47 was an awesome condo, it have everything we could have needed or wanted. A short walk to the village and a really short walk to the lofts. The place was really clean and well furnished. We had a great time at sun peaks and would love to come back. The hot tub was a great touch!

Close enough to the Village to be convenient, and far enough to be quiet and peaceful.
