Having stayed the previous part of our trip in a condo that was "underwhelming" what a pleasant surprise it was to check into Gregg and Lindy's place. The entire condo had a new feel to it, and it was tastefully decorated. The brand new kitchen has nice countertops, maple cabinetry and stainless appliances. The kitchen was well stocked in terms of pots/pans/dishes and utensils and there were even some condiments in the fridge. The living room was very comfortable, we watched the Olympics in HD on the big screen TV. There is a ceiling fan to keep you cool on summer days. The beds in both rooms were very comfortable, and all the linens and towels had the look and feeling you would get at a higher end property. The masterpiece has to be the master bath, which has unique flooring and a fantastic shower. I really felt like I was staying at a hotel in the master suite. There was ample storage and dresser space in both rooms, good lighting, and night tables on both sides of the bed, with lamps. Everything was clean and orderly and had a newer appearance to it.
There is a sliding glass door in both the living room, and the master bedroom, to let in Fresh air. Both lead out to a nice outdoor deck. There is a brand new stainless BBQ that we used to make dinner. There is a view of the mountain from the deck. One caveat- I tried sleeping with the glass door open, but there is some noise from the road (both in evening and morning). You don't hear the noise with the door closed.
It was also helpful to have the local literature handy, in terms of things to do, take out food etc. A big plus was that the unit was very quiet. It is on the second floor, so you will not hear anyone above you, and honestly most of the time it was very quiet. I slept extremely well, with no disruptions from noisy neighbors or thin walls. Another plus was the garage, not only to keep our car, but also Gregg left a couple bikes there, and I was happy to ride the bike along the Yampa River trail.
In terms of location, the unit is right on the bus route, and then a short drive to the Safeway and other stores. It is under 3 miles to the town. I was able to walk from the unit to some of the local walking trails, and also you can bike to the Yampa River trail without ever going on a busy road. The other people at the condo complex we met were certainly friendly, and we loved Steamboat Springs as a place to visit! Would definitely stay again.
