Luxurious retreat in the heart of the action

We stayed in this condo for 6 days as the first part of a longer honeymoon in mid-December. With such an important occasion for us we and only pictures from a website to go on we were understandably nervous but as soon as we walked in we knew there was nothing to worry about. Park Avenue Lofts was everything we had hoped for and more.

We didn't want to stay at a hotel as we really wanted a mountain retreat where we could be alone and snuggle up in comfortable surroundings in front of a big fire. We originally planned to go to a traditional log cabin but wanted the best of both worlds and upon realising that they were all a bit far out of town (we didn't want to hire a car) we went for Park Avenue Lofts - it was everything we had hoped for and more. There were only two of us but this well-equipped and comfortable two-storey apartment could easily have accomodated six - it was huge!

We instantly felt at home and not like we were staying in someone elses place. Everything was in excellent condition and very clean with no signs of wear and tear. There were enough personal touches to be cosy and inviting but not so many that it was overbearing. The best part was the little touches of luxury throughout that made everything feel very special - from the marble tops in the bathroom and kitchen, to the fireplace that roared into flames at the touch of a button on the wall and of course the jetted tub and big separate shower. The piece de reistance was the private balcony with a fab hot-tub! I'm not sure we'd have got through the week so pain-free without it!

The apartments are literally across the road from the skiing area, with hire-shops, ski-school, food and of course the lifts and it was just a one minute stroll to Main Street for bars, restaurants and shopping.

If you want to be pampered and looked after book a hotel but if you want a laid-back relaxing time with friends, family or loved-ones there is nowhere better in Breck than Park Avenue Lofts.
