About this apartment rental
Unwind in comfort and style at The Blue Engineer, one of the largest and most inviting condos in the Lodge at Tamarron Resort (Lodge Suite #515). Nestled on the top floor and north end of the Lodge building—same building with the heated pool, hot tub, and fitness center—this spacious mountain retreat offers stunning views of iconic Engineer Mountain.
This beautifully appointed 2-bedroom + loft, 2-bath condo blends mountain charm with modern convenience. The full kitchen is stocked with all the appliances and cookware you need to feel right at home. Gather in the cozy living area, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame sweeping mountain vistas and an electric fireplace adds a touch of warmth to chilly evenings.
The main level features two comfortable bedrooms: a serene King suite with breathtaking views of Engineer Mountain, and a welcoming Queen bedroom perfect for guests or kids. Upstairs, a charming loft with two Twin beds provides a cozy nook for younger travelers or extra friends. Additional amenities include a washer/dryer and high-speed Wi-Fi (100+ Mbps), making this retreat as practical as it is peaceful.

Prefect for a family of five. Plenty of room and has everything you need to cook meals. The views are awesome and my kids had a great time exploring the area around the resort.

Reviewer Comments:
It was fine. Nothing great, but nothing terrible. Light bulbs were out in our room. The dishwasher barely cleaned the dishes. The tile (especially in the shower floor) were actually kind of painful to walk on with bare feet. The worst part is that room key after room key kept malfunctioning so we had to get new keys probably 5 or 6 times.
