The initial impression of the overall property is that it's older and in somewhat disrepair due to it's age. To start, there isn't a drop off area for luggage and gear so you just have to sort of stop in front of the parking garage door and dump everyone off and then find a place to park (since we had a car top carrier, we couldn't get into the parking garage without removing it). We parked in the lot which wasn't being monitored since it was the summer - suspect others won't be as lucky once ski season hits.
Upon entering the building, we were met with debris and leaves in the stairwells, old carpet, strange smells and a small dog barking at us thru one of the condo doors. Once inside the unit, it was fine and we were actually surprised to see three bedrooms plus a bonus room with a pull out couch. Maybe we missed it in the description but we had plenty of room for five of us.
There is no 'regular TV' in the unit which is fine since we have Youtube TV. Unfortunately the main TV in the family room is not smart enough to use Youtube TV or allow for streaming - so you are forced to watch Netflix. Our small TV in the master BR had Youtube TV. You can buy a 65" smart TV for about $350 that has every option possible - no reason the owners shouldn't invest in that at this point.
The refrigerator in the kitchen's ice and water dispenser is broken - I emailed the owner/rental agency via VRBO but never heard back. I just poured ice into a bucket and kept it in the freezer.
The patio is very small and not really usable. The ledge is very high so the only way to enjoy it would be to sit on the two tall bar height chairs which we didn't do. The owners had a pile of old sleds and other stuff out there that took up 1/4 of the space and would have made using the grill a pain. It's cool that you can hear the stream running.
Overall the convenience of staying so close to the village was great and we weren't at the condo all that much other than in the evenings when some of those issues addressed above became a small problem. We had plenty of room and it was great that thew allowed our dog (Labrador) to stay with us. We understand that allowing dogs really limited our options and were so happy to find a place that did - far more important than the inconveniences we experienced.
Copper Mountain is definitely not an 'elite' ski hill compared to other options in the area so you get what you pay for. Overall we did enjoy our stay in Copper.
