Good for two couples
Two master bedrooms (each with ensuite bathroom) on opposite sides of the living room was an ideal setup for two couples. This was also the only unit we could find with air conditioning and we definitely needed it during our end-of-July visit.
In the interest of managing expectations though, it should be mentioned that the title photo is no longer accurate. There are many condo buildings occupying the entire empty field in the picture, so the view is limited and those condos did not get built overnight. Also the unit is dimly lit, even with every single light and lamp on. On a cloudy day or in the evening it was hard to see what you were doing on the kitchen countertops - there are no under-cabinet lights and the ceiling lights were minimal. The kitchen island was an exception in that it had two pendant lights directly over it. There are no lights above the showers or bathtubs, no bedroom ceiling lights, only small table lamps in bedrooms, and the paint scheme is dark, which contributes to the dimness. Additionally there are no pictures on the bedroom or bathroom walls giving it a sterile feeling. The balcony has only two chairs and one side table although the unit sleeps six and there is plenty of room on the balcony for several more chairs and side tables. On the other hand, the living room area is crammed with oversized furniture so it’s tricky to get people on both sides of the dining table. The pocket doors to the bathrooms were a little difficult to slide open/closed and the kitchen faucet spray nozzle does not fully retract. The blinds over the baloney door were difficult to open and the cords pile awkwardly on the floor once it’s open because they are on the wrong side of the blinds.
The unit is in the Trailhead Lodge and you check in and out with the front desk, which went very smooth. The packet they gave us was very thorough and informative. Loved having a dishwasher and a washer/dryer in the unit. It was great to park in the adjacent garage out of the sun and it was nice to walk to the gondola for the scenic ride. Overall the unit is very adequate but not luxurious.
