The Steamboat Grand

10/10 Excellent

"We were sad that the restaurant was closed for the season, but the room, pool, and staff made up for it. We had a wonderful stay, and hope to be back soon! One thing to note if you go in the fall is the mountain side restaurants close quite early, even on weekends."

Gravity Haus Steamboat

10/10 Excellent

"NA"

Ski-In Luxury Log Lodge w/ Hot Tub & Wild Blue Gondola Views

10/10 Excellent

"The property was amazing. The views are breathtaking. I highly recommend."

Charming Townhouse on Burgess Creek, Sauna, Winter Shuttle

10/10 Excellent

"This is a very nice property. The location in relation to town is good, the location in regards to the ski resort is excellent. Our only difficulty was in checking in. The app said our access codes would be listed when the unit was “clean and ready”. At the 4PM check in time there were no codes. I called and was told they would send the codes. By 4:15 I was forced to call again, on that call I asked verbally for the access code. By 4:25PM after we had gained entrance to the unit I finally received a text message with an access code which was of course pointless by then. Other than that we really enjoyed our stay."

Storm Meadows Spa~Ski In/Ski Out~Great Amenities

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed the space and found the rooms very comfortable. The patio has a nice view. We were fascinated by the beautiful tile in the kitchen backdrop. The dishwasher wasn’t working, we would have appreciated knowing that ahead of time. I would highly recommend this condo. The location wasn’t too far from town."

"Clean and cozy condo that was perfect for our group of seven. Beds were comfortable, everything worked well, and there was enough good seating in the living room and dining areas. Would definitely stay here again."

SKI to Lift/Walk-in 7 BEDROOMS & 10 BATHS, Hot Tub, Theater, Gym

10/10 Excellent

"This REALLY big house was especially nice for our large family. We have 5 children and four of them are married (and 4 grandchildren). Having their own rooms and bathrooms was so nice. Also, we didn't eat out much and made our own meals so having a large kitchen with three sinks and 2 dishwashers was amazing! There were some struggles with Wi-Fi but those got sorted out (thanks for taking care of that). Also, I wish the entire house was air conditioned, but it is not. There were parts of the house that had AC so there was some relief in parts of the house during the hot afternoons. One thing I would recommend, is checking all the windows and the openers on the windows. It looks like over the years some of these have been broken. Overall, our stay was FANTASTIC AND SO FUN and we enjoyed ourselves immensely. Thanks for taking such good care of us. To all future vacationers, take the "active bear" warnings seriously!! DO NOT leave food outside or food in your cars and lock your doors. We saw bears almost every day and one even sat on our patio while our daughter in law was making homemade Runza's (a Nebraska thing). :) It was sniffing around and drooling - don't worry, we didn't give it one. :) Thanks again for everything!"
