The bed was cozy, the shower had great water pressure, and the whole space felt fresh and inviting. The location is perfect, close to the lake, Heavenly Village, and plenty of restaurants, yet still quiet enough to relax after a busy day.

Very nice room but on the cold side.

Room was very clean and adequate however I was cold while sleeping. The bathroom was even colder. In fact, it was so cold in the bathroom. I was unable to take a shower. It would be solves if the owners would put a heat lamp in the bathroom, the heater in the front room is adequate, but the heat does not travel around the corner into the bathroom and into the shower area. Also, the bed was very comfortable, but there was no blanket available on the bed just a light comforte. So my husband was warm bd toasty on his side next to heater. My side next to sink area nd bathroom was not warm enough even sleeping with my sweatpants and sweater. it would be nice if the management would provide a blanket as only a light bedspread type covering. Other than that, the room was very nice clean and comfortable.

The toilet didn't work well, there is a blockage that is not allowing the tank to fill and took more than 15 minutes to fill, so if more than one person stays in that room, they can only flush the toilet once in a 1/2 hour...
