Moutain views were nice, long drive up to get to the resort from Golden, rooms didn’t have fitted sheets which was different. Had bear spray at the front desk which was nice. Had a good time exploring the area.

Stayed here for a night. It's very quiet area with some great views. It's a little away from the main town and no nearby food options.

Visted in September. Lovely area to hike in, with a bear refuge just up the mountain side (hikable if you want, or accessible via a reasonably priced chairlift). Down the mountain are a couple of nice lakes. The room was spotless and well maintained, with a large bathroom and small but functional kitchenette. Good views from the balcony. The gym, sauna and steam room looked clean and well maintained but beyond an initial inspection, we didnt actually get around to using them as 'the mountains were calling'!

Lovely quiet and chilled location with Mountain View’s. The flat had a wide range of amenities making our stay both comfortable and relaxing. A short 15 minute drive into Golden and the highway, so easy access to reach locations.

Resort was ok this is a strata resort, room was good patio off bedroom was great. Not a lot of eating places up there which was inconvenient. Resort indicated hot tub, absolutely fail on this it was disgustingly dirty. This resort would be much more appealing if there was some upgrades.

The room was fine. The elevator was not in service for the 3rd floor room, all the restaurants closed at 5 and was the last day they were open for the season. No place for even coffee the next AM. This was never advertised prior to booking.

Elevator was not working and we were on the fourth floor. Other amenities were out of order as well, I’m sure this is there off season so I understand needing to make updates. Knowing this before booking would have been nice. Staff was excellent and extremely helpful with information about the area.

The property and setting were very nice and there seemed to be some nice amenities available. It is a bit of a drive from Golden but we knew this ahead of time. We were very disappointed in the room which did not look anything like to picture and much smaller and needed updating. It seemed like a smaller adjoining room from another condo and was smaller than most standard hotel rooms we have stayed in. The covering on the chair was worn off and looked like it should have been replaced years ago. Very disappointing for the price.

The property is in need of some TLC. Beautiful location and rooms. It just needs some money spent in the rooms. Badley worn leather chairs, extremely worn out mattress.
