This condo is perfect for a couple who wants true ski in-ski out. My husband and I have stayed here four times over the past 8 years. This was the first time under VRBO/Vacasa management. Vacasa was fine and the communication was clear and thorough.
I will say that over the past 8 years, this property has declined. It is time for a refresh and it needs maintenance. There are things in true need of repair.
This condo is truly in the heart of the Core and you can't get any closer to the lift and gondola.
The pros of this property is its location. It is perfect. The steam shower is also awesome after a day on the slopes.
The cons of this property, there is no parking and even more importantly, there is no drive up to the building. Moreover, there is no elevator, so you must climb steps to the second floor. This is important to note when you're schlepping luggage, ski gear and groceries from a drop off from, at best, Blue Mesa condos approximately 200 yards away. This is not a place for anyone that isn't up for that physicality. The other thing to note is it is directly over the Crazy Elk Pizza. Be prepared to smell pizza and strong oregano during your stay. It's not bad, but it is strong. The pizza is good so be sure to enjoy some!
The location is what makes this property special and it is cute and cozy.
