The house was very close to town; however, had I known that it was not on a bus route, I would not have rented this house, since an 81 year old was with me. It is within walking distance to town if you are fit and if you don't mind the snow and ice. Walking down the hill to the village in winter is treacherous, and we did not have a vehicle. The driveway was completely iced over and down a hill to the house, so attempting to drive down to the house would be foolhardy for anyone without 4WD and maybe even with it. The house is definitely not suitable for anyone with mobility problems, but if this is not an issue for your party, it is a good location. I was able to walk to the slopes and ski to the lift, so that was nice. The house was spacious, clean, and well-equipped. All was well until the heat quit the 4th day of our stay. It was not able to be repaired, and Berkshire Hathaway moved us to a beautiful condo in Lionshead Center. John was wonderful to us and very helpful in this process.
