We had a wonderful summer stay in Panticosa. The apartment is spacious, well stocked and has fantastic views. It was only four of us (kids 7 and 9), but the apartment would comfortably fit 8. The amenities at the complex are extensive. It's a 15 minute walk to town, part of it along a main road with no sidewalk-- so we just drove the few minutes and parked in town, which was easy. You'll want a car while in Panticosa anyway to get to all the activities, of which there are many-- we stayed for 5 days and still didn't get to everything on our list. Having the underground parking garage and winter shuttle bus would be very nice in the winter. We definitely want to return again some day.
