Meadows, mountains, and more - Ski in/out - Meadow Grove at the Terraces

We have rented from Elevation Vacations for approximately four or five years. The service and accomodations have been stellar. We are a small family with two children. The Terraces location is literally ski in and ski out -- perfect for a family with children. Instead of heading to the lodge or crowded restaurants, we ski up to the patio of our condo and enjoy lunch or a cup of cocoa in front of the pretty gas fireplace and then head back out. Terraces #1101 has a large master bedroom and a rather small bedroom with a bunkbed right off the kitchen. It has two very nice bathrooms and a modern kitchen. The great room furniture is lovely and very comfortable. The grill was great as well. Terraces, in our opinion, is much nicer than a cramped hotel room. Also, we were very close to the chondola and the center of Mountain Village. Also, Elevation Vacations service was amazing. When we arrived, we discovered that the very necessary coffee pot was missing even though one had always been there in the past. Elevation delivered one the next morning with a pound of freshly ground coffee beans -- nice touch! We highly recommend Terraces #1101 as well as Elevation Vacations.

While the condo itself was nice, it was misrepresented as a two bedroom/queen beds in both rental. Upon arrival, we found a very nice master bedroom. The 2nd bedroom was actually an office with a murphy bed. But it gets better - the murphy bed couldn't be pulled out because a set of children's bunk beds was in the room. There was barely enough room to get around the beds and they were small and rickety. There was no closet space in the "bedroom" and the doors were bifold doors - definitely not private. Their answer was to bring a blow up bed to put in the living room. Unacceptable. No other accommodations were available to change due to the popular bluegrass festival. Also misrepresented was the distance/walking time to the gondola. It turned out to be a 30 minute hike over a mountain on a very primative path. Definitely not suitable for concert goers with chairs and gear.

We enjoyed our week long stay at Terrances. We found the condo clean and the lay out very nice. We were surprised to find that the 2nd bedroom did not have a solid interior door but rather bi-fold doors. This was somewhat ackward as we had one early riser who needed to mindful of the noise level. The gondola is great, never needed the car except for activities off site. Staff from the complex were polite and helpful. Drivers of the shuttles were friendly and gave good tips for things to check out.

It is a very nice condominium, location is perfect and as mentioned above the service by Elevation Vacations was perfect. We are certainly hoping to get back here. The only thing we have to check is whether it is still affordable. Last winter we went in January which is relatively cheap. This year we have to go during spring break. But if it is still affordable, we certainly should like to go back.
