The property was wonderful - perfectly set up for our group and extremely clean and well maintained. We loved the entire set up. We enjoyed sitting on the patio with the outdoor fireplace, as well as the easy access to the Village. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. It was one of the best properties that we've ever rented.
Property was clean, a home away from home. Well furnished and in working condition. Expensive. Wish the check out time was later than 10 am. Paid extra for a noon check out
The house is gorgeous, spacious, and (most importantly) CLEAN!! it is picture perfect and in the heart of everything. great spot for family's or large groups of people! I will definitely be staying here again!!

Thank you so much! We are so happy you enjoyed the Villa and we'd love to have you again!
Great house and fantastic location for walk access to South Lake village and gondola. Bathrooms and common areas could use extra hooks and bars for hanging ski items.
Terrific location, steam showers, great bedding, neat place. Only drawback was hearing the next door neighbors walking up / down stairs. That's the hard part about Condos, otherwise it was really great place.

Thank you for the review David, we hope to host you again some time!
The house was beautiful and comfortable. There was plenty of room for all nine of us. We loved the golf carts for rent. It was fun to step out of the house and explore Van Sickle state park right in the backyard. Thanks for a great house for our family vacation.

Thank you so much for the review. We are so happy you enjoyed the Villa and the new golf carts!
We went Memorial Day Weekend for a bachelorette party. The house was clean, well organized & provided ample directions for working various amenities (wi-fi, fireplaces, etc). We had quick communication with the host throughout the stay while we had questions. Location was perfect & well lit at night.

Thank you so much for your review! Your party was great and kept the Villa in great condition! We'd love to have you again!
We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful place! The furnishings and interior decor were incredible. It was the perfect location to celebrate my husband’s 40th birthday with friends. We went hiking on a nearby trail and never once had to drive anywhere for anything. It’s a short walk to the village, and the condos were incredibly quiet, despite it being a fairly busy weekend.

Thank you so much Cheryl, we really appreciate this thoughtful review. We are so happy you enjoyed the Villa and we can't wait to host you again in the future!
This is a beautiful house and we had a lovely stay. Everything is new, the furniture is comfortable. The location is great! Walkable to restaurants and bars. Great to have a garage. Lacking outdoor space, but it's a wonderful excuse to get to the lake! We made a big family dinner.
