We loved the quick and thorough communication from the owners, the fact that they accommodated our last-minute minute request after a large snowstorm, and the solid, new condition of the condo. The condo is a three minute drive from Hunter Mountain Ski Area, quite literally at the bottom of the hill. You can walk to several restaurants right from the front door on plowed sidewalks, saving the need to have a designated driver. ( We're so glad we drove up Thursday night for a three-day weekend to catch the traffic-less roads, line-free lifts and uncrowded slopes on Friday, and recommend you do the same! ) The cozy condo is in great condition, with country-ish views out the back, new kitchen and bathrooms, fluffy towels, and a generous supply of shower gel, hand soap, toilet paper and paper towels. The cooking basics are there, including olive oil and cooking oil, salt and pepper, and all the spices. Water is hot, showers decent. Games, puzzles, and TV with Netflix.

Minuses are few. The sofabed mattress is as dismal as nearly all sofabed mattresses are, true to its sofabed DNA, but our young daughter didn't complain. Several times we got the last parking space in the lot, once only because someone happened to be pulling out, and I wasn't sure what we would have done if there hadn't been one left for us. There are Venetian blinds but not blackout curtains; if you are the type that insists on pitch blackness during daylight hours you won't get it. And the eating area is more for breakfast and snacks than dinner if you have more than four eaters. There's a breakfast bar with four chairs and a nice coffee table where three could eat comfortably from the couch, but no dining table. None of these things bothered us one bit (but I like to be detailed in case others would be disappointed). We can easily see ourselves renting this wonderful unit again and are grateful for the wonderful stay!
