Resort Experience:
Carriage Hills is connected to two other resorts, Horseshoe Valley and Carriage Ridge Resorts. The only bad part is, you have to check in at the Horseshoe Valley Resort, and then drive a couple miles to the Carriage Hills (walking is closer, not having to wind around the roads). Also, they wouldn't let us use the pools at the other two resort areas, and our pool wasn't very big. It was very cold, the hot tub was just lukewarm most of the time, and the workout room's air conditioner was broken, so it was at least 100 degrees in there. The did let me use the workout room at the Carriage Ridge, but they wouldn't let my kids use that pool, so it was inconvenient for me to go over there to work out and have my husband bring the kids to "our" pool.
The unit was very large and clean. We had a two-bedroom villa, which was more like two apartments. The larger had a nice fully stocked kitchen, dinette, living room with fireplace, patio, master bedroom with king bed, and bathroom with large whirlpool tub. The second "bedroom" was a connected studio apartment with a king-size bed, queen pull-out couch, TV, small table and chairs, partial kitchen, bathroom with shower, and patio. We had our own washer and dryer also. Very clean and spacious. They had an indoor/outdoor pool, hot tub, and workout room in the clubhouse. Activities, restaurant, walking paths, gas grills to use, golf courses, and skiing hills.
