Ski in and Ski out right to the doorstep. With a private hot tub on the deck.

A great ski-in/ski-out option, where from the top of the little ridge behind the apt (about 3m uphill from the hot tub) you can ski directly down to the Village, Gondola, Comet, and/or Silverwoods or go the the other direction to Alpine Meadows. There can't be more than a dozen other properties on the mountain situated liked that, including some of the other ones at Pinnacles, where your unit is on the wrong side of the building and not a true ski-in/ski-out. Host was amazing and super communicative and helpful. Unit had everything we could want, including a legit sharp chef's knife (most knives at rentals are barely usable). Our homemade chili was all the better for it! Tons of helpful hooks for wet ski gear, and a boot heater! The unit is part of the original hotel at Silverstar from the 1970s(ish?), so this does mean that it also has original soundproofing, which is the one negative. Bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper. Otherwise, perfection for a ski vacation.

The property was as described in the listing and had everything we needed for a ski-in/ski-out holiday. The property manager was very responsive when we had a minor issue that needed to be resolved. I would definitely stay here again.

Great place, great skiing, looking forward to next year

Shannon is a good host, very responsive. But pinnacles is an older lodge without garage parking (not clear from VRBO listing) so car will be out in the cold for days, a problem for Subaru’s OEM batteries. The real issue though: Silverstar staff/property management was generally unhelpful & uncaring. On arrival, Shannon's unit had a plumbing issue and they switched us to a roadside unit with heavy footed people above and a neighbor who liked their TV extra loud. They said that Shannon’s slope side unit will be fixed by 2pm next day, so we cut our skiing short to move. They called ~3pm saying unit was fixed, but door code lock wouldn’t open. When notified, the receptionist just said “it should work, plumbers used it all day”. We again tried the door code several times later after we got back from tubing. And the lock box with physical key was jammed. It was only when I showed the staff in-person next day that she believed me. She had not even bothered to try when we first reported the problem but expected us to somehow move. Marty changed the locks 2 days later but took ski locker key with him, we were unable to snowshoe that day. Then the hot tub broke down, water wouldn’t heat. Silverstar hot tub person came and was quick to blame us for the filter blocking water intake but real issue was low water level (maintenance issue) and we couldn’t use the tub that day. The series of deferred maintenance issues and poor attitude of Silverstar staff left us with a bad taste, but YMMV.
