Beautiful scenery and relaxing surroundings.
Pros:

The Mountain views were gorgeous. Loved the atmosphere.

Cons:

There was only a small snack shop or premises. No restaurant, so we had to go out for meals.

Very nice
Pros:

Place was very nice and well kept! Hosts were receptive, had a great time!

Cons:

Everything seems to close at 11, the only vending machine for drinks didn’t work. Parking garage is an absolute dystopian nightmare to park in.

Could be a (lot) better.
Pros:

Overall the apartments are roomy and relatively modern. The location is near several outdoor activities, from hiking to water park, etc.

Cons:

Unfortunately, as touched on in previous reviews, cleanliness is a real issue at this location (and in both of the apartments we rented). While the owner claimed that units had been serviced, we found multiple issues that were never fully esolved--these included stained sheets, dirty mattress covers with accumulated crumbs (particularly in the sofa beds) and worst of all, heavily stained towels that should have never seen the light of day. Flowers had not been cleaned appropriately as our socks quickly got dirty by just walking around the apartments. This made my family very uncomfortable throughout the stay to sleep, shower, etc. Perhaps a bigger issue with this resort, as we happened to find, by accident, small dead animals accumulating in the pool drain as well, but sincerely hoping that's a rare event.

Overall, great stay and the owners were amazing in every interaction I had with them.
Pros:

I stayed at this location for 5 days for a dance competition and here is my experience. I’ll start by saying that I booked through Booking.com and did not realize it was through a private host( I would prefer to not rent privately). With that being said, I had a really great experience and would absolutely rent again from these owners.
Pros:
•The room was really clean for the most part( there was a significant amount of mold on the shower curtain liner which is why I say for the most part but overall very clean)
• The host was extremely responsive to my messages; sense of urgency is very important to me!
•The room was stocked well enough for my whole stay( me and 2 kids for 5 days) with paper towels and toilet paper, and there was even foil, salt and pepper, and olive oil, all which came in handy!
•The instructions the host gave were phenomenal and so easy to follow- it really made everything so easy!

Cons:

Cons:
• As stated I booked with Booking.com so I am not placing blame on the host for this because I don’t know if they are even to blame, but the description of the room was a little misleading-I didn’t realize there were pictures of several different rooms all together so what was pictured isn’t necessarily what you get. This wouldn’t be a big deal except I had planned for a full size refrigerator/ freezer because I had to feed my kids all week so I specifically wanted somewhere I could bring frozen foods which brings me to my next point
• Freezer was broken throughout my stay- we did have a mini fridge with a tiny freezer so I did buy frozen food
(thankfully it was just one box of pancakes because it was too small for anything else) and the freezer just defrosted the whole box and was pushing out hot air so I did have to throw those away but again no big deal. I will say I did not message the host about this because again it was one box of pancakes so I put no blame on them as I didn’t make them aware of the situation.
•The parking garage is absolutely terrifying- It’s super dark and creepy; It was just me and my two girls so I didn’t feel super comfortable walking through there at all; thankfully there was lots of parking close to the elevator. Again this is more of a resort problem not a host problem at all.

Nice spot. Typical over priced ski lodge.
Pros:

Very easy check in and out. Beautiful room and pool set up. Beautiful view from the balcony.

Cons:

$11 for two cups of black mediocre coffee. The cashless system and whatever the heck the load noise was starting at approximately 215 am through almost 4 am.

Great!
Pros:

I had traveled from Philly to participate in the Spartan Race and the location to where the bus pick up is was perfect and within walking distances. All the instructions that both Elina & Chris provided via email on how to use everything in the room as well as all of the nearby amenities were easy to read and understand. The place itself was exceptional and I was extremely satisfied. I definitely plan on booking again next year.

Great place, location and value. Would stay again for sure.
Pros:

Great location ski and ski out. We love the outdoor hot tub and heated pool. The lobby had really cool activities for kids to do after mountain hours. The size of the room and bathroom were perfect for my 3 person family.

Cons:

There was a the bloodstain on the fitted bed sheets on the bed . Sheets and the bedding for the spare bed and the bathroom tub had loose long brown hairs.

Foi excelente
Pros:

Estar dentro da área de ski foi muito bom, pois podíamos entrar e sair, ir ao quarto descansar e voltar, almoçar no quarto. Ter lareira que ajudava a aquecer o quarto. Fácil check in e check out.

Cons:

Não ter uma vassoura ou aspirador, pois temos mania de limpeza de Brasileiros.

Clean, comfortable and attentive.
Pros:

We stayed over during a snowstorm and the staff was wonderful and attentive even considering the difficulties with the snow. The hot tubs and heated pool are great after a day in the mountain.

Cons:

We loved our stay.

unpleasant experience with third party vendor and lack of accountability from the property
Pros:

My reservation was canceled by the property

Cons:

My experience with Mountain Creek Resort through Booking.com was extremely disappointing and felt like deliberate misleading. I attempted to change my reservation dates on Dec 26. A resort employee initially confirmed it was possible and that I'd receive email confirmation. Later, I was told to go through Booking.com. Over multiple calls and emails on Dec 26-27, the resort gave conflicting information, repeatedly assured me they were handling it, and claimed my name wasn't on the check-in list so "don't worry."
By Dec 28, they suddenly said the reservation had expired and nothing could be done, refusing to provide proof of any response to Booking.com's requests or let me speak to a manager. This runaround wasted hours and resulted in losing the full cost of the booking. Poor communication, zero accountability, and what felt like intentional delays to avoid assisting. Strongly advise caution when booking directly or dealing with date changes.

Overall great first trip skiing!
Pros:

Location was convenient as it was right by the door to the slopes although that made it incredibly loud at night with people walking in and out with ski gear (not something in the host’s control). We had mostly everything we needed to make breakfast each morning. Shower pressure was great. Master bed was very comfortable.

Cons:

The pull out couch for the kids was very dirty with tons of crumbs when we arrived and we weren’t sure if the extra sheets were clean (they had a funky odor to them).
