This townhouse has one of the best views of the mountains - and a great ski-in and ski-out location. As a result, it is secluded from any "resort like activities, and causes difficulty if you don't have a car - as food and supplies are not accessible through an easy walk (1.6 miles each way). However, I cannot speak highly enough of the private shuttle service that always did their best to accommodate us and the property management through iTrip. Making reservations in advance is key. We wish there was a local bus perhaps that ran until 10pm (to at least the Gondola base area) so that we could night ski and get groceries and go to restaurants without having to reserve in advance. In addition, we did report a few problems, and iTrip took care of them immediately.
The interior of the place is very tired- doesn't insulate from noise well (if you are sleeping downstairs you will hear walking on main level) - and looks shabby for the price that is being charged - we expected a lot more given other places (outside of Steamboat) we have stayed. For our experience in Steamboat, it is about average. Nonetheless, the kitchen is well equipped with dishes, glassware, pots & pans, utensils, and great for cooking at home ... note that there are no spices, or things that sometimes accompany short term rentals. If you are there to ski - and don't care about going to town, it is perfect. It is very isolating for non-skiers.
All in all, our rating is a "3" based upon the accommodations themselves - the management organization deserves 5 stars.
