We had a week's stay at Yampa View with another couple (total: 4 adults) the last week of January. We were very pleased with our accommodations and service.

We booked a 2BR/2BA packaged with 3-day lift tickets through the Resort Company, requesting a second floor or higher condo with rustic decor. We were booked at 2590 Longthong Drive (Lower Yampa) in room 209---cost was about $200 a night. Check in was easy and our room was clean and in order when we arrived. Although the external building is not that impressive, especially compared to much of the new development in the area, the condo itself had all the advertised amenities and a few extras (balcony facing the mountain and gondola line, gas fireplace, kitchen stocked with utensils and appliances, ski closet, complimentary bottle of wine, hairdryers in the bathrooms, massage shower heads, plenty of extra towels, stereo, TV/DVD, board games, etc.). I would compare the decor and room features as being similar to those of an updated Best Western or Holiday Inn Express/Select, which fit our needs just fine. There was also a sleeper sofa in the living room area and a large dining table, so a 2BR/2BA could comfortably sleep/eat 6.

Initially, our fireplace did not work and we did not have a key to the hot tub gate. I walked to the front desk (10 minutes) to request assistance with these issues, and a maintenance person arrived to the condo before I returned from my walk back to the condo (FAST service!).

The shuttle service was great! There were shuttles to the base area and downtown at approximately every 10 minutes during the day and every 30 minutes at night, with other stops available along the way (movie theater, grocery store, etc.). The service to downtown runs until midnight. Although not required, we typically called the front desk prior to taking a shuttle to confirm the schedule. The staff was always helpful and contacted the shuttle drivers for us as notification to expect us. We did not use the city bus, but there was a bus stop at the end of the driveway for it. You could easily make it around the city without a car using the shuttle and/or bus system.

The hot tubs (2) are located near the upper Yampa condos, about 1-2 blocks from where we stayed. Although the walk was a little cold in January, it was worth it---a great view. You have to push a button every 10 minutes to keep the jets going, sometimes having to get partially out of the tub---a minor annoyance for an otherwise relaxing time. We did not use the sauna, but it was near the hot tubs. Laundry facilities were also near the hot tubs.

The housekeeping schedule was a little unpredictable. They came 3 times during our 6 night stay, but not at a regular schedule, mostly tidying the bathrooms and running the vacuum. This worked fine for us, as we generally managed our own room upkeep, and the dishwasher made keeping the kitchen clean an easy task. Overall, the rooms were clean and we had no complaints.

In sum, we had a great stay at Yampa View and would gladly return. It appears that we were in Steamboat during a "down time," so not sure what service would be like during peak/rush season---but we were pleased with the staff and the condo.

Going to Steamboat Springs for Skiing or Riding or Summer fun?
The Yampa View was an easy and resonably priced accomodation. We had a 2 br with a loft. It could handle up to 8. We had five. 4 adults and one child. If you are looking for a way to save on food costs, the kitchen is well stocked for cooking and roomy enough to seat 8 easily.
The hot tub was ok. not the best we've seen, but not too bad, relaxing.

A free shuttle service to the condos and to the ski area and to town. don't rent a car..it would be a waste here.

At the ski area at the top of the gondola you must see the Olympics museum room on the second floor of the lodge there. really very cool to sit, warm up, and take in the history of this unique area.

The resort is much fun for any intermediate and above skiier or rider. My wife and I love the town too. Great people, good food, lots to do on and off the slopes. Great childrens programs and a world class ski school as well.

For the most experienced there is much terrian to be explored in the powder that lasts in the trees.

Lovely stay for a long weekend.
We booked through Steamboat Central Restervations.

We stayed here for a fall weekend and loved this roomy condo. There was a balcony that faced the town. The twinkling lights and night and lots of sun in the daytime. The room had a huge living room and dining room. Good size kitchen too. I booked on a VRBO site and this condo had recently been remodeled. Very quiet and private up there on the mountain.
