Avis Luxury 1-Bedroom at Topnotch Resort! Perfect for Small Families or a Romantic

This property was perfect! It’s absolutely beautiful inside and out. The location is great and easy to find as well as the instructions for the property were simple and clear. The hosts were very kind and accommodating and the property had everything you would need for a cozy weekend. We will definitely be coming back, hopefully soon!

Property was located in a great location on Mountain Road. Access to the resort amenities was a bonus.

Appreciate the communication by text with the management company, which made things very easy. They were diligent about snow removal as we had several snowstorms during our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed the time and appreciate the company.

Great small, quiet condo in a conveniently close location to skiing. The only negative is that use of the pool/hot tub are an extra cost.

Fantastic stay - great property, great location, great management!

Walk out basement condo closest to resort and its pools, hot tub outdoors as well as the spa. Quiet enough to keep slider open and enjoy babbling brook noise. Bed is quite firm but not uncomfortable. 2 smalls frigs, no microwave. Recommend to stay.

PRO: -very clean unit, really comfortable pillows/bed -5 min drive to mountain -stocked kitchen, looked recently renovated -closest condo to walk to the pool/dinner, main resort. 1-2min walk -resort robes for the pool/spa provided in condo -pool/spa great facility, both an indoor and outdoor pool and hot tub, facility supply plenty of towels, showers, change rooms -restaurant needs reservation but u can sit at bar to eat, have a drink /get kids take out food while the kids (if old enough , ours 10) to hang out down the hallway in this arcade, activity room ( free air hockey, games etc) -You can order at the restaurant a smores kit to go out to the firepit to make them CONS -not sure if it was mentioned that the amazing pool/spa facility is $35 a day for a 1 bedroom unit, this covered our whole family of 4 -it is advertised right, perfect for couples or small family, it is tight with two kids almost 11 but we made it work with the pull out couch. -there is no real freezer. the kitchen has a mini fridge and also one in the bedroom but it has only the little flap for ice and does not keep ice cream frozen. you can't really fit anything in the freezer -it is a basement unit, but built into a hill so the window in the bedroom is at ground level looking at the tires of cars, but the living room and entrance is on a ground level. (due to hill) with that being said when you look outside from the couch its the woods which is very pretty with the falling snowing and fireplace. Little kids could step out to make snowmen. So for us we did prefer it. -note about stowe mt, u can drive to some parking lots to get a free shuttle but seemed like a pain to us. If you park and its the holiday or weekend it's $35 a day although they give coupon codes if you have 4 people in your car and then u park for free. -keep your receipts of payments, got a ticket even though we paid. overall we were very pleased with the condo, location to pool, on site facilities, distance to ski. would recommend it.

The space was far from luxury. It definitely felt like a back basement apartment. Not much natural lighting. Back door to get in and out had a very challenging lock which makes it a complete hazard if needing to escape from a fire. No directions were listed on how to use fireplace, which is the only way to hear front room (living room, galley kitchen). When management got back to us about it, the thermostat wasn’t working properly for the fireplace. Had to almost play around with tv remote batteries to get it to operate, but they were not the right type (AA vs AAA). We got it to work by essentially popping off the cover of thermostat. Bathroom was quite small and definitely on the older side, but worked just fine, and included all the necessary linens. Although, the products they’ve chosen for toiletries were horrendous—I’d rather use straight water. We ended up purchasing our own soaps, trash bags, and laundry detergent, which we left there for next guests. The sheet in the bedroom had a big stain on it and pillows smelled a bit dank… like living in a basement. There is not a real fridge in the unit, instead there are two hotel-like fridges, so not super conducive if you’ve decided to do lots of cooking and making iced beverages during your stay. The backyard was great, with lots of space, but no salt was available to de-ice the back patio/walkway and steps leading to the parking lot. Took over 24 hours to get some to throw down ice melt so that we and our 21 month old were not slipping when trying to go out on the town. Also, this made it unsafe and challenging when trying to load the vehicle with our luggage, cooler, etc. The amenities at Top Notch are definitely not included, but I feel like that is not very explicit in the listing. You can use the pool, but must pay a daily fee. Renting this unit does not provide you with a fob to enter freely into the resort. Perhaps for those skiing all day and looking for less to no luxury, this property might be right. However, my family and I will not be staying here again. This review is not to tarnish a small business, but simply to inform others who might consider the same things we do. Again, this may be completely perfect for some other travelers, just not for us.

Wonderful stay

We had a lovely time. It was the perfect size oasis for my small family. It was clean, well stocked, and close to the pool at the resort. Plus we were surprised by a quite sweet gift bag with local treats in the area.
