Great Property on the Knoll
One of the better properties we've stayed at on the Knoll. The kitchen was large and fully stocked, the living room had great views for a lower-level suite, the master bathroom with fireplace was amazing and the hot tub and Apple TV were added bonuses that the kids (and weary adults) appreciated apres-ski! We'll definitely be coming back!

our first White Christmas
Absolutely magical time in Silverstar during Christmas. We are from NZ and this was a family white Christmas trip. The apartment was the icing on the cake - spacious, well appointed, good location and beautifully decorated with Christmas trimmings and decorations. Would very much like to stay there again if we get the opportunity. Many thanks.

Stayed here with my family of 5 for 3 nights to go skiing at Silverstar in mid April during last extended week of the season. The house was clean, well appointed and very comfortable. The hot tub was great and everything was in good working order. We had our own car, but shuttle bus was available just across the street to the village. Overall great experience.

Sixties and still having fun!
We had a great stay at this property! We did both Nordic & Downhill. Ski in/out was good. Hot Tub has a nice setting around snow covered tree's. On a bluebird day the view of the Monashee's would be amazing. Info about shuttle in the unit would have been nice. Did not figure out the shuttle runs around the knoll until last day.

Awesome way to wrap up the season
We rented this condo while we did the S2S Nordic race and it was perfect for me and my family. Rob was so awesome to communicate with and when we had to bring our pooch at the last minute. The location is great and getting to the village was a breeze with the shuttle stopping right across the road- we were able to get my 4yr old and 2 yr old down and ready in time. Skiing was great for the final weekend and we would be happy to rent again from Rob.

Stayed for a month- wish we could have stayed longer!
This lodging was great for our long-term stay for our family of four. Key items that stood out for our long term rental include a well laid out floor plan, deep freeze included, larger living area, comfortable furniture, cozy decor, SUPER stocked kitchen (complete with 2 crockpots, coffee bean grinder, sushi plates/soy sauce bowls, wine glasses, etc!), BBQ, large kitchen pantry to store A LOT. The enclosed entrance area/boot room was spacious and extremely functional with keeping all of our snow/ski gear in one place. Having garage access to store skis, tobaggans and snowshoes was also very convenient. Shuttle comes around reliably every half hour to get to Village and back home from skiing. We found the shuttle was the best way to get back from skiing, but skiing out was extremely easy via either skiway access #3 or #4. Easy walk to tube town and skating pond by cutting down through underneath Silver Queen chair. Thanks for a great stay!

This is our second stay to Dachshund House; last year the middle floor and this year the lower unit. Both have all of the fixings of home such that you never want to leave. Well stocked kitchen, lots of storage space, great view, super cozy atmosphere, comfy beds, lovely hot tub, and easy access to ski, cross country, and snow shoe trails. Easy walk into town as well. Rob is always just a text away should you neeed anything. All in all a 5 star experience for our staycation.

A beautiful, up-to-date unit. Clean, comfortable, all amenities you could want.

Christmas Break Staycation
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this property. The setup is great for a family and all the snow gear that goes with it. Lots of room for boots and bins and laundry, etc. It was tastefully decorated for Christmas and was super cozy with the two gas fireplaces. We were happy with how close the trail was to access the ski hill. You can get to Silver Woods or the Comet easily. We also skied back on our second day, ending at the top of the Silver Queen chair with just a short walk home. We would definitely rent again!

This is the nicest place we have stayed over 5 years of visits to Silver Star. The condo is fully equipped with a great layout for families with kids. We struggled with the combination on the front door and through trial and error figured out how to turn the keyhole to open the door.

Sublime Silver Star
Another fantastic holiday at Silver Star in a beautiful unit on the Knoll. Comfortable, cozy, just like home - why go anywhere else? And the skiing is to die for - perfect snow, no crowds, great mountain. Already booked for 2021 and 2022!

