Xmas 2008
Review Submitted: January 6, 2009
Date of Stay: December 2008
I rented this for my family of 4 plus mother-in-law and teenage godson for 4 days of skiing over the Xmas holidays. The condo is actually two stacked on top of each other so there is plenty of space and flexible accomodation. The bedrooms were all good sizes with the master suit being particularly luxurious. There is a kind of open loft with a twin bed in it overlooking one of the bedrooms which is accesible via a pull down ladder. A little odd but actually meant that it worked well as bedroom for 3 kids and viewed as a real adventure by the teenager!
As it is 2 condos there is actually 2 living rooms on different floors which would work well with multiple families, bigger groups or to keep the kids amused and out of the way!
The place is clean, well maintained, very well equipped and extremely comfortable. Some rentals have lower quality furnishings and fittings but this was not the case for Riverbend, it was lovely to come back to after a days skiing.
Towels and bedding were generously provisioned (and of nice quality) and the cupboards were well stocked with crockery, cutlery and utensils. Stock up with some groceries and pack your ski gear, you don't need to bring much else.
Its in it a great location, literally 3-4 mins drive to South Ridge Lodge and close to the bars, restaurants and supermarket. Its also very easy to find from the directions.
The owner could not have been more helpful and accommodating. We had some complications with Paypal and the invoice (of my making not hers) but she took care of it straight away. She was always available by phone and proactive in ensuring we had what we needed.
I would say that you could comfortably accomodate 2 families of 4 in this with plenty of living space and at great value. You could sleep 11 but that would be better suited for a group of friends and living space would be tight.
All in all I would thoroughly recommend this as a ski rental and we would not hesitate to book it again.
