We had a wonderful stay! The washer and dryer in the condo is a real plus! They had a nice start up of things you need to get you by until you got to the store if you forgot to bring things. Whoever they use as cleaners are fantastic!! We spilled some water picked it up with a paper towel and there was NO dirt on the paper towel. Nice selection of pots and pans etc… The view was phenomenal! The Summit had a lot of amenities and the little restaurant on site was very reasonably priced and good! I can’t recommend RealJoy enough and already looking forward to using them again. The venue was very close to a lot of fun activities, the human maze was a blast!

Quaint and relaxing

The owners have put forth amazing efforts to make their condo feel like a home away from home. We noticed the recent updates all the way down the the crown molding and ceiling fan placement. As always, we enjoyed our stay and it’s a perfectly accommodating unit.
