nothing special. But it's usually clean and comfortable. The special thing about this unit is where it's at. I do wish they would get a new couch and a new bed for the master bedroom. They have been there for over 20 years. And please add a tv to the master bedroom. That would be great. Over all . I like the unit .
Response from VrboOwner on Feb 27, 2024
The location of this unit is amazing for skiing. We will be sure to mention your suggestions to the homeowners. We would also welcome an email addressing the service from the rental manager rating so we can improve our service. We hope you will continue to allow us to provide your vacation lodging.

4/10 Poor

Not up to expectations. Avoid.

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cabin was smaller than advertised and much smaller than the ones we usually rent at Slopside. The heater wasn’t working in the living room and one of the bedrooms and we were out of heat two nights in a row while it was 20c outside. Not worth the price we paid for.

Can’t get any closer to the slopes. Amazing time!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Had a wonderful time at the mountain. This location was definitely worth it. Was thinking of staying at the top of Oma’s meadow, but was very happy we chose this location instead. Close enough to the lodge to walk without a problem. Easy to get to thanks to the directions we received in my check in package. Super easy check in and out, overall great experience. Finding out it was a family run organization made me happy knowing I could help a local business. The place was clean and comfortable. We brought our own cookware and dishes not knowing if they had enough. Turns out we could have left all that at home. The place was fully stocked throughout. Only drawback was there isn’t a mud room for changing out of wet gear. We made due with a tarp and towels by the front door not a real problem. Would definitely recommend to friends and family. Actually already recommended to a stranger I met on the lifts. Will be back again.

A+++ Location

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We couldn't have had a better ski in/out experience, especially getting a snowfall the morning after arrival....perfect timing! My boys had a great time on the slopes while I had to work. Be prepared to walk down some steepish steps to get to the place and parking is a little tight. The fridge was run down and could definitely be updated, and the kitchen could use some oven mitts, a pasta strainer and dish drying rack. Be prepared that there are no laundry facilities. All in all it was a great time and we loved this little duplex!

Amazing location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This rental was perfect. It was cozy, warm and right on the slopes. It was super easy to drop off my kids to take a break and watch some tv while I hit some of the bigger and harder runs.The only issue was we arrived after dark and the door wasn't marked so it was hard to find, especially with a new key that wasn't worn in and didn't easily open the door on the first few tries. They did bring over another key the next day which wasn't a problem.The kitchen is big enough to cook full meals so we didn't have to go out for dinner or worry about waiting in line for lunch. We'll totally be back and I'm looking forward to the next trip

Spring break at Slopesider

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rented the Slopesider for a short ski vacation over spring break. The rental was small for a family of 4 but had all of the amenities shown in the listing. Access to the slopes couldn't get any better and the views were amazing. Bring an extra fan or noise machine because if you happen to rent when the upstairs is occupied, you can hear every step and creak in the floors overhead. Beds were comfy, water was hot and shopping was close by.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: What a fantastic and cozy place to stay for a bit of skiing. The location on the slopes is extraordinary. The door leading to the upstairs needs a secure lock as that made me feel uncomfortable. That is the only negative aspect of the rental.

SS 518B

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great place to stay, literally walk out the front door and you are on the slopes. The only downfall is we didn’t know the house is a share/split unit. A is on top and B on the bottom. We were on the bottom and the people above us were semi noisy so you hear a lot of walking and other noises coming from above. Parking is an issue as well, we only had 1 vehicle and never had a spot...had to park across the road. Besides these minor issues, the unit is perfect...you can’t ask for a better place to be location wise to the slopes, the lodge and it’s an easy exit back to the main highway. I highly suggest the slope side rentals for anyone wanting a true on the slope experience!

Fun Ski Trip

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Location is definitely the key word here! The steps from the parking lot were dangerous and icy most of our stay. The cabin itself has not been updated in quite some time. Despite those things, we LOVED the location and were happy to trade those things for the ability to ski in and ski out, as well as how close it was to the actual lodge. We just climbed up and down without having to park. We would stay there again!

Amazing location, cozy rental

Everything was wonderful during our stay. The kitchen wasn't the cleanest (food stained on foil stove and on foil in oven and some missed spots of caked on food on countertops), but otherwise very clean. Misrepresented washer/dryer as in unit, but a quick response when asked where to access the w/d. Could definitely use some updating in terms of furniture/bathrooms, but would stay again for sure!

Family Fun

This slopeside duplex was a perfect place for me to bring my children (15 yrs-22 yrs). My kids and I loved the fact that we could step out the door into our skis then get right on the slope. It was the perfect size for a party of 6. I wish the property managers, RRR, would send a reminder email regarding the property address and check in process. Their check in process of picking up the keys from the office is inconvenient and antiquated. Most places use door keypads or key boxes these days.

Response from VrboOwner on Dec 29, 2020
We are glad to hear your family enjoyed their stay. We do send guest an arrival instruction/reminder email the week of their arrival with all check in details. We ask guest to check their spam folder as sometimes it does end up there. We do require guest to come to our office to check in and pick up keys and parking passes as well as go over maps and driving and garbage disposal directions in person as they can be confusing. This also allows us to be sure guest do check in and ensure that the guest checking in is the guest that reserved the unit.
