We stayed at Cindy and Dave’s condo for three nights during the MLK Day holidays. We loved it and highly recommend! (1) Great location with awesome views. The condo is only a few minutes away from Diamond Peak. My husband, who didn’t ski this time, was able to drop us off at the entrance of the ski resort and get back to the condo within 10 minutes (without traffic, no snow). It was so convenient given that finding a parking spot near the resort is not easy during the peak ski season. (2) Clean and cozy. We always take off our shoes in our house but we don’t always feel comfortable to do so in many other houses. This condo was very clean so we just go without shoes inside. Overall the property is very well maintained. (3) It has almost everything you would need for vacation. Fully furnished including free WiFi, TVs, premium channels—my brother was delighted to watch NBA games after skiing —, fireplace, board games, etc.; bathrooms have all essential items—enough towels, paper, Kleenex, soap, hand washer, shampoo, conditioner—and the kitchen was fully equipped plus surprise treats like coffee and popcorns. There are a nice BBQ grill and outdoor table/chairs on the balcony though we didn’t use them this time. (4) A bonus loft room. It’s like an extra bedroom for kids. Our boys loved the loft so much that they stayed most of their time there if not skiing outside. (5) Lastly, we would like to thank Cindy again for her flexibility and kindly allowing us to check in early. (Luckily there was no one checking out that day).
A couple of notes for visitors: (a) You need to drive uphill and then down to get to the condo. It didn’t snow during our stay so no issue without snow tires or chains but please be prepared if snows or ice on the road. (b) Parking. There is a single car garage attached to the unit and the opening is quite small as described in the instructions. We were able to park our Toyota Highlander there because my we are quite used to and really good at tight parking. However if you are not like us or have a bigger car, you’d better park outside. If you park in front of the unit, you need to parallel park on an uneven surface.
