Our family loves this place for breakfast and lunch. Portion sizes are plenty, kids get to stay occupied by coloring and the service has always been great.

What a cool place to grab a drink. My husband loves their Old Fashioned and I love "the Jives" or a mojito. They have a few seats outside, great for people watching or sit inside and enjoy the atmosphere. When we have the kids with us, we love that Montaya's serves popcorn and small plates.

Mexican dishes with modern twists. Our kids love the chips and salsa, nachos and their fajitas are wonderful. The seating is plentiful inside and has a great atmosphere. We usually get a booth and their margaritas. My favorite, now hear me out is the one made with beet juice! Crazy I know but it is so delicious. I don't even like beet juice!

Great pizza names with a bohemian vibe. Along with wings, salads, appetizers, and really yummy margaritas, this place is also worth a visit. They do not have an outside patio or bar but they make up for it with their large inside seating.

They are all made in-house so even though you wait a bit longer the burgers are awesome! The fries are also great as is the cute setting you can hang out in and wait. It connects to the bar next store if you do not have kids with you, you can go enjoy a drink while you wait for your food.

A great place located on the back side of the Elevation hotel. They have a great seating area along with a huge firepit to enjoy. Top-of-the-shelf margaritas are great as are the apps. A great spot to enjoy easy eats and people-watching as you are right at the bottom of the mtn.

Take 1/2 or a full day and go white water rafting on the Taylor River. Located in Almont about 20 minutes from our condo. You can do anything from beginner to advanced. I went with a few girlfriends a few years back and it was such a great memory still to this day that we talk about.

If you have kids, they will love this short get-away for a few hours. My kids love the pool and the climbing wall the best! They have an option to buy a day pass which works great.

The town shuttle is the fastest way to get around

The Town Shuttle is a free shuttle that goes from the far end of town up to the mtn. From our condo, the easiest way to get the shuttle is in the town square across the footbridge.
Qué empacar

Bring slippers, house shoes or thick house socks

We have hardwood floors and tile throughout the condo which can be chilly in the winter. We ask that you PLEASE take your outside shoes off and place them on the shoe rack in the entryway before walking around the house. Thanks!
