Had a great summer stay at this property! It stayed cool inside the unit even in 90 degree summer weather. We closed the windows and blinds during the day and opened the windows in the morning and evening to cool it down. We had 2 fans running in the evening to help circulate air.
The unit does not get much natural light. This helped keep it cool, but it was dark in the unit. We didn't mind since we were not there during the day. It does not have a mountain view - it faces Village Drive which is not too busy of a street during the summer.
The location of this unit was perfect for us. The Wild Plum is across the street and has groceries, prepared food to eat and good ice cream. Apres Burger Bistro is right next door and has great burgers and salads. It was nice to be able to walk to restaurants and walk to walking/running/biking paths. It is a short drive to downtown Steamboat, but you can walk to the gondola, ski village and some restaurants.
It is a perfect size for 4 people. The bathrooms are small, but clean and functional. The toilet and shower in the master bedroom have a door and can be closed off to the bed, but the sink and counter are located within the bedroom itself (no door from the sink into the bedroom). The master bed is very high off of the ground, but very comfortable to sleep in.
The living space was nice and comfy. We only ate breakfast and some lunches there. We did not cook dinners there, but the kitchen looked to be well stocked with dishes, pots and pans.
The patio is small, but does have a table and 4 chairs. We did not use the patio other than to hang dry our swim towels. The patio floor could use a cleaning.
Overall a great place to stay. The unit was clean, we loved the location and was happy the unit cooled off at night after opening the windows.
