Angel Fire Chalet

This isn't really a resort in this case. It's a free-standing cabin, which is good. 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, also good. But rustic, few amenities, and no activities and no resort. Cabin is over 2 miles from the "office," which is actually a real estate office. Apparently handles other properties. The cabin has what is described as supplies for "three days" and then you're on your own. Lots of check-in and (especially) check-out rules and penalties: fees if furniture is moved, for example, or dishes not cleaned, and in particular for trash not placed in the dumpster. BUT the dumpster is over 3 miles away. Roads around the cabin are very poor at best. Mostly dirt roads with occasional pavement. Angel Fire is a sad little retirement community pretending to be a ski resort. Residents are mostly older retirees, who don't really want improvements (like good roads). Management seems non-existent.

We took a last minute trip so basically grabbed what was available. We ended up with a 2 bedroom condo that slept 6. It was right by the shuttle drop off so it was easy to walk downstairs, grab our gear, and hop on. The unit itself had very comfortable beds, a fireplace, and a full kitchen. The 3rd bed was a Murphy bed in the living room that housed the only TV. There was no watching TV from any bed, especially if that bed was in use. TVs in each bedroom would be nice. Bathrooms did smell a bit like ****, but there was hot water. Definitely space out showers or you wouldn't have hot water. Location great Place good
