Amazing location! Wonderful stay for winter ski vacations. Close to all the restaurants yet close enough to the ski lifts. Home away from home in the center of it all.

Rooms are fantastic as you are not going to get 1200sq +/- ft in a standard hotel. Full kitchen and grocery stores nearby. Dual headed shower with steam option is wonderful. You also have your own private hottub. Master bed mattress is comfortable. Staff is attentive and very friendly, but keep in mind they're remote but will send somebody down if there is an issue.

Shared laundry unit is also included

Overall, our stay at the Village Gate House was enjoyable. We had unit 201/301, which was a two bedroom and loft unit with a private hot tub. Kitchen was well equipped and the unit was quite spacious. There was a couple small things that took away from the stay however. There was no blanket for the pullout bed, which was fine as it wasn't too cold at night. Oven seemed a little weak. Hot tub was a little difficult to use, we wished it came with instructions. Also, when we got into the unit, the door on the third floor was open - this was concerning, as we found out when we checked out, there was public access to the building from the lot near blue shore financial, which defeats the purpose of the coded entry. However, overall the stay was quite enjoyable. The unit was large, had plenty of space for 8 adults, and its right in the village.

Nightmare of a stay!
Old, disgusting, smelly carpet through out the unit. Very run down and odd smelling unit. Owners/managements have no care of these unit. We stayed in one of the larges unit with Hot Tub. That did not work in our stay.

Our kids did not even want to walk in the unit and sleep in the beds. Couch was very dirty with stains.

-There is NO Air Conditioner in entire building. If you keep the windows open it is very noisy. Only some old fans. Especially at night. Noise did not end until 4am.
-Very old and run down furniture.
-Very Old and dirty dark brown carpet through the unit
-Our kids beds had bed bugs. The management did not address the issue, nor taking any responsibility. The mattresses are very old.
-There is no check-in desk. You are mainly on your own. If there are issues you they will send various repair people and you deal with them!
-The hot tub water was dirty and did not work. Repair guy was sent with no use. This was reported by many guests in review, still the issues were not resolved. We did not get to enjoy the hot tub.
-through out the unit the window coverings are falling apart...

PRO:
-Good washrooms
-Location. (if you like to be in centre of noise)

For similar price go for a hotel option. Lots of options in the area. Dont be fooled with images posted by the resort.

We were impressed at how quick and easy it was to make a reservation. We have stayed here last year and came back because we enjoyed it so much. Since it is COVID-19 time we did not need to pick up the room key in the mail office which made accessing the suite easier then the first time. The room was clean and warm with lots of towels and blankets. The kitchen was fully stocked. The only challenge was that the hot tub wasn’t working. We called the front desk and the security asked them to call us back. We had to wait until the next day to have it fixed and didn’t get a credit. The jets were still not very strong. We hope to come back again.

Love our timeshare. Perfect location within the village.
Whiskijack is on the right track in performing much needed upgrades without breaking our bank.

Wasn't impressed with lack of service and communication when we had an issue with an item in our condo. After two phone calls and three days of waiting for a response, it took an email on the fourth day to the main branch to finally get someone to fix the issue. Not good.
