Nice Condo
The condo is exactly how it looks in the photos. It is a little out dated, but that was also part of the reason for picking this place as it is not as fancy as others in the complex. The carpets are dingy and a couple of chairs were broken (stool at the upstairs bar and patio chair outside) but those things did not deter us from having a pleasant stay. The location is great with awesome views. Easily accessible for hiking, close to the river and walking distance to local tourist areas on the main drag. The pool at the condo was a huge bonus.

Convenient to Town
This was a quick drive to the main street with shops and restaurants. We had an issue with no heat when we first arrived and they responded and handled it immediately. The condo is a bit tired and could use some new bedding and pillows, but is affordably priced and fit our needs!

Home don’t meet our needs
The home didn’t work for a family of 10. There was nowhere to gather to eat or visit. The home is very dated. Unfortunately we had to find alternative accommodations for our family vacation. We canceled the day of arrival.

Great place to get together
Thanksgiving gathering was enjoyable and had plenty of space. Only downside was the beds need new mattresses. However, the townhouse has everything you need from play equipment to crockpots.

The view and location are good.
The online photos are old and do not depict the current conditions. We enjoyed the balcony with beautiful views. The appliances, plumbing and electricity worked very well except for the minor issue with the dishwasher. The dishwasher soap pods need to be tossed into the dishwasher just prior to running it, otherwise the pods stick to the dispenser and don't release the soap. One of the TVs did not work and was not hooked up for service. We did not use the grill. The owner of the property is very nice, attentive and helpful. We were impressed with the ample amount of kitchen dishes, pots, pans, small and large appliances. We did not meet the property manager but with a long list of requests, only 2 were addressed by employees before our week stay ended. Way too much of family time was wasted on fixing or adjusting for the other problems that were not addressed. The pool table edges are brittle and the darts need replacements. We strongly suggest taking your own pillows and possibly your own blankets. No one in the family found the beds comfortable! We felt the mattresses and box springs need replacement as well as the worn out and dirty pillows. After we washed a couple of the bedspreads and blankets, then they were acceptable. There are only a few hours between renters for the cleaning crew(s) to attend the rentals. This is a 3 story condo that could be great again with timely maintenance and sufficient cleaning time. Prior water damage to the walls.

Update Needed
Needs a lot of updates. Mattresses are very old in all rooms and you roll to the middle. Top floor was hot even with thermostat, which is on the bottom of 3 floors, was turned down to 65°. Needs a mini split a/c unit for top floor. We didn't sleep well and stayed hot in the main area. A few weeks of rental money put back in the unit would make this a great place to stay.

Great getaway!
This is the best location. Hiking, swimming, climbing, sports all there at the condo. The fire lookout tower was one of by husbands fondest memories beginning his FF career, the the hike there being east was great. And less than a mile from midtown. Everyone was very happy and comfortable. The large game room was a huge hit. Three two 9 year old grandsons said “this place is the sickest!” That meant they really liked it and they’re pretty picky. Thank you all!

Everything needs an update. Very old decor from the 70s. Nice space but definitely needs a remodel. House was too hot… even after lowering the temperature.

Condo Rental
The condo needs more maintenance and needs a deep clean. The condo had a grill and did not work. The garbage disposal did not work the water got backed up on the sink. The kitchen trash can was dirty. The door on the game room did not want to close. The master bedroom had trouble flushing. Spider and spider web in the ceiling. The kitchen table was a wobbly. The pillows smelled like they haven’t been washed. One chair on the bar was broken it was missing a bolt. The internet was slow. The balcony side rail felt loose and the vertical wood could be move sideways. It needs plenty of repairs.

Mountain getaway
We absolutely loved the location not this property. So close to downtown and shopping. It is a very steep drive and the parking is as well so be prepared for that. The game room was an added bonus. The only suggestions I would make is to update the furniture. The couches were not comfortable at all and table looks like it has been fixed for the last time. We would absolutely stay again!
