  : The garage parking was nice. I can see why another review mentioned issues with the parking permit - it's a generic vacasa hang tag with the unit# but not specific to vehicle or dates - we didn't have any issues though. Access to the snowflake lift can't be beat. The walking trails alongside it are also a nice perk. The free bus system has a stop right outside the complex. 10 minute walk downhill to main St. The location is definitely the main selling point of this unit. Other reviews have mentioned lack of cleanliness but everything appeared clean to us and we had no issues other than no dishwasher detergent.
  : Same access code for everything including the unit door. Surely the complex has multiple entry codes, right? I didn't love the thought of the entire complex having the access code to our unit. Layout is strange with a half bath in a different room than the tub/sink. The unit is basically an elongated studio apartment. 4 people would be...snug No AC and one exterior window, beige walls, dim lights, feels dark and gloomy. The unit warmed up to the low 70s with heat off, which was about the same as outside high temperature. I think it could get hard to sleep in warmer summer weather (a box fan was in the closet so maybe that's enough). It is not a relaxing place to return to. Though the creek hidden in the bushes outside the window does sound nice. Two humidifiers in the closet, they were much appreciated in the dry mountain air. Walls are thin. You'll hear the water pipes every time a nearby unit flushes the toilet or runs the shower. Construction is ongoing right outside this unit. Noise until 7pm some nights. Banging (hammer?) until 9pm another. Plan to step around ladders and extension cords until they finish (looks like a month+ project) The outdoor hot tub was closed due to the construction.
