This was our first trip to Breckenridge and certainly won't be the last (we typically go to Beaver Creek). We booked pretty last minute so this was the best we could get. We rented a 4 bedroom which was spacious enough (although doesn't hold a candle to the stuff we've rented at Beaver). Kitchen was very well equipped as were the bathrooms but the beds (at least in our unit) were horrible.

The location is the reason we would not stay there again. For some i'm sure it would be fine, but we have been spoiled by true ski-in/outs over the years. This one we had to walk through the underground garage to get to the ski holding area and then drag our books and skis up the stairs a ways to finally arrive at the ski lift area. We were exhausted by the time we got everyone up there and situated and at the end of a long ski day too exhausted to do it back again.

It was, however, convenient to walk to restaurants at that end of Main Street.

The pool and hot tub were located right beside the ski holding area so required walking through the same underground parking, outside down a path..... We didn't bother.

All in all, decent enough.

These units are all individually owned so there may be variations. We were in unit 5404 (3BR) on the top floor. It was a very spacious unit with vaulted ceilings. It wasn't as luxuriously appointed as some units we've stayed at in Beaver Creek but for the price I was quite pleased. The kitchen was well stocked with nice dishes, glasses, utensils and top notch appliances, both large and small. It also had cable with all the premium channels. Our only legitimate complaint about the actual unit was the master BR bed. It had a Sleep Number bed for which the owner had hidden the controller in the owner's locked closet. It took us two days of miserable sleep on a rock hard bed to get management to find the controller so that we could soften the adjustable bed.

As for the location, Water House is part of the larger Main Street Station complex. The actual Water House building is tucked in behind so the pool and hot tubs are a ways away. As such, we didn't use them. The location is very convenient to all the shops and restaurants on Main Street. As for skiing, getting to the slopes is a bit of a pain. First you have to get to the storage concierge area which is a bit of a walk to an adjacent building. Then you have to hike about 200 yards, up a flight of stairs to get to the lift, carrying your gear. Not the end of the world, but not ideal either. We prefer true ski-in ski-out but we booked too late.

In summary, what we paid represented good value compared with what we've paid at other resorts. If you don't mind walking to the lift and are fine with no amenities (hot tub, pool, gym,front desk) in your actual building, as opposed to an adjacent one, then Water House is worth considering.
