“Great value for the location and amenities (unit 48)”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

The price with lift tickets is very hard to beat for what you get.

Tri-level unit with second level deck that has 2-3 person private jacuzzi (2 guys max).

The unit is nicely appointed, leather couch and flat panel TV, ipod dock, small dining room table for 4.

Kitchen is on the small side, so if you plan to cook a ton of meals for a lot of people, this is probably not the unit for you. But for 2-4 ppl this should work. Check the utensils and cookware before heading to the market. No condiments of any sort in the fridge or cupboards. Though we did leave some beer, vodka, and butter behind ;)

We had 4 grown men and it was a little tight at times but worked. The main BR has a nice queen and wall mounted flat panel TV, and it's own bathrooms. The light switches in the entire unit are pretty lame, they are on opposite walls inside the bathroom, not just inside the door where you normally expect them to be. Kind of that way in entire place, very odd/annoying. The second BR is very small, has two twin beds, which are not great for grown men, and the beds are very close because of the size of the room. Would probably not rent this place again if we go with 4 guys due to this room and bed setup. If you put them together you could make one queen and that would be OK. Fourth guy used the couch bed and it was good to go.

The proximity to the shops and walkway is nice, just couple hundred yards to the market and liquor store. A brisk 10-15 minute walk down the pathways to the gondola's, not terrible but our skier guy checked his gear every night rather than walk it every morning in ski boots. Us snowboarders didn't have a problem, actually warms up your legs a little before getting on the mountain.

Downstairs parking is super secure. The condo unit door entry is a code lock which is nice, so you don't have to mess with fondling a key all the time.

Overall a nice stay and great value. Would recommend. Unit 48. Trevor is the owner.

Room Tip: Unit 48... facing the quiet side of the building

“Beautiful ski chalet.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012

Just got home after a week at GR, suite 81A&B. Location very good, a pleasant 15 minute walk along the village stroll to the lifts. Ideal for family with 2 kids (upstairs a double bed, downstairs two singles that can be brought together if need be for two couples). Kitchen is excellent, and the grocery store is across the street at the market place. Entryway a bit tight, have to take turns getting boots off. Price was very good value. Would stay there again.

“Nice and Close”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 January 2012

Only a 15 minute walk to the lifts. 3 minute walk to the grocery and liquor store. Had our own private hot tub. And there was a pool there too. Our unit also had a full kitchen. Not much to complain about here!

“Long walk to lifts, but gret place to stay.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 January 2012

This place is a great place to stay for a ski vacation. Most units have their own hot tubs and as far as I know come with kitchenettes and gas fireplaces. I would definetly stay here again. It is just across the street from the IGA, liquor store, and northern enterance to the village. The only down side is that the lifts are at the opposite end of the village making it a long walk to carry all your gear.

“Unit 23. Great for a family”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 January 2012

Our family of four with 2 grandparents enjoyed our stay. It was nice to have a master bedroom for the grandparents with its own ensuite and private entrance. Location is fairly close to all the action yet still is peaceful. Loved the oudoor hot tub and indoor sauna. Will stay here again
