the apartment was beautiful. it made us feel at home. the decorations and furniture was perfect.

we were unaware there was no elevator to get to the third floor. my mom that is in her 70’s had to climb four flights of stairs and she wasn’t use to that. made me worry about her. we felt the outside of the building needed some updating. paint the railing/trim of the walkway. maybe all towels for the pool area or in the apartment. didn’t know I needed to bring a towel and didn’t want to use my bath towel.

The place was clean and comfortable, but having to climb 28 stairs to third level was challenging for 2 sixty year old, 70 year old and 80 year old.

Climbing 28 stairs to third floor. We are in our sixty, seventy, and eighty

The unit was in a good location to take day trips. Close to town and the national forest. We had a daily visitor (bear) that came by to check all the car doors to verify they were locked. Was fun to watch.

Had a bit of trouble getting the key code prior to arrival. Tried calling the property manager and had to wait a short while to get the code. The drive up to the unit was a little difficult on winding narrow roads.

The beautiful view.

The tv in our unit was very small & not good quality. One room didn’t have a tv & the other rooms tv was even smaller. For the price we paid I feel better tv would have been amazing, but other than that it was a wonderful stay.

No elevator I didn’t mind as in 35. But watched a lot of older people struggle especially when carrying heavy luggage. I would suggest investing in elevator.
