  Short little stay in a cute cabin...

  Left on 02/10/2012 for a stay in December 2011
  
  

  Surprising how many people were able to fit in this unit. We had almost 10 in our group. Staff is great and accommodating.
  
  Lots of sleeping areas -- comfy, warm and clean. Living/dining/kitchen area a little small to comfortably accommodate the number of people this unit can sleep. But a for a 2-night trip, that works fine for us.
  
  Several issues - broken door locks and unusable washer and dryer. Unit is very dated and rather tired, especially carpet and couches. Needs a facelift, for sure.

  We enojoyed reading during the rainstorm in this coozy cabin. The kids had plenty of room to hang out. This is our third visit to this cabin and we continue to enjoy its location and convenience to skiing, snow shoe and cross country trials. This is a magical spot.

  Great location, terrible condition/management

  Left on 01/11/2011 for a stay in January 2011
  
  

  Location was amazing, but the condition of the property was poor. The down stairs bathroom sink leaked water and it sounded like the person above you was going to fall through the ceiling when they walked. I moved to a bunk bed upstairs for the second night to avoid the mess in the downstairs bathroom and noise. Management then harassed me about not paying for extra guests due to using multiple beds and my credit card was charged an additional $86. So be fair warned….pick a bed and stick with it because you are apparently charged for every item you use in the rental home. I thought $250 dollars a night might at least get you a rental in fair condition, but I was wrong. I will not rent from this company again, but Government Camp and the condo location was superb! There are plenty of other great resort and Government Camp now with comparable prices and in much better condition.

  We found the Edelweiss an oddly shaped space. It suited our needs, but given the overall square footage, we found the kitchen/living/dining area a bit cramped.

  Mostly we enjoyed the stay.
  The cleanliness of the unit was questionable. One look under the beds and one can see that the last time there was a vacumn there was in the last century.
  There was also some hard, late night partying going on with other residents. I had to speak with them about our diametrically opposed schedules. But that part is not your fault. And no one was badly injured in the ensuing melee.

  The stay was pleasent but there were condoms in a bedroom drawer that my daughter got into. When I notified them about that they were in denial they were stating that they found nothing so in a sense I was lying! That is unprofessional and offensive. My daughter seemed to have some infection which I can't say for sure what it is until she goes to the family doctor. Will be in touch.

  Nice place. I enjoyed it. But there were some minor things that should have been taken care of prior to our arrival such as NO lights working and chair broken. These were promptly repaired but calls had to be made to take care of that could have otherwise been avoided had the unit been inspected prior to our arrival. Other than that, we all enjoyed ourselves.

  There are lots of tall trees all around the condo complex, so not as much sunlight will come in. And you stayed in Government Camp in the middle of summer, when the ski and snowboard camps are at their busiest. If you are young and energetic and love snow sports, the buzz is for you. But if you prefer a quieter vacation, we recommend staying in the lower villages of Rhododendron, Zigzag, Welches or Brightwood.

  Evaluation of Edelweiss # 5 March 25-28

  Left on 04/14/2009 for a stay in March 2009
  
  

  Overall the property was quite satisfactory. It was well eqquipped with very usable and plentiful ad good linens. On the first daywe had a problem with the upstairs bathroom drain being partially plugged so that the tub did not drain during a shower. One my sons unplugged the drain primarily hair, so the ladies would take a shower without standing in water. Someone should check this drain periodically. To me the overall price seemed a little steep for the quality of the accomadations, but I am not familiar with equivalent facilities or newer faciltries and the price range of such facilitie. We had an enjoyable family stay.

  James A.'s review of Edelweiss #5

  Left on 02/25/2009 for a stay in February 2009
  
  

  I would probably not recommend this property do to the fact it was fairly pricey and yet other than the fact there was snow out side there was no reason. It was decent but not nice. Reading the folder, everything is a $25 charge. The warning about the poor plumbing and then the threat of a $25 minimum charge if you can't get it to work is lame. Someones car alarm was perpetually going off through the evening. Not the end of the world. Out of concern I called the after hours number left a message and received a call back in which the woman seemed nice enough. Yet in her greeting I was told. "Even though this isn't an emergency I decided to call you back." I don't even remember what exactly we paid. I think it was to the tune of $279 dollars a night. For a mediocre apartment at best except with an overtone of doing anything out of line earns you a $25 dollar min. fine.
  In the end, it served a purpose with nothing exceptional to speak of.

  We loved the condo and the location was perfect. We towed our kids on a sled everywhere! Having small kids, they played in all 3 bunk beds on the 2nd floor. We were then charged an additional cleaning fee of $150 to make the additional beds, even though they weren't used. The property management company was very inflexible on this point. I understand extra cleaning for extra cleaning, but that was equivalent to $50/bed. I can't imagine they are paying their cleaning crew that much.

  While I appreciate the customer service, the condo was not worth that price. It was difficult to locate light switches and the ground floor toilet made noise 24 hours...enough to keep people awake through the nite.

  We really liked our lodging... the only slight inconveniences were 1) we had to drive 10 miles past to pick up our key, and 2) it was very difficult finding our suite in the dark as the numbers were spotty. Otherwise nice service and nice place!

  We couldn't reach anyone at the office to announce we would arrive later, because there was only a 800-number on the papers we received. Later, the office people recognized this was indeed the management's fault. Still, we managed to arrive at 6 pm, but the office was already closed and again we were not able to reach anyone. Even the owner of the opposite gasstation tried to reach someone she knew, but it didn't work. We were therefore forced to book 2 rooms in the nearby resort. When we claimed back the first night, your office clerck was very impolite and refused. Thus we paid the full rental sum, although it was clear we tried to follow all your procedures! I often plan itineraries in the States for friends and family and friends of family and you can surely unerstand your properties will never be offered in future travels of ourselves and the people I book for!
