10/10
Pros: Steps to Canyon Lodge. Very comfortable layout. Feels roomy. Great entry space for skis and wet gear. Ground floor unit and protected loading area to pull car within feet of units front door. No wandering thru hallways and doorways. Great fireplace and fully stocked with wood, starter fuel. Great heaters. New bath fixtures, kitchen appliances. Some good kitchen items. Great plates, mugs, and glasses. Well stocked kitchen. Functional furniture. Good TVs. Good internet. Comfortable King bed. Three full baths is great. Two families can easily be comfortable. Very low cleaning fee.
Cons: Small Kitchen (but usable). Small kitchen sink too. Horrible silverware and too few pieces (such an easy fix). Some fry pans have convex bottom but will still work. Hot Incandescent light bulbs all over (minor issue but easy fix- and subjective), old carpet (but works and not smelly) , couch cushions lost support but usable. Queen bed needs replacement (King bed is super good). Loft fold out mini couch/full cushion bed is disgusting when opened. Room with King bed is very cramped. Front door lock is bed/bath grade with push button lock. Unit needs Keyless entry lock so multiple people can come and go to unit independently (after all this is very short walk to Canyon Lodge) and reduce worries about copied keys and unauthorized guest access. Claims to sleeps 9 but only two keys are offered (I complained a day before coming and asked for 4 keys and got it without issue so YMMV). Big con is the advertised daily rate is falsely lowered. There are two large service charges from VBRO AND Red Awning. Its the old airline trick with fees so they show well on your search. Just be aware when you comparison shop.
Unit is not luxury but we loved our stay, highly recommend, and will come again (with 4 extra 60 watt LED bulbs for the King room downstairs bath vanity so I don't bake). None of the cons are deal breakers but I wish they would address.
