We've stayed at multiple places at Deer Valley over the years. For a group of four, this place is very hard to beat. Location is excellent, right next to Silver Lake Lodge. The picture of the Sterling lift really doesn't tell the story of how close you are. The ski valet is right outside the door and Christy's rentals are in the lobby of the building. Go outside, take a few steps to the ski valet, then walk up the hill to where you can get on Sterling. Very, very easy and convenient.
Inside, there's plenty of room. The kitchen had good supplies of seasonings and had ample amounts of silverware, dishes, etc. Nice to have an ice maker as well. The couch can sit three people comfortably and the fireplace is beautiful, but unfortunately doesn't really put out a noticeable amount of heat. The TV is set up with Roku. Having 2 1/2 baths was very helpful. Lots of closet space and drawer space as well. Washer/dryer in unit (though dryer was a bit loud) and if you need additional supplies there's a closet down the hall. One space is in the garage for parking and the elevator more or less takes you right up to the unit. Note that the entrance to the garage is right next to the Goldener Hirsch modern building, it took us a little to find it, and the spot is labelled MCP 22. The building is clearly old-ish but inside the condo was well-updated across the board.
I can only come up with a handful of improvements:
- The internet access thru AvantStay is terrible. The directions provided to get online didn't always work and it was hit/miss if we were connected. The TV works through the same connection and there were times we couldn't watch anything because the internet was bouncing. We ended up tethering to our phones for personal access or trying to pick up the Deer Valley Guest wifi connection.
- The beds were either too soft by design or need replacing. Same with the pillows. For a place this nice, the beds were a bit of a letdown. I can't say that anyone in our party really got a solid night's sleep.
- The unit is so close that you can clearly hear the beeping of the sno-cats grooming throughout the night.
- AvantStay provided a QR code that we had to scan every time we entered and exited the garage, which meant I had to pull it up on the phone every time. Either give us a card, or I suppose I could have printed it off, but still.
Overall though, we were huge fans and would definitely stay there again.
