I would like to start by saying that I am a fairly difficult grader and have traveled quite a bit in my years. My wife and her family have owned similar types of vacation rental properties before - which is a baseline for review. Most of the time, I either book a hotel or stay at a property where I am not taking on responsibility to provide a reservation. With this in mind, I’ve broken out a number of categories for the stay at this property in Breckenridge:
Location (5 out of 5)
You really can’t beat it. We were steps from skiing onto the slopes with an average wait of about 7 minutes. At its peak, probably 15 minutes. From there, you could walk to downtown where there is plenty of shopping and restaurants. It is truly a can’t miss.
Cleanliness (4 out of 5)
Overall, it was a fairly clean property. I would advise paying a little more attention to little things, like cleaning the range (which once we turned on started to smell burnt due to previous use) and what looked to be dog hair on some chairs. I know that pets are not allowed, which was a key factor in our decision. Issue could have been due to previous guests carrying in hair - you just never know.
Sleep Quality (3 out of 5)
This was difficult for us because the bed and sheets were good - but we could honestly not fall asleep. Could be due to elevation or some other factors - drink plenty of water. It may also be due to how warm it was inside of the room. We turned the temperature down as far as it could go, but had to resort to opening the sliding glass doors to cool down the condo. Ended up working out, but still a very big struggle for the entire family. The property does have fans and humidifiers if needed.
Pool, Sauna, Exercise Room (2 out of 5)
This was a bit of a disappointment as these areas were packed every time. Understandably, it was a prime vacation week - but there was literally no space in any of these areas. Many had commandeered these spaces to themselves over the several days we were there, including the televisions and games. Plus, I’m not a big fan of walking through the garage to get to these areas as it was a bit of a pain.
Owners/Management (5 out of 5)
Kelly was great. We ran into a bit of a kerfuffle with the key going into the parking garage which was resolved in a matter of minutes. When I had questions, she responded right away. You can tell that she takes considerable pride in her ownership of the until and in making her guests feel
