We loved our stay! The condo was even nicer than the pictures, hosts were extremely responsive and the location was walkable to everything in town and an easy drive to all of the hikes we wanted to do.
10 / 10Outstanding·Mar 2026
The condo was very clean upon arrival and check in was very easy. Host communicated very well and provided tips about the area to make our trip more enjoyable. The king bed is one of the more comfortable beds I’ve slept in while traveling. We did have to move things a bit to access outlets to charge devices near the beds, but nothing major that we couldn’t manage. The pool was closed and actively being worked on during our stay, which I don’t think the host was aware of. We did see a couple bears on the property as they are just starting to come out for spring, they didn’t bother us at all. Overall a great location and very quiet. The trolley stop at the bottom of the hill/driveway is a great way to get down to town. We highly recommend utilizing the trolley system, and hopefully you’ll get to meet the driver Ruthie. She’s a riot.

I had hoped to spend time by the pool, but it was raining. I walked through downtown, eating good food. I sat on the balcony and had two close bear sightings with one walking over to my balcony and looking up. I relaxed in a clean, comfortable, beautifully decorated home. These were the things I actually needed. I didn’t miss the pool.

My plan of three days by the pool was thwarted by the weather, and I’m glad. Instead, I strolled in downtown and watched the rain from the balcony. I was thrilled to see a bear on two of my nights. One came to the balcony and looked up at me. The apartment was perfect…clean, beautifully decorated, and comfortable. The host…perfect!I loved every minute and didn’t miss swimming at all.
