We booked this trip very late - especially for the week between Christmas and New Year's Eve, so accommodation options were very limited.
When browsing on VRBO, we kept passing up this unit to look for other options. I think it was the "blanket" covering the chair in the photo that just seemed off. We thought, "Why would the owner not get a new chair if it's so bad that they have to hide it with a blanket? What else is wrong?"
It turns out that we were. What we thought was a blanket is an actual chair cover and everything about the interior of this unit was very nice. We are used to units in ski towns being very small - even the ones that are expensive relative to this unit. This one was pleasantly spacious. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped, and the walk-in closet by the front entry made keeping all of our winter wear kept out of the way and easy to get to. Usually we get 4 or 5 hooks and everything just gets piled up by the door.
Again, because of late planning, we were unable to get a vehicle that would hold all of us so we used the CME shuttle to get to and from the airport. It was the first time that we've not rented a vehicle available and were forced to rely on the local bus system. I really thought that was going to be a big problem but I found that I actually enjoyed not having to scrape windows, navigate, find parking, etc. We just took the bus everywhere and would do it again. Don't let the location of this unit discourage you.
The walk from the front door to the bus stop for pickup is 425 feet as measured on Google Maps. I thought it was going to be a nightmare with an 8 and 10 year old carrying ski gear, but it was actually just fine. The bus drop off is just a bit farther away, adding maybe another 100 feet to the walk back to the condo. During our stay, the buses picked up every 15 minutes in the morning and afternoon.
Kara, the owner, was great to work with. Communication was smooth and everything was as promised.
I gave this unit 4 out of 5 stars. To be fair, I reserve 5 stars for something that totally blows me away. If forced to be picky, I guess areas for improvement would be 1) enough firewood provided for the duration of our stay (instead of one night), or instructions on how to get some more on our own, and 2) WiFi was pretty much unusable even after rebooting as instructed.
Overall, I would absolutely rent this unit again on a future trip and would recommend to friends.
