Let me start this review by saying that I live in a nearby ski town and worked for a very popular management company (that my husband still works for) for MANY MANY years. Did you ever hear the saying go to the best neighborhood and buy the cheapest property? Well......this condo/townhome is a good representation of that idea. It is located in a neighborhood flanked by million dollar homes but it is an late 70's 80's throwback, built in to the hillside in the woods with 49 steps leading down to the unit. The unit has a small deck off of the dining room but there is no view and a few older plastic chairs sitting on it. The grill is very nice though:) The downstairs bedrooms are very cool and two are VERY DARK!! The sofas upstairs are really really really dated (my guess would be 1989) which would be fine but they are very uncomfortable, I would not subject even the youngest kiddo to sleeping on the fold out and my parents in their 60's and 70's could not get up without assistance once they had sat down.
I feel like I have to mention again that there are FORTY NINE steps leading to this unit, we had 4 people over the age of 60 who are in good shape but even for them this was a challenge. Carrying suitcases, groceries, etc up and down was crazy! I cannot imagine if they had been more out o f shape or bothered by the altitude. Someone should put this very important fact in to the description of the unit.
I did keep saying to myself, this is what you get when you have 2 dogs and a budget but I am not so sure. The town home is old and dark. It really really needs some TLC. With some updating and landscaping this unit would be worth it but right now I would not recommend it:( That having been said, Erin at Retreatia was very nice and we still had a great time in Steamboat, we just made a point of staying out of the townhome as much as possible.
