What a wonderfully spacious condo. It was big enough and slept 5 adults very comfortably. It is a true ski in and ski out condo. The convenience to the slopes and to the ski lockers can’t be beat. We have stayed in many Zephyr condos over the last 10 years and this is one of the nicest and most convenient. The cons—there really is no view from inside the condo. There is a big wall on the balcony and if you are short (like me), you can’t see ver much over the wall to enjoy the view. There is no privately run shuttle service from Zephyr as advertised. They used to have one but the HOA decided several years ago to discontinue the service. This made it really really hard for us to get groceries from Safeway. We had to take suitcases to the store and pack them up, carry them through the snow and wait for the black line bus to take us to and from the store. There is no Uber or Lyft services. Uber and Lyft apps indicate that there is service but there is no service. Maybe a better option for us next time is to rent a car.
We needed some measuring cups and there were none to be found and we could never get the fireplace to work besides just a very small flicker. It would have been nice to have some hot tub towels or robes to use for the hot tub and there were only 5 towels total for our entire trip. It wasn’t a big problem, but could have been better with a few more towels or some extra towels for the hot tub.
The owner was very responsive to every email I sent and offered suggestions. We lost power for a few hours one night (the entire village lost power) and this caused us to not have hot water for a day, but it was restored and we were able to enjoy a hot shower before we left.
Our biggest complaint is not about the condo-we would for sure stay here again, but it was the village itself. Many restaurants were closed or closed early without any notice. Websites for these businesses didn’t indicate they were closed. It was super frustrating as we had planned our meals and eating out was part of our plan. If you plan to rent skis, you must reserve them ahead of time. We didn’t do this and most ski rental places were out of skis.
All in all, we had a great trip and loved this condo. Highly recommend!!
