I have rented several places in Steamboat over the years and this year's vacation was the BEST due to the full package. Mother Nature was good to us; the very comfy condo is in a great location; Kim the manager is extremely detail oriented in not only caring for the condo, but providing lots of detailed information about your trip from the airport, the condo complex and the town. The condo is very nice and accurately reflected in the pictures. The views were awesome. The ski locker was perfect. Kept our skis there. We carried our boots and walked to the base every day. Slightly uphill in the morning, helped by the elevator at One Steamboat Place, and perfectly downhill after a day of skiing. ( I am sure it is easier than the downhill steps in the AM and uphill steps PM to access the transportation circle). The condo is very well-stocked, especially paper products. The kitchen is a small galley, so if you need two chefs in one space this is not the condo for you. Because the kitchen is well-stocked there was limited space for groceries, but we had enough space for us for the week. We used the Wild Plum market for small grocery pick-ups, but learned quickly it is a good place to grab lunch. The mountain lodges charge approx. $17.00 for a sandwich or chili and NO sides, including fries. That might work for a day trip but not a week. The Wild Plum has sandwiches, burgers, quesadilla, for $7 and fries for $1.25. The pizza looked good but we did not try. We phoned in our lunch order at the top of the gondola, skied down, quick walk to store. They have tables for lunch. The location of the condo was as comfortable as the condo itself. The beds, furniture, showers, everything....really!
