The location is very convenient. Just across the street from the slopes and shops and restaurants. The apartment had what we needed. My only complaint were the linens. The blankets were old and worn and one looked like it had been chewed by a dog.
Jennifer - Posted: 2/19/2026
Thanks for the great review! We are dissapppointed to hear about the state of some linens and wish we has the chance to address the problem while you were here. We have coached the team to keep an eye out for those blankets that are ready to be replaced. We appreciate your feedback and hope to host you again in the future!

VVR were great as hosts and the unit was nicely updated and well maintained (not to mention a great location). Had one issue upon check in that VVR addressed immediately which was appreciated. Accessing parking (controlled by the HOA) is a huge pain in the a$$ though - make sure you reserve everything in advance as trying to handle from your phone doesn't seem to work.
Chuck - Posted: 12/3/2024
We hope you and your daughter had a great ski trip! And thanks for mentioning parking for future guests- we know it can be tough and I'm so glad it all worked out for you.
