Timberline Condominiums

3

We took our family here and the place was great. The unit we stayed in was very clean. The daily cleaning service was great and very helpful when you are trying to get going in the morning and don't want to have to deal with a clean up after your day skiing. The pool and hot tubs are new and were very good.

Timberline is no luxury hotel but is very convenient. It has more of a lodge-like feel, but with a slopeside price. There are 2 free private Timberline cars that will take you all over Snowmass Village and as far as the Aspen airport. The Snowmass mall is about 3 blocks down the hill--walking there is not a problem, but walking up is hard on non-altitude acclimated lungs! There is also free all you can want coffee/tea/hot cocoa near the front desk and a sitting lounge. There's an outdoor heated pool and hot tub, which were used frequently by guests (opens in the afternoon). Small fitness center not used as much. Coed steam room was nice--separate shower/changing rooms. There is also a new restaurant upstairs, Garnish. Although it's gotten good reviews, we did not find it so great --it was overpriced with mediocre food and a LOOOOOng wait even with reservations. It was fine for apres ski. We stayed in a studio on the first floor near the front desk. We would leave our skis on the porch and walk out to the slope and ski right out. We didn't even bother going to other Aspen mountains since it was so convenient to ski Snowmass. There is a small kitchenette, which was a major draw--2 burner electric stove, toaster, crock pot, pressure cooker and a few pots/pans and cooking utensils, full sets of dishes and eating utensils, microwave, coffee maker (no oven), small sink, small fridge. We had breakfast there every morning before hitting the slopes, came back for lunch, and cooked dinner half the days were there. The bathroom is pretty tight, even for small people, but there's a tub shower. The bed was really rock hard but the bedsheets/blankets are nice. Sofa pullout and small kitchen table for 2 and TV with cable were all fine. The walls are very thin and I often was awoken by neighbors who sounded like they were just talking.
