We went to Ogden to hit Snowbasin to ski with the family. I've never been to Utah, my wife has, and we both had a fantastic time. The condo is really cool. It's in a mix-use building and has a neat industrial vibe... in a good way! It's a stone's throw away from a lot of cool things - breakfast spot 3 doors down that we hit up every morning, coldstone cremery just a 1/2 block down, plenty of bars (didn't really do this because we had the kids), and restaurants. There's even a train museum across the street that we went and checked out.
As for the place itself, it's well updated - appliances are new, furniture is current and not worn down, the beds were comfortable, there was coffee stocked, any kitchen stuff we'd need, and the owner had us stocked with coffee, a bottle of wine, and an amazing lemon cake waiting for us when we arrived! One cool feature that we didn't realize was there when we booked, the shower is also a steam room. We figured we'd give it a go and it was REALLY relaxing. A nice thing I would have ever looked for in a property... but it was a cool touch.
The instructions for getting in and out were straightforward. It was a little bit of a drive to the mountain but the trade-off for being close to nighttime activities was worth it.
The only downsides (and these were minor in the scheme of things)
- you're on the 3rd floor and there's no elevator so you'll have to lug things up and down. I don't mind. The exercise was good for me :). Just be aware if you're physically challenged.
- It's an old historic building so I'm sure replacing and updating windows isn't trivial. A big storm came through and the drafts in the windows had the curtains moving! They're also single pane so you get a lot of noise from the street. Fortunately, it calms down at night. Didn't bother me... it's like living in any city setting.
We had an absolutely great vacation and a big part was renting this place. Highly recommend this VRBO and we'll stay here again should we make it back.
