Yes, this place is very dated and in need of repair. But dated is not the same as dirty. It was very clean and well stocked with towels. We never intended to use the kitchen, so it didn't matter that it was tiny and the appliances were old. We were there to ski, and you cannot get a better location than directly on the slopes. We had beginners, so the first day we drove down to the base (very quick drive). But once they were ready for intermediate slopes, we were able to walk out the door and start skiing. It was wonderful to have the flexibility to return to the room for water, snacks, bathroom breaks, etc. and then get back to the slopes right away. The place felt safe and had a great view from the balcony. Highly recommend renting ski gear from Highland House. Family owned and super efficient. Much better than waiting at the resort.
