IMPORTANT-
WIFI AND TV SERVICE ISSUES — Comcast TV and WiFi are unreliable in the mountains - we have no control over it. Sometimes we have intermittent service issues. Sometimes you’ll lose cell phone service for a length of time. Usually it resolves itself after a few hours or maybe half a day. We do NOT offer a refund or discount if there are issues with tv cable or Wifi 😀.
It is common to lose cell phone service for a few hours in the mountains.
NO ELEVATORS in the entire complex of buildings.
NO AIR CONDITIONING - No units in our condo complex have air conditioning and most condos and homes in the mountains do NOT have or need air conditioning because of the dry mountain breeze and low humidity. It is very cool at night and cool in the morning. We have a couple fans in the unit.
POOL- there is an ALL-day pass fee of $5 kids or $10 adults to use the pool, hot tubs and exercise room across the street. The fee is for an entire day.
