Spending the Winter Holidays at Sleepy Hollows was by far the most pleasant winter break experience we had in the past few winters!
We come to Sun Peaks for four seasons already, but we previously used some of the hotels in the village for accommodation. And while there was nothing bad with the hotels, renting a cozy house just makes the whole experience even better.
For our family of 2 adults & 2 kids (14 & 8 y.o.), the highlights of staying in the downstairs apartment from Sleepy Hollows include:
• Space perfect for 4 people; we all enjoyed having 2 separate bedrooms and the kids not having to share a couch and having a bit more intimacy
• Although not in a very big space, the very well-equipped kitchen and diversity of available kitchen tools. We were able to cook everything we fancied, which again makes a difference when you spend a lot of energy out in the cold
• Having a Christmas tree in the living room made my younger daughter so much happier due to the atmosphere it creates
• The apartment has its own hot-tub - truly great in these Covid times and while experiencing temperatures around – 30 C
• The ski-boots dryer was a nice-to-have item to have at hand
• The layout of the apartment is very well thought, and while it’s not too big, all the spaces are wisely used; there are many options to hang and store things, which makes it so much easier to dry things out when you come from the slope and find them faster when you go out
• In terms of heating, it was just perfect, although we caught some really cold days (floor heating almost everywhere & the fireplace can top it up)
• The beds have very nice linens, warm & soft – people sensitive to touching textures notice it immediately
• In terms of location - very convenient. To get to the slopes, it’s just 3 min walking up the street, it’s ski-in 100% coming from Cruiser/Blazer area, and mid-distance between the village supermarket and the newer Ohana deli-market near the Fire-station (enjoyable walkable distance)
• Last but not least, Brad is a great host. Because we spent a long time there, he took care that the local support team comes to help with the garbage & recycling stuff (we didn’t have a car to get to the local transfer station ourselves), replenishing the stock for toiletries and towels, daily check for the hot-tub etc. Although he was coordinating the things from away, he was promptly available whenever we had a question or needed something.
Wonderful experience, thank you!
