The positives: the unit was obviously recently refurbished and everything looks fresh. The views outside the window were pleasant and the large screen TV and sound bar are great. The gas fireplace creates a cozy feel. The complex itself is quiet. Parking near the unit was easy. Internet connection was good. The owner was responsive when we contacted him about the power failure.
The negatives: The location is not "steps from the lift." It is a long walk to the cabriolet - especially if you're wearing ski boots. That said, the Canyon Villages Connect app was great and the free shuttle service works well. The unit is not set up well for skiers and it is a stretch to call it "luxury." There is no place to put wet gear, helmets, etc. Other than a couple of plastic boot trays, there is no ski locker or mud room area, so you step right onto the hardwood floors. We had to move things around to find room to stow the food we had brought. There was no empty space left for that purpose. The kitchen is poorly equipped: no toaster, no kettle for boiling water, no drying rack and no oven mitts/pot holders. There are no lamps throughout, so you must use overhead lighting constantly. There are no bedside tables. I knew that going in, but I thought it would be easier to work around than it was. There is nothing in the bedroom except a bed. There is no chest of drawers and the storage space for two people there for a week to ski is limited. We had to use a bathroom drawer to stow clothing. The lack of carpeting in the bedroom means cold floors to step on, particularly since the windows are not well sealed and cold air seeps in. The bed is fairly comfortable, although squeaky. It does transmit movement rather than remain stable when one person shifts position. The noise from the apartment above is noticeable. We could hear every step they took - which at times seemed like tramping rather than a normal walk. This was particularly bothersome when it occurred at 5:30 am. The power went off for two hours on our last night. Fortunately, we had head lamps with us because there was no flashlight or other form of emergency lighting. Without those, we would have been in the pitch dark for two hours. A final note: it appears that the owner has a cat. I did not see cat hair, but if you are allergic, you might want to think twice about staying here. We plan to return to Park City, but will not stay here when we do.
