Tristan M.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Lack of elevator is tough during ski season with equipment. Bus stop is conveniently located, easy to access the base of the mountain. Unit lacks sound barrier from upstairs tenants, easy to hear conversations and ceiling squeaks with foot steps. Unit is updated and clean, the view is great. Would recommend for couples or groups of 3. Bathroom lacks counter space/storage.
Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2025