Great Property on The Knoll
Our family of 4 (plus goldendoodle Amber) stayed over the 2019 Holidays at "Dachshund haus" for a week. The house is well stocked, beautifully furnished/decorated, comfortable and located near access trails for all activities we love to enjoy at Silver Star. All appliances are high quality and the kitchen is very well stocked. The entertainment system is outstanding - everything you need is there, with a user-friendly setup. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay as a base for alpine skiing, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing with the pup. Accessing the trails from the house is very easy, although returning to the house requires either a ride in the resort shuttle, a 10-minute walk from the top of the Silver Queen Chair Lift or a hike from the trails - but that's what you get from staying on top of beautiful Knoll! Well worth it.

Beautiful apartment, perfect location, awesome responsive owner/manager.
We have been coming to Silver Star for 7 years and we had stayed at the same location each year. But this year, the owners sold and moved so we opted for this unit. Great choice. Superlatives: newly renovated kitchen and bathrooms, with gorgeous granite counters, new cherry cabinets, new appliances including a gas stove (!), very quiet Bosch dishwasher, new washer/dryer, large French door fridge with icemaker and filtered water, new HiDef TV with Apple TV which was a tad challenging for us to operate but the owners had a tech guy on call who walked us through some of the complexities of the system, fully stocked kitchen, handy entry way. Driveway was reliably plowed and stairs shoveled; it snowed nearly every day during our week. One of the owners, Greg, lives upstairs; the other, Rob, responded promptly to our questions and issues (no laundry detergent but maid service dropped off a full box the next day). Living and dining seating were comfortable enough. The only nit was the bottom mattress in the bottom bed is feeling its age but the owner appreciated us bringing that to his attention. Gas fireplaces in both living room and master bedroom gave a cozy feel to the place. The view from the living room is spectacular, if you're lucky enough to have a view. We only had one day when the clouds parted for us to see. Highly recommended. If we come back to Silver Star, we will definitely hope to stay here.

Luxury Condo
This is a very well equipped and appointed two bedroom unit. The kitchen has everything you would need, a gas stove. large fridge and a good sized micro wave . There is a Keurig pod coffee maker as well as a normal drip one. There is a large pantry where you can store all your cooking needs and food. The master bedroom is over the top with a two way gas fireplace and a large en-suite with walk in shower and whirlpool tub. The second bedroom is smaller but still well appointed and has a full bathroom next door. The front hall is large enough for all occupants to remove and store their ski boots and it is heated so that the boots dry overnight.There is a serviced hot tub on one front deck and a Weber Bar-b- Que on the other. While you cannot normally use the small garage to park a car it can be used to securely store your skis. All in all well worth the price.

Sunny Days at Dachshund House
We had a fabulous stay at Dachshund House in March 2019. The unit was beautiful. This is a very well built house with attention to detail you don't always see. Easy access to ski storage in the garage and a good-sized boot room at the front entrance. The hot tub was hot and crystal clear and and the beds were comfortable. The kitchen had all the necessary dishes and cookware but there is nothing in the pantry so bring your own condiments etc. Ski out, to either Silver Woods or Comet chair, was directly across the street in the cul-de-sac (walk part way up the driveway between two houses and you will see it) and although you can walk back to the house from the top of the Silver Queen chair, we opted for the free shuttle from the village and it was extremely convenient. We have already booked for next year!

Thanks for staying and look forward to having you back. So sorry about the condiments. We stock it up just before the winter season and looks like it got total used up. Will advise housekeeping to keep a better eye on this. Thanks again and see you back at Silver Star! Rob

Perfect
Our family of 4 stayed here for 5 weeks for Christmas 2018/19. It was perfect for us and we hope to return. Ski out was about a 50 metre walk from the driveway and the return to the property was easy with the resort shuttle which literally dropped us at the driveway to the condo, all so easy for us and our children. The condo itself was very neat, clean, tidy and modern with all the conveniences and equipped with everything we needed for our 5 week stay. The apple tv / Netflix and the hot tub in particular, were luxuries we enjoyed immensely. Rob was most helpful in the booking process and for the duration of our stay. A fantastic property in an idyllic setting, we’re already planning our return to Silver Star. Simon, Amanda, Hamish and Oliver.

This is a very functional, nicely appointed home, within easy walking distance to the ski trails. While the kitchen has a plethora of cooking gear, there are no basic spices/condiments so remember to pack your own! Happy Trails!
