BUTTERMILK SKI RESORT
BUTTERMILK SKI RESORT ACCOMMODATIONS
1. RENT A CONDO OR RENTAL HOUSE INSTEAD OF A HOTEL ROOM.
Buttermilk ski resort condo prices run slightly higher than hotel rooms, but
over a week’s stay you’ll save big on meal expenses. A family of four can
easily save $25 or more by eating breakfast at the condo and even more at
lunch.
2. BRING ALONG ANOTHER FAMILY TO SPLIT THE CONDO COST. Three
and four bedroom town homes can be rented for approximately the same
cost as a nice one-bedroom condo. Bring along friends or another family to
split the accommodation cost.
3. CONSIDER RENTING BY OWNER. Many Buttermilk ski resort condo
owners rent “by owner”, meaning you’ll save an average of 25%. This is the
normal percentage charged by rental management companies to “rent”
individual condos. Plus, many management companies are now tacking on
additional cleaning fees, extra deposits, etc. The downside to renting by
owner is that most do not accept credit cards and may not be able to
respond quickly to maintenance issues. There are several reputable
websites listing condos for rent by owner, including www.vrbo.com and
www.greatrentals.com.
BUTTERMILK SKI RESORT RESTAURANTS & DINING
4. DINE OUT BETWEEN 5 P.M. AND 6 P.M.- Many Buttermilk ski resort

aware the wait to get into restaurants at night during the busy season can
