Great house, pictures don’t do it justice. We absolutely loved every second of our stay. The house was immaculate and clean. The view was great and patio was wonderful. My only suggestions would be two twin beds in one of the guest rooms. Other than that, it was perfect!!!

Very clean condo with absolutely beautiful views! Plenty of towels and cleaning supplies, comfy beds. Check in and out process was super easy! Not to big of a deal but I didn’t realize there was not a TV in one of the queen bedrooms and no natural light coming in that room either, window was covered with black paper.

Overall satisfied:
Improvements
Master bed mattress was great (memory foam).
The other two rooms need new mattresses.
The blender is broken, we reported it.
The living room rug is shedding badly.
I cleaned the vacuum cleaner canister but it needs a new filter.
We had maintenance change one of the smoke detector batteries, unkinked the dryer exhaust hose and reset the BR2 TV box.
We called maintenance three times to fix the rec center stove top by the pool but they never were able to resolve.

Thank you for your review, we are happy you enjoyed your stay in the mountains. Thank you for letting us know about the issues you experienced, we will have them looked into and let the homeowner know about the mattress' in the guest rooms. We apologize for the issue with the clubhouse stove, the POA was notified and reported they found no issues. We will reach out to them again.
I could have stayed forever! The home is gorgeous and has everything you could possible need. Great pools and fitness centers. Great location! Foscoe Sales and Rental agency has all the details worked out if you arrive late in the evening like we did. Check in and check out is easy and convenient. We were there for a nice snow storm the night before check out which made getting down the mountain difficult at checkout time however communication was excellent and we were able to extend our stay by one day. I'll be back!
