Settler's Crossing: President's Week 2015
Tracy from Carnation, United States
Date: Feb-23-2015 for a stay in Feb 2015
This was our 2nd visit to Sun Peaks, but 1st visit to this condo. We enjoyed our stay in this condo at Sun Peaks. The location was perfect as the ski out/ski in was steps away from the front door. Parking was primo as it was at a height of 7'6 which accommodated our car with Thule on top. It was a spacious unit with many amenities. The hot tub was a great feature after a long day of skiing. We will definitely be back next year.

Settlers Crossing Dec 2014
Victoria from Derby, United Kingdom
Date: Jan-09-2015 for a stay in Dec 2014
We rented this condo for 16 nights from Dec 15th. The good things about this condo: 1. The location is excellent for ski out to Morrisey and ski in from East Village Ski Way, literally out of the front door, a few steps and onto the ski run. 2. The condo feels large and has been furnished in the past to a high standard. 3. There are lots of DVDs, an X box, items for younger children. 4. The hot tub is amazing, excellent jets, lights and a beautiful private location. 5. The owners provided Christmas lights for the balcony, a small Christmas tree and a few Christmas decorations. 6. The lady who services the property answered my call immediately when I had a problem and visited within 30 minutes. 7. Large parking spot in the heated garage. 8. Large cupboard for storing skis just by the front door. The following things were not to my satisfaction: 1. The sheets were washed but badly stained and discoloured. 2. The mattress protectors were disgusting and clearly were rarely washed. 3. The tumble dryer had a hole in the door, causing it to take 4 hours to dry a load of washing. 4. The property needs a deep clean - kitchen cupboards were dirty, the sofa was covered in dog hair, food crumbs were under the cushions, blinds covered in dust, mould around the bath. The counter tops and bathrooms were surface clean. 5. I phoned the owners 3 times on the 1st evening and following morning and they did not answer my call. The owner did email and phone after the service company chased them up. 6. Although the condo is not pet friendly, the owner has a dog (dog bowl & toy in the condo and dog hair everywhere !) In response to my complaint they purchased new bed linen and sent it up to Sun Peaks, it arrived mid way through our stay. They offered cleaning support by the service company but by this time we had already spent time doing it ourselves. We patched the tumble dryer door with cardboard and it is now operating more effectively. My understanding is that the owner is not replacing the tumble dryer so I presume our cardboard repair will stand. The owner did provide a small level of compensation refunded with my deposit. This condo could be amazing, a really thorough clean, a few minor repairs, a new washer/ dryer and leave the dog at home. It lacks tender loving care.
