Winterplace at Okemo definitely exceeded my expectations. Our unit was similar to other condo type timeshares. Unit was clean, kept up well, and was filled with fun and games right in the unit. There was a library of DVDs and board games. Full kitchen, fireplace, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, washer, and dryer. My stay was only a short one, just 2 nights, and was my first trip to Vermont, so not much time was spent in the unit other than for sleeping. If I am ever back in the area, which is very possible, I will hopefully be able to stay here. This unit is part of the Jackson Gore lodge, which itself is also very charming. If there was anything negative to say, it would probably be that I would have liked the roads and parking in front of the unit to be paved, and not gravel.
This property was perfect for what my friends and I were looking for. The condo style unit was less than a 5 minute walk to the nearest trail which was especially convenient this season. The pictures in the listing did not match the actual unit we stayed in. However, this was not an issue as the unit we received was more than adequate for our stay and had the same number of beds, baths and amenities listed. Overall, I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a stay on Okemo Mountain.
This was a nice condo on the mountain, but checking in and finding the property in the dark was a challenge. There is no notice ahead of travel or at Okemo to let you know you have to drive over to Jackson Gore for check in. It was pure luck someone was walking through the Okemo base that we learned about check in at Jackson Gore. Process is smooth but you do need to speak with a person.
The condo was not the cleanest - but it appeared to not have been used for some time, so perhaps the dust. The carpet especially did not seem to have been vacuumed in some time and the kitchen counters had dirt on them. Utensils, dishes, appliances, etc all seemed clean but the bathrooms had hair and dirt in the tubs. We only used one of the two bathrooms for that reason. And the pillows provided were only the throw type - you have to dig through the closets and find pillows for the beds and clean cases to put them in.
Finally, navigating the drive around the mountain at night is difficult. Some lighting around the signs to driveways and the many properties on the mountain would go a long way.
The condo was really nice, figuring out how to get our key was a little challenging. You have to go to Jacksons Gore Inn to pick up the key, not the base lodge at Okemo. We were glad we arrived in daylight versus at night to find our way.
Nothing about checkin was communicated to us. We got here and had to run all around the buildings to find someone that then told us to go to Jackson gore inn to checkin and then Come back. No one was answering the phone either. When we came back we still couldnât find it. Had to figure it out after more searching and no help from guest service.
However the accommodations are beautiful. So at least we were rewarded for sticking to it.
The condo at Winterplace was beautiful, spacious and so cozy and comfortable! Very well maintained, equipped with all you would need for overnight or for a week! The ONLY thing we werenât expecting or informed of was that there wasnât any air conditioning! We were there in the off season on an unseasonably warm day/night with 84 degree weather, so it was a little warm in the condo. Maybe just mention that in the room description!
I am very disappointed with the way we were welcome and checked in , no proper communication with direction to the Unit from main building no internet in the unit when asked, receptionist said that the winter place units do not have WIFI . No pass code was given to the pool at the time of check in , Unit was very old with bad smells ( amenities were okay) .
BTW - I should mention one thing, Michael at the reception was very nice and helpful in directing us to the unit even though he was not the one who checked us in . He arranged us an escort to the unit otherwise we would have lost in the Mountains.
I have never been more frustrated with a property than this place as our Expedia confirmation stated an after 5pm check in but when we got to the place the office hours were until 3pm so no one was there to check us in and no one answered the help telephone numbers on the confirm or on the office door.
Condo was very nice. Very clean and comfortable.
However the beds were hard as rocks! I had to sleep on the couch because the bed was so uncomfortable!
