Our stay at Marlena's condo was nothing short of amazing. We had been incredibly busy leading up to our trip. Going to Big White and staying at Marlena's was the perfect get away and super therapeutic! We arrived after dark on a Sunday evening, (your GPS may try to tell you that you have arrived but you need to go a little further around the next corner before you are really there :)). The condo was warm and inviting. Every thing was set and ready to go. The boys loved the room with the Wii and popcorn! Our daughter and other son each had their own room, as did my husband and I. We loved the gas fireplace and being in the private hot tub when it was snowing outside was fabulous. The 'ski in and ski out' experience was very convenient. You walk across the street and ski right under the lift, down to a couple lift options. My daughter had no desire to ski this trip so she stayed in the condo all day doing work on her computer and just taking it easy. It was a wonderful break for her. It was also cool to ride past the condo on the lift and wave to her as we went by. Returning to the condo when we were done was easy also. I enjoyed walking to the village and going to the Tea Bar for tea and an Acai bowl. I am not much of an adventurous skier so Serwa was the perfect green run for me. My husband and the boys preferred the cliff and other more challenging runs. Big White met all of our different ski preferences, and Marlena's condo outdid every expectation that we had for our place to stay. We drove from Washington State and needed two cars for us and all of our equipment, it worked our perfectly that we were able to park both of our cars right there. We were able to keep all of our equipment in the warmth of the garage alongside one of the cars. All of the rooms have their own temperature control. The fireplace provided great heat as well. The kitchen was beautifully supplied with all of the dishes, appliances and utensils that we needed. Bathrooms were very clean and convenient, never ran out of hot water, even when we all showered. There were plenty of towels to shower with and for after using the hot tub. There is a washer and dryer conveniently located near the kitchen. We have absolutely no complaints! Marlena was very kind in every way and she made our stay very easy. I do recommend following Marlena's advice and getting groceries before you head up the hill! This was a great experience and we will be back! Thank you Marlena!!
