Clean, well supplied with tissue, TP and even some white noise machines if you’re a light sleeper. Very close to Nubs, don’t think anything is closer! Lynn was easy to work with and I’d rent again!

Thank you so much for the kind review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the condo and the little extras—we try to make every stay as comfortable as possible. 😊 The location really is hard to beat for Nub’s, and we’re thrilled it made your trip even better. It was a pleasure hosting you! We’d love to have you back—just remind me you’ve stayed before for a returning guest perk 😉

Great place to stay if you are boarding or skiing at Nub's Nob. The host was very responsive great to work with. The unit is literally steps away across the street from Nub's - so you can ski in the am, go have lunch at the unit, and ski well into the evening. I also like the two individual bathrooms for those "special" times you do not want to share with anyone else. We will be back!

Great location, really nice place, and all the amenities made this a terrific place. We have stayed in the area before, and this was by far the best.
Standing in the driveway, we are DIRECTLY across from parking lot of Nubs Nob. Just walked over.
