The Gant is quiet, comfortable, convenient, and scenic. After staying here over 30 years ago, we wondered if it would feel outdated. It did not. Everything felt updated and most comfortable. Perhaps being a 50-year-old property is why it feels so spacious. We did reserve a Premier unit so that everything would be as nice as possible. The artwork was a little too contemporary for our taste, but the condo was otherwise just great. At check-in, we were informed that we had been upgraded from a 1-bedroom to a 2-bedroom, and that we would have a beautiful view of the back pool. Being in Building F, our view was not of the pool but of some bushes, but that was still nice. The back pool was serene but the pool tile is really dark so it looked strange to us. There's also a very nice BBQ area behind the pool for gatherings with really nice furnishings. Hardly anyone was out near the pool area, so it was peaceful. A negative was the placement of the master suite in the unit, adjacent to the walkway and entrance to the unit. The view from the master suite was to the walkway next to the front door, so the blinds had to be kept closed for privacy. Also, when people were walking by in the early mornings, it could be heard from the master suite. The other room had two twin beds but a nicer view and quieter location. The technology was a little challenging too, with the air conditioning units each having a strange remote, and the light switches programmed to let you turn all lights in the unit off at the same time, which we sometimes did accidentally. It was hard to figure out what to turn on and off, and how. May have been a bit too advanced for our comfort. Kitchen was well stocked, even with coffee. There is a good grocery store within walking distance. Having a washer and dryer in the unit was wonderful! We did not expect housekeeping service on the second day, and were surprised to return after hiking to find that the housekeeper had loaded and run our dishwasher and fully serviced the unit. When we thanked her the next day, her attitude was "You're on vacation - I'm here to take care of you!" The grounds are amazing! Landscaping is so beautiful and well maintained. Plus, you have a view of Aspen Mountain from The Gant and can even walk to the ski area and to/from the transportation center. It is sad that woodburning fireplaces are not allowed anymore there, and I guess they're working on converting them to gas. Thankful we got to visit again and that it was another great stay.
