Amenities & Shared Spaces

Entertainment

Fire up the air hockey table and let the competition begin. Whether you're rewinding after a day on the slopes or waiting out a mountain snowstorm, there's built-in fun right inside the condo. The wood-burning fireplace sets the mood for cozy evenings, card games, and good conversation.

Kitchen & Dining

The kitchen is well-stocked for everything from slow-cooker mountain stews to post-ski breakfasts. You'll find a coffee maker, blender, crockpot, toaster, full cookware and bakeware, a complete knife block, grilling utensils, and place settings scaled for up to 4 guests. A dishwasher makes cleanup easy so you can get back to the views.

Technology

Two Samsung TVs - a 55" in the main living room and a 46" in the king bedroom - are set up for your favorite streaming and cable content. High-speed Xfinity internet keeps everyone connected when they actually want to be.

Laundry

A full washer and dryer are on-site, which is a genuine luxury when you're packing ski gear for multiple days.

Outdoor

Two grills - one propane with all burners working and a full tank, one charcoal - are ready for outdoor meals with mountain air as your backdrop. A backup key lockbox is located outside the main entrance.

Guest Access:
Self-check-in is simple and seamless. An electronic lock is on the front door. Your code will be sent to you prior to arrival. Parking for 2 vehicles is available on the paved driveway. Note that the driveway is steep - 4-wheel drive or all-wheel drive is recommended, especially in winter conditions. Your host is available if any questions come up during your stay.
