Overall the property and location were great. It would have been good to know about the elevator before we carried all our stuff up to the third floor.
Dirty !!
Every dish we used had to be washed first.
The sofa bed was never cleaned after use. It had popcorn and a pair of dirty socks still in it. Unacceptable!!
I absolutely loved the location! We were able to walk to Canyon Lodge and enjoy a full day on the mountain. The place was cozy, we couldn't get the fireplace working but the heater was working great! And of course the hot tub was a success! Had enough cooking supplies and even spices we didn't have to buy! Thank you for everything!
Blizzard conditions. We picked up the key from another location. Received keys and parking tags. The entry to the building was blocked by heavy snow. Didnât know how to get in into the building. Fortunately, someone opened the garage door. We entered walking. We couldnât tell we were in the right place. I asked someone and they confirmed it was silver bear, I believe. We finally found our unit. We had to use the stairs to the 3rd floor since elevator was out of order. When we accessed the unit we found the garage door opener. Why was t the garage door opener with the keys we picked up? We couldnât use the upstairs bedroom because even though the temperature downstairs was set at 65 degrees upstairs felt like 90 degrees. No one slept in it. Too hot no ventilation.
The condo was bigger inside than it looked on line. It was nice to be so close to the elevator. The loft was great for kids. The condo was a bit older and starting to look aged. microwave handle broke, some other blemishes around the condo as well. The view was lovely, being on the 3rd floor the lofted ceilings gave it a big feel. The kitchen was well stocked and two main bedrooms nice. If you are looking for a very nice 3 br,3ba close to the slopes, this is your place.
The unit is on the 3rd floor, right next to the elevator. This made for easy loading and unloading. The living room/dining room/kitchen is a great lay out. There is a small balcony with a BBQ. (Bring your own lighter/matches!!). There is even an Insta-pot!!
The rationale for the 4 stars on the cleanliness: there was a LOT of dust in the unit. Although the surfaces were clean to the touch, there was a lot of dust in the high surfaces (the ones at ceiling level). It made our allergies activate. As soon as we left the building, we were fine.
Also, be aware that there are screens missing from 2 of the 4 windows in the living room. One of the windows leads to the balcony - not a safety hazard. However the other missing screen is on a window that is easily accessible. Just be careful! We kept that window closed.
Third, the DVD player in the living room TV works but it only played in Black and White. The kids thought it was so old fashioned! Suggestion: bring an HDMI cable so you can connect your device to the free WiFi and the TV. I wish we had done that ...
Lastly, the pocket door to the bathroom in one of the master bedrooms doesn't close all the way. Just something to be aware of...
All in all, we loved our vacation at the Silverbear Condos. I would stay here again (and come a bit more prepared with an HDMI cable!).
The place is very run down and not what was expected. There were many gashes in the walls, broken down furniture and things that did not work. The pocket door in the master bedroom was broken. The fireplace was extremely hard to figure out to turn on. Ended up calling maintenance to come assist. The unit needs serious improvements for the price we paid per night
