We were they for an annual weekend cycling event - 4th time at Shanty Ck. This was our favorite room of the 4. Super convenient that we could park within steps of the unit and the balcony over looking the valley was lush and peaceful. Place was very clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The hosts were e terrific when we needed a slightly later checkout too.

Up north getaway

This property is amazing, has a full kitchen which we loved. Has a main room that has one double bed and a sleeper sofa. An awesome balcony to sit outside, only downfall on that was the cushions were wet. Other than that truly enjoyed our trip and looking forward to staying there again

Great weekend

The property is in a great, central location. Exactly as advertised. It has a nice balcony overlooking the sledding hill. Bed was very comfortable and plenty of firewood for the fireplace. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Average

Balcony was unusable, as the cushions had already been removed from the chairs and there were no plastic or other sort of chair that could be used. Head board to the bed was broken and the bathroom is really small. There were odd looking fabric screens hiding two side doors into other units. The doors were not lockable from the room, but I suspect residents from other adjacent units could unlock it and enter. Otherwise, it wasn’t bad, nor was it impressive.

Beautiful Scenic Vista from the Balcony

The condo was lovely! The view from the balcony was stunning! Love that it had a full-size fridge, dishwasher, and 12-cup coffee maker. The only thing the condo lacked was a chest of drawers, so we could've unpacked our suitcases in the week that we stayed. Would definitely stay again.
